President Trump also knows that FBI Director Wray has just raided the home of a Clinton Foundation whistle-blower in order to classify and hide documents related to Mueller, Clinton, Uranuim One etc. He knows that Wray is involved in the Deep State cover-up along with Sessions and other high ranking members of his own DOJ, FBI, NSA etc. He know he is basically all alone and being attacked from all sides by his own administration.
He knows he is f*cked and he knows he needs he needs help and power, using these documents as leverage is his only way to survive this coup.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
