Well, the irony of all this is pretty delicious. Here we have Jim Comey - the FBI Director that Trump fired and vilified - basically announcing this evening that he, Comey, will be Trump’s principal witness against Comey’s own deputy, Andy McCabe - another “solid, reliable Republican” - when the Justice Department indicts McCabe for “insufficient candor” in describing the discussions that Comey and McCabe had about plying reporters with anti-Clinton Foundation stories during the presidential campaign: fictional stories that fed the press’s insatiable appetite for slandering the Clintons.
In one of Trump’s truest tweets ever, he said tonight that “Comey just threw McCabe under the bus”.
You mean the RNC has some money left over after they pay for PP’s and other’s legal teams and paying rent to The High Tower
The RNC is using campaign funds to pay Trump’s company more than $37,000 a month in rent, and to pay thousands of dollars in monthly salary to Vice President Mike Pence’s nephew, John Pence, party officials confirmed this week. The rent pays for office space in the Trump Tower in New York for the staff of Trump’s re-election campaign. John Pence is the Trump campaign’s deputy executive director.
Exactly, but if they are a rich, white “good person” they get a fine and probation, but if they’re a poor black “good person” they get 30 years in prison. Whether our justice system is the best in the world, it is still a bad joke.
To begin another week of fun and excitement here on the hellbound runaway train carrying our battered constitutional republic, let us gaze with wonder and awe at the single most maudlin, self-serving, and self-aggrandizing pronouncement given by a public official in my lifetime—and I covered Willard Romney when he ran for president.
I broke F.B.I. rules. I was no longer an employee so I wasn’t breaking the rules. So I took a bottle of red wine out of my suitcase that I was bringing back from California, a California pinot noir, and I drank red wine from a paper coffee cup and just looked out at the lights of the country I love so much as we flew home.
That was James Comey, International Man of Integritude, telling George Stephanopoulos of ABC about how he’d flown back to Washington after being precipitously cast out of Camp Runamuck in 2017. (The “wine in a paper coffee cup” is a lovely detail.) Get used to this stuff because Comey’s going to be all over TV this week, pitching his new book about the circumstances of which he was a helpless victim.
