Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

Who's the whitehouse official? Kushner?

“By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia’s actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia,” Mr. Spicer said. “The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it. Once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations.”

'our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations in which our president leaked private and highly classified information'

A second person seems like a big deal. They lose the "it was just Flynn" defence.

I'm still laughing my ass off, darkly, at this story which I'm sure someone has already posted here

I'd guess either Kushner or Bannon tbh

third time's the charm xp

bannon actually seems to me to be the one white house official who might not be hip-deep in russian intrigue

I'm just guessing tbh

Yeah, dude's such an isolationist nutcase I wouldn't be surprised if he objected to all of the Russia nonsense from the start.

Not because of any moral qualms, mind, but rather because AMERICA FIRST.

it's almost like NYT and WaPo are coordinating the timing of their reports

Comey sure does strike me as a showboating nutjob. Donald is a great judge of character, some say the greatest ever.

his in the air atm right? xp

The White House has acknowledged that Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner had contacts with Russian officials. https://t.co/FXukIjmR5r

jared

innarestin' that the focus is on kushner towards the end of that piece...

I think being slagged off by Trump would make me feel as if I'd reached some sort of pinnacle in my development as a well-rounded and upstanding human being.

leaked by bannon to destroy his nemesis! (prob)

part of me has wondered if bannon is so chaotic evil that he's the mole and the best way to end the administrative state and then the USA and maybe everything is just. like. this.

A rare Bannon leak not involving Budweiser

not much less plausible than anything else going on at the moment tbh xp

A rare Bannon leak not involving multiple changes of underwear throughout the day.

Trump O'Clock came a lil early today

Yeah, only gin can do that to a body, right? Beer works differently

Man, even the docu-dramas that'll be made about this era will be dumb, too, won't they

I saw it but eh who cares they're both dinosaurs at the end of their careers

Biden still kickin', in his own way:

we decided to go w the unqualified dinosaur

inevitably, i'm now stuck trying to imagine what dinosaur, for which we have a fossil record, was obviously "the least qualified" for survival.

Gin does a body good. Look at me.

Feeling like Trump is gonna pin this all on Kushner and get away

"I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off."
