Oof.

Mr. Spicer has not been well served by the book’s fact checkers and copy editors. He refers to the author of the infamous Trump dossier as “ Michael Steele, ” who is in truth the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, not the British ex-spy Christopher Steele. He recounts a reporter asking Mr. Obama a question at a White House press conference in 1999, a decade before Mr. Obama was elected. There are also some omissions: He writes about working for Rep. Mark Foley (R., Fla.), who he says “knew how to manage the news cycle. And on top of all that, he was good to staff and fun to be around.” He never gets around to mentioning that Mr. Foley later resigned in disgrace for sending sexually explicit messages to teenage boys working as congressional pages.

I like to think they did that on purpose.

Also Anna Paquin can play Sarah Huckabee Sanders in the film version.

So to summarize, at this point Trump’s full argument is “Russia did interfere in 2016, by colluding with Democrats to try and stop me from becoming president, and I’m very angry at the people who are investigating that interference.”

This makes sense. yes.

I assume you know the term, but just in case you don't, it's called Kettle Logic.

I actually think this tweet is best viewed in the context of the farm bailout and the dark money privacy maneuver: all three are the direct result of growing Republican alarm about the state of the upcoming elections.

Paul Ryan views things such as these as "just trolling"

hmm, when you put it that way...

Spoiler: show

I don’t think there’s nearly enough nervousness in the initial response to that tweet either.

Some circumstances where a person might make this absurd argument:

- If they wanted to build a narrative ahead of time that will help to cast doubt on Russian interference events to come.

- If they were prepared to invalidate elections in order to survive, but needed an excuse they could sell to the public. “Of course it’s a blue wave; the Russians did it!”

Obviously they might also do it if they were a deranged syphillic egomaniac, but that’s not mutually exclusive with the above.
