We should find out if the FBI, and presumably the CIA and NSA are also 'heavily paranoid' about Trump colluding with the Russians next week, if not sooner. Keep in mind that the FBI found the allegations in the Steele dossier legitimate enough to want to pay him to continue his investigation before Buzzfeed published and Steele decided to inoculate himself from accidental polonium poisoning by going to ground. Methinks the FBI was conducting its own investigation along the same lines at that time and 'no comment' on that is bad news for Trump otherwise we surely would have gotten leaks by now from congressional GOP types that, like Trump's accusatory tweets, there exists no supporting evidence.
To quote Fox's Shepard Smith, hardly a wild-eyed liberal reporter - "There’s been lying about who you talk to, and by lots of people and almost inevitably and invariably, they were lying about talking to the Russians, about something. It’s too much lying and too much Russia and too much smoke.” Its almost as if he''s prepping the Fox News audience to get their ideological fire extinguishers ready in case their craniums spontaneously ignite as this crime unravels. I envision Roger Stone taking the easy way out in a swan dive from the top of Trump Tower. Jared, who succeeded his daddy at the helm of Kushner Inc after Christie put him in jail, might want Ivanka to start designing matching orange jumpsuits. |

TRUMP - “I had been reading about things. I read in, I think it was January 20, a New York Times article where they were talking about wiretapping. There was an article, I think they used that exact term.”
CARLSON - “Why not wait to tweet about it until you can prove it? Don’t you devalue your words when you can’t provide evidence?” TRUMP - “Because the New York Times wrote about it. Not that I respect the New York Times. I call it the failing New York Times. But they did write, on January 20, using the word ‘wiretap.’ Other people have come out with – " CARLSON - “Right, but you’re the President! You have the ability to gather all the evidence you want.” TRUMP - “I do, I do, but I think that frankly we have a lot right now. And I think if you watched the Brett Baier and what he was saying, and what he was talking about, and how he mentioned the word wiretap, you would feel very confident that you could mention the name. He mentioned it. And other people have mentioned it. |

The chain of logic proposing, without proof, that the US intelligence community manufactured and continues to press a non-existant Trump-Russia plot to maintain inflated budgets irrationally ignores the fact that Trump now both submits and approves their budgeting. That notion sounds more than a little...weak minded. Were budget inflation their goal you'd expect the IC to be tripping on their dicks right now to dismiss any implication that the Trump was involved.
On the subject of 'proof' - barring a confession from one of Trump's accomplices, an unlikely event until the inevitable plea bargaining occurs, proof of Trump's treason resides entirely within the IC. Which means the public will never have that proof, we will ever only have media reports of it. So what better way to ensure continuing 'shadow of doubt' than brand the media as 'fake'. Of course this tactic fails when the branding campaign cant reconcile undeniable facts with their so-called 'fake' reporting. As was the case with the IC leaks about Flynn/Kislyak. Trump proceded to create a vignette where the leaks were true but the reporting on them wasnt. This in combination with concerted effort to frame the leaks themselves as the problem rather than the damaging information they contained. Machiavelli doesnt mix well with MC Escher ;) And how bleeping stupid is Flynn? Unbelievable that an intelligence honcho would call Kislyak, violate the Logan Act, then lie about it without considering Kislyak's phone is always being monitored. Its like Flynn learned all his tradecraft in elementary school. Now another centipede shoe drops. In Flynn's foreign agent filing, we learn that Flynn paid the FBI agent who, two weeks later in October, claimed a State Department official had asked him to ensure that one of Clinton’s emails not be deemed classified in return for a budgeting favor from the State Dept. After the media hoopla passed and the collateral damage had been done to the Clinton campaign that agent later admitted he had proposed the quid pro quo, not the State official. Do you guys hear that drumming in the distance? Three booming beats and what sounds like a growing chant. If you put your ear to the ground you can almost decipher the words... LOCK HIM UP! |

In other news today the Senate Intel Committee states "based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016." House Speaker Ryan puts it more bluntly "no such wiretap existed". |

He will not admit he was wrong on the wiretapping. His strategy is to never admit wrong doing. |

I think you are probably right. He doesn't like being wrong or losing and certainly hates being criticized. But who does. |

The back peddling of Trump and his staff saying he meant it in a broad sense is so funny. His comments on Twitter couldn't of been more direct. I just hope people are seeing through this. |
