Trump and his cronies trying to discredit/derail the investigation is actually a very good sign. Investigations into wrongdoings by public figures tend to follow these steps:
1. 'I didn't do anything wrong.'
2. 'I didn't do anything wrong, and I welcome this investigation, confident that it will clear my name.'
3. 'Well, OK, some of the people who work for me made some bad decisions, but that's nothing to do with me.'
4. 'The people investigating me are treating me unfairly and are corrupt themselves.' (current stage)
5. 'I'm going to step down to spend more time with my family.'
6. 'My team and I plan to appeal this conviction.'
7. 'With the help of God, I've paid my debt to society.'
So, halfway through the process. Good times.
