Anxiety is spiking among Congressional Republican allies, who complain that Trump and the White House have no real plan for dealing with the Russia crisis while confronting a host of other troubles at home and abroad, this as more and more of Trump's former staff plead guilty to multiple crimes, or are tried and sent to prison. The Trump White House is understaffed, stuck in a bunker mentality and largely resigned to a plan to wing it. Steve Bannon cast's the President’s inner circle as naively optimistic, unsophisticated and unprepared for what lies ahead in Mueller's investigation
The lack of communication about the probe has left the president’s top lieutenants on Capitol Hill fearful about the fallout, according to multiple congressional GOP sources. “We haven’t heard from the White House at all on this. You’d think there’d be more of an effort to have a coordinated response,” one senior Republican aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to damage the aide’s relationship with the White House, told me. “Members want to help, but can’t if they’re not getting any information.”
Throughout the 18-month special counsel investigation, Trump has single-handedly spun his own deceptive reality, seeking (unsuccessfully) to sully the reputations of Mueller’s operation and federal law enforcement in an attempt to preemptively discredit their eventual conclusions, this as Robert Mueller and his prosecutors win legal victory after legal victory against former Trump staffers,with much more to follow. To make matters worse, Robert Mueller's disciplined style leaves Trump's team with no idea which direction the next legal challenge with come from.
