Trump Blames Blagojevich’s Prison Sentence On Comey, Who Wasn’t At DOJ At The Time | Talking Points Memo

Just when you think the insanity can’t get any more, here we go…it’s totally normal in Trumpville though, his fans are probably now mad at Comey for putting a Democrat in prison for corruption and celebrating Blago being out in the world again.

It makes you wonder how absurd the next thing is going to be, and the one after that…after all, Trump needs to build up to the cliffhanger finale in November, so we need lots of ratings stunts between now and then.

So if a Senate seat is a “fucking valuable thing” that you don’t “give away for nothing,” what’s a person’s freedom worth? Tell us, Donnie, brag a little, don’t be shy, you must have done pretty well in the deal, you fucking cheap crook.

Of course, Trump blames everything on Comey . . .I’m sure if Trump was asked, he say that “original sin” was all Comey’s fault.

If they believe this kind of lie, Mr. Trump and his supporters are idiots. It’s a wonder he didn’t blame President Obama for this…after all, he won that election and it was his fault the Senate seat was vacant!

Obama sold the seat to Blago to sell on. Should face charges!
