It’s hard to argue with that assessment…

Donald will scream bloody murder at this dismissal, and the usual PDS (Pelosi-Derangement-Syndrome) commenters will insist that she is mishandling the strategy that they, and only they, understand better.

It’s like being dismissed by a queen. Take that, oh Trump who would be king. No room at the top for you. We already have the (right kind) royalty we want.

Twitler busy failing to realize that just because the cops messed up in getting the warrant to search your place for the dead body doesn’t mean you didn’t kill the person they found there…

Scientists quickly tested the letter and announced that it “contains fecal markers of multiple diverse species.”

“Ape, horse, a little chicken, bull, and bat,” a source said. “All there. But it’s mostly bat.”

You can say “no reaction” – or you can say “ridiculous” and even “really sick.”

One tack may be better than the other – who knows? – but can you take both?

Yes, right from the beginning of the Russia probe, Trump’s main “defense” has been based on the same kind of technicalities that used to so infuriate conservatives when they were used to get bad guys off.

This is the case of the police entering the room and finding a corpse and a perp holding a smoking gun, but he gets off because the cops didn’t have probable cause to enter the room, or didn’t read him his rights, or some such.

As it happens, there was plenty of probable cause, but Trump blames the guy who asked the first question.

To be fair, Manu Raju did keep asking her questions after she initially said “no reaction”.

“I haven’t really fully read it,” the Democratic leader responded. “We’ve been working.”

“I’ve seen the essence of it though, and it’s really sick,” she added."

Yes, I think you can say that what you have seen of it is sick, but that you have no formal reaction/response as yet.

Yes, and to be fair, I’m not saying she made a terrible error.

But if “no comment” really was her instinct, I just wonder why she did not trust it.

If this letter isn’t cited in the impeachment trial, I’ll be amazed.

If there is a trial, wait for Trump’s lawyers to cite it as a “perfect letter.”
