Trump attorney Ty Cobb declined to comment to the New York Times about its report that Trump sought to fire Mueller.
That seems like the wrong lawyer to askâhow would McGahn react to the question? Many people think he is behind the leak and trying to make himself look goodâŚso probably âno commentâ, with a wry smile.
There have been all kinds of whispers that some big blockbuster revelation about Trump-Russia was imminent, and now this.
But I donât think this is it. I think any day or week now we will get another story equally unsettling.
Impeach Donald Trump before he surrenders to Russia.
Trump: Presidents donât work. They take credit and disperse blame.
He said fake news? Wow. Totally did not see that coming.

how about something insane like Carter Page was seen going into the Cozy Bear workspace by Dutch intelligence.
ZOMG that would be beyond awesome.
WTF is wrong with this pathological liar? Even FOX, for Christâs sake, says he did it.
This litany of âfake newsâ reminds me of the former hobo in âSlaughterhouse-Five,â captured in the Battle of the Bulge, who kept telling all the other prisoners âThis ainât so bad, I been in worse places than this.â âThis ainât so bad,â he kept saying, and they were his last words. And Trump will be mumbling âfake newsâ as heâs taken away. What was always obvious about where this was going remains so.
Iâd LMFAO at this fool if he wasnât a potential threat to the entire world.
There is that. I have this sad little hope that this latest thing persuades a few people that his instinct under stress is to do the worst, most catastrophically destructive thing possible. Might be an important insight to keep in mind.
I saw a link to this last night but it was in Dutch so I could not read it.
Beat me to it.
Several other outlets, including Fox News, the Washington Post, and Politico, followed up with confirmation of the New York Timesâ reporting.
So, is Fox News also Fake News now? Did they just make a mistake in confirming the Times report? Or is this just a one-off when they reported correctly and theyâll soon be back to normal?
Donald Trumpâs reflexive, low brow incantation of the words âFake Newsâ are beginning to remind me of the childhood fable my parents read me. It was about a boy who cried âwolfâ in a central European town back when wolves presented a security threat to humans. Except in this case, Trump himself was elected with Russian Intelligence Servicesâ deployment of Fake News on the US Social Media, so it is a projection his constant incantation of âFake News.â
What a sleazy, unprepared, unqualified President. You know who warned us all about that, but she had email baggageâŚand Benghazi baggageâŚand her last name was ClintonâŚ
Fake president so it follows that it is fake news.
What a moronâŚ
The other part of this is that Trump doesnât have the guts/balls to fire someone himself. I wonder if Mueller has talked to Keith Schiller the delivery boy of Trumpâs choice? So since Trump needs to be seen as balls to the walls in charge why would he not pick up the phone and fire Mueller himself?
âDonald, Donnie if you want something done right you need to do yourself, because as we have all heard over the years, you are always right.â
On his death bed Trump will gasp out a last âFake news,â but around the world people will hear a disembodied voice whisper, âRosebud.â
