CNN analyst astonished at how ‘frantic’ Donald Trump is becoming: ‘He sees the walls coming down around him’

President Donald Trump might see "the walls coming down around him," CNN's chief political analyst Gloria Borger said during a panel discussion Thursday.

In wake of the details surrounding Michael Cohen's plea agreement and the president's denial, Borger explained Trump is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

"The president seems to be growing more and more frantic day by day [by] comparing the Mueller investigation to Joe McCarthy and the rogue investigators and on and on and on," Borger said. "What we do know -- and of course we are all piecing all of this together -- but we do know he finished answering questions in writing. We do know from reports that Manafort's attorney has been talking to the White House about generally what's been going on in his part of the woods here after their negotiations fell apart. And things seem to have just been spinning and spinning and spinning since that time."

She explained that there's nothing wrong with Manafort's attorney talking to the White House, but when a client is a cooperator in the investigation it raises questions.

"What do they know now?" she wondered. "What do the president's attorneys know? And what does the president know about the areas that Bob Mueller intends to pursue? Well, what he learned this morning is that there is an area involving Michael Cohen and concerning this Trump Tower, Moscow. Because now the two men are telling divergent stories. I think you should expect that this spinning will continue and that the president could grow more frantic because it's possible that he sees the walls coming down around him."

The only variable, Borger explained, is that Americans still don't know what all Mueller has in his investigation.

Host Kate Boulduan agreed, noting that the most concerning statement from Cohen's attorney, for Trump at least, is that Cohen is cooperating "and will continue to cooperate." The president's former "fixer" will continue to give Mueller's investigators information as it's needed.

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig said that he almost wishes the president could have "a little bit better of a poker face," because it's clear he's "having a meltdown" and panicking over everything Mueller said in his filings. It prompted him to wonder why.
