“It looks as if the President just for a moment forgot that he was President,” Hayden continued. “Why didn’t he simply use the powers of the presidency to ask the acting director of national intelligence, the head of the FBI, to confirm or deny the story he apparently read from Breitbart the evening before?”

Seriously, that’s the best “defense” of all this nonsense? He FORGOT he was president? Why not say, “He’s an idiot, he’s dangerous, he’s clueless, he doesn’t know anything about the job,” etc? Why do GOPers always seem to think saying how stupid they are or how hard it all is constitutes a defense?

Why on earth would Trump ask the FBI or the acting director of national intelligence for information about wiretapping?

He has information they don’t have!

Umm, if the President is the object of a criminal investigation all he has to do is demand law enforcement tells him, and reveal the extent of their investigation and methods used (wiretapping), and they have to divulge it to him? What would stop any President from sending over such queries in written form to all of the intel and law enforcement agencies in government, every day, to stay abreast of looming legal issues?

Trump: There is absolutely no fun in that. I like suspense and drama. Everyone needs to talk about me … all the time. .
