By establishing a war room to fight the Russia collusion investigation, the Trump White House is all but admitting their guilt.
Reuters reported, “President Donald Trump’s White House is preparing to establish a ‘war room’ to combat mounting questions about ties between Russia and his presidential campaign, administration officials and persons close to Trump said, addressing a scandal that has threatened to consume his young presidency. Upon Trump’s return from a nine-day overseas trip, the administration will add experienced political professionals and possibly lawyers to handle the Russia probe, which has gained new urgency since the Justice Department appointed a special counsel to head the investigation, the sources told Reuters.”
Innocent presidents who didn’t collude with Russia during the campaign don’t have to set up war rooms to defend themselves from criminal investigations. Administrations who are worried about going down in flames establish war rooms in a bid to hold on to power. Establishing a war room is not what normal presidents do.
The war room is an admission that the investigation is getting close, and Trump has moved from trying to win a battle for public opinion to a more legalistic approach that is intended to give congressional Republicans some PR guidance and lawyers to help them legally maneuver in a bid to hold to power.
When a president has to establish a war room to defend himself against allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia, things are going very badly. Trump and his administration are sinking fast, and their plans for a war room suggest a White House that is guilty and trying to beat the charges that they will be facing.
