I don't think Trump is out of the woods, even though his poll numbers are not only staying up, they have actually been strengthened some.
If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
If he had a receptive audience, and I will tell you, when everything -- when all the facts were to come out, it would be like Nixon and the tapes.
The midterms really helped him. They transformed the race, best midterm elections for any president in 20 years.
