Is it wrong that I’m imagining what Nixon would have done with Twitter?

Anyhow…

Yup, if he’s starting his smear campaign, it means he knows it’s not gonna be good.

Geez, is this jerk predictable.

And I hope it’s really, really, really bad. Feinstein’s words seem to indicate that it is.

Clapper was also asked on “Meet the Press” if he had any evidence that the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russian government while the Kremlin was working to influence the election.

“Not to my knowledge,” Clapper said, based on the information he had before his time in the position ended.

“We did not include anything in our report … that had any reflect of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report,” he said. “We had no evidence of such collusion.”

When asked whether he still believes that Russians interfered in the U.S. election to help Donald Trump, Clapper said, “Yes, I do.”

One day, Clapper and Benjamin Wittes should meet over coffee and compare ‘Trump notes’.

Unless Nunes told him what was going to be discussed today, he likely doesn’t have a clue what’s going to be discussed by the committee.

Anyhowww

Fake News is becoming a hoary cliche. Most ironic, too, since his presidential campaign apparently benefited and was probably behind all manner of fake news, about Hillary Clinton’s fatal illness and the existence of an indictable offense in the Clinton Foundation and Dept of State email server issues. I think there will be indictable offenses in the Trump Campaign -Inner Circle Collusion with Russia. But like Lou Costello in some old comedy routine, future generations will remember a mentally unbalanced man with fake tan and fake Liberace hair spewing “Fake News!!! Fake News!!!” as he is dragged off in disgrace, the worst President in the history of the United States, and possibly in the history of all elective democracies.

He is constructing an alternative man theory. When lawyers have clients that are obviously guilty they point the finger elsewhere.

The wiretap tweet storm + WikiLeaks doc dump UMBRAGE were used by Hannity, Couter, Limbaugh etc to accuse the CIA of hacking Clinton. He’s got to produce a fall guy. Obama doesn’t fit, but what about Clapper? What about Hillary?

The problem with Trump is that when a lawyer gets his client off with an AM theory defense it’s because the jury believes the lawyer. No one believes Trump. Especially not where it concerns Russia, Russia, Russia.

10AM EST. Make the proper adjustment if you live in AZ or the Antarctic. This is must see TV.

He may not have a clue from Nunes on exactly what is coming, but he knows what might come. Projection of a guilty conscience…

It will be 10 p.m. for me. I can watch a couple hours, for sure.

Whenever this pig starts squealing about “fake news” you can be sure that the exact opposite is the case. His claims are all the more outrageous when one realizes just how much genuine “fake news” he himself generates, i.e. Obama and the Brits wiretapped me.

I don’t think he’s capable of telling the truth.

Thousands of NJ muslims on video, cheering 9/11 attacks – fake news from Trumpp’s mouth

Ted Cruz’s father was involved with JFK assassin – fake news from Trumpp’s mouth

Obama wiretapped me at Trump tower – fake news from Trumpp’s mouth

If it comes from Trumpp’s mouth, assume it is fake news if he provides no evidence.

C-SPAN will have this within an hour or two of the wrap. They will broadcast live on the web, but they will also put a good copy on the website if anyone has a problem catching the hearing. Streaming you can get in a lot of different places, but for the whole hearing without interruptions try C-SPAN.

I don’t suppose FOX will stream it live, will they? Could be fun!

In other words, at the very least, Trump sided with Russia, and lied to the American people.

Traitor comes to mind.
