The NY Times is now reporting that Trump boasted to the Russians in the Oval Office about firing “nut job” James Comey, and that the investigation would be relaxed. Quote:
“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
This clown is unhinged.
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been named by the DOJ as special counsel in charge of the entire Russia investigation.
Now THIS little tidbit –
The Washington Post is reporting that during the chaos last night, Spicer was trying to hide from the press behind some bushes on the north lawn of the WH. He finally agreed to answer questions, but with no television lights. So he gave an interview between two bushes in the dark. Pretty symbolic, in my view.
Where is Zach Galifianakis when you need him?
I just tickled myself.
The Pentagon says that the Russians were given advanced warning of Trump’s cruise missile attack on the Shayrat airbase in Syria. The missiles destroyed a few out-of-service aircraft and empty fortified bunkers. The airbase is already back in use. Here’s a satellite photo taken after the attack:
Notice anything unusual? The main runway is undamaged untouched. I mean completely untouched. So, the US launches 59 Tomahawk missiles and NONE were targeted on the runway? One of the cruise missile’s missions is to disable airfields by landing 1,000 lb warheads or multiple cluster bomblets to make craters, rendering the concrete runway unusable. Instead, they hit outlying buildings, inflicting no damage on the actual target, the runway. As a result, warplanes that had been moved are already back in service.
Just to give you and idea of the high explosive nature of Tomahawk’s, here’s a video demonstration of it’s capability. You can go to about 4:15 to see the explosive force on a demonstration target.

So, follow along with me here. The US warns Russia of the attack. Syrians move all their working aircraft off the base. The cruise missiles land, but don’t touch the airbase runway. The Syrian planes are already back in operation at the base. What a coingkydink. Was this an actual attack or window dressing covering some larger coordination between Trump’s regime and Putin’s?
This whole story fails the straight faced test. Who’s kidding who here? Why is the media virtually ignoring these blatant inconsistencies?
Something is rotten in Palm Beach.
The Washington Post is reporting that apparently the WH is trying to keep Sally Yates from testifying in the Russian scandal, citing Presidential privilege. Yates, through her lawyers, told the House Intelligence Committee that she wanted to testify, so….the hearing was promptly cancelled.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
