16. It was never not going to work in that regard

They could have pulled out a piece of used toilet paper and said it was proof that Donald Trump was the victim of a witch hunt, and his slobbering base would have eaten it up. Where this memo will ultimately fail is in stopping Mueller or protecting Trump, because it's nothing but smoke and mirrors. That might work on gullible Americans in an election year. It's not going to work against the FBI and the Justice Department. Trump has seriously miscalculated here.
