The reason he won't get away with it is that the facts are already out there and they are damning.

Right now, the burden is on him to find a better explanation of his call and the actions which preceded and followed it. Because the obvious explanation that he did it to try get an illegal electoral benefit using government resources is a perfect fit.

His standard tactic is abusing and bullying his opponents. But he's not going to win by trying to bully Schiff or Pelosi.

Trump Can’t Get Away With It Anymore

For a president used to living in an insular world created by his media ingenuity and relentless efforts at self-promotion, the lack of control right now must feel petrifying.

Faced with this mortal threat, Trump’s plan seems to be to simply tweet through it. A senior White House official told The Daily Beast that he explicitly said he doesn’t want a war room created to handle impeachment. And even if he did, who would staff it? Many of the people initially brought into the White House have left on poor terms. And those who would be comfortable being brought back are not trusted. It’s not surprising that the source for Friday night’s story in The Post was “three former officials.”

Certainly, Trump may find his way through this. He remains a star, after all, among his base of supporters. And in a Senate run by Republicans worried about being primaried this cycle, that seems like enough to see him through a trial that would follow the House’s impeachment. But even then, this week has provided a jarring and potentially crippling lesson for a president who isn’t particularly keen on making personal adjustment. There are, Trump’s discovering, limits to what your stardom will allow you to do.
