Trump loves to talk. He likes to talk on the phone to his corrupt friends. He may regret it.

I'm sure Mueller has more surprises coming. Mueller has already charged people in secret. There may be more we don't know about. Trump has no idea if any of the people he calls has been charged with a crime and is now working for Mueller. The FBI could be listening and recording phone conversations.

It has been reported Trump is more worried about the Cohen investigation than the Mueller investigation. That may be a mistake.

For those who don’t know what that means, it’s a Shakespearean quote in Hamlet meaning hanged by their own words. Or more literally it means the bomb maker Who is blow up by his own bomb. A petard is the French name for just such a bomb.

I love language!

Pétard comes from the Middle French péter, to break wind, from the root pet, expulsion of intestinal gas, derived from the Latin peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind. In modern French, a pétard is a firecracker (and it is the basis for the word for firecracker in several other European languages).Pétard comes from the Middle French péter, to break wind, from the root pet, expulsion of intestinal gas, derived from the Latin peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind.
