A little OT, but not much:
Atrios over at Eschaton just reported that Jared Kushner deleted every one of his Tweets from his Twitter account. Every single fucking one of them.
Hey Jared: Diamonds may not be forever, despite what Ian Fleming and de Beers says, but the Internet sure as hell is!

Used to be just “nothing happened”, now it’s “nothing happened beyond”. Tomorrow is another day.

Hopefully someone can make a long list of everyone connected to the Trump campaign who met with the Russians and lied about it. It seems to be a pretty consistent theme. I remembered Trump proclaiming that NOBODY with his campaign had met with a Russian agent.

Next March: “Yes, we shared all our targeting data with a single, solitary Russian who only worked for the campaign for 43 seconds, and yes, several members of the campaign staff plus the Duke of Orange were guaranteed pieces of Rosneft, but nothing happened beyond that. Also, did I mention Hillary?”

Smells like cheap gin and regret.

Hmmm, seems tied between “OMG, he deleted all his tweets!” and “We just did that a few months ago, there never were any tweets”

Trump was pressed for months to show he was serious about building a professional foreign policy team. In his first act designed to show that seriousness he told the editorial board of Wa Po this:

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump on Monday finally named several members of his team of foreign policy advisers in a meeting with The Washington Post’s editorial board, also laying out a global posture starkly at odds with longstanding U.S. policy.

Trump’s team of foreign policy advisers, led by Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, consists of counter-terrorism expert Walid Phares, energy consultant George Papadopoulos, former Defense Department inspector general Joe Schmitz, managing partner of Global Energy Capital Carter Page and former Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg. Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks confirmed the names to CNN.

“And I have quite a few more,” Trump told the Post’s editorial board, without offering details. “But that’s a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do. But that’s pretty representative group.”

***George Papadopoulos was in the first group of foreign policy advisers Trump named to demonstrate to voters he took international affairs seriously. He cannot now say George Papadopoulos was a bit player and unimportant. He SAID he was important during the campaign.***

“It has nothing to do with the campaign, it has to do with his failure to tell the truth. That doesn’t have anything to do with the campaign or campaign’s activities,” she said. “No activity was ever done in an official capacity on behalf of the campaign in that regard.”

from USA Today

In May 2016, Papadopoulos sent Trump’s then-campaign manager, Paul Manafort, an email that said, “Russia has been eager to meet with Mr. Trump for some time.” Manafort forwarded the email to a colleague with a note reading,“We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips.”

one of these stories isn’t true.

Going to need a wall sized white board and plenty of colored markers for flow charting the lies they’ve weaved when they chose to deceive.

Basically the Trump campaign subcontracted its campaign to Kelly Girls and cannot vouch for the sliminess of its part-time workers.
