A single day of news:

1. Russian hackers planted a fake story that disrupted relations all over the Middle East. Our government had been made aware and was investigating prior to the time Trump tweet-pushed the fake Russian narrative.

2. Sessions offered to resign, Trump is still mad about his recusal and resultant inability to affect the investigation.

3. Trump went to the DNI after Comey wouldn't drop the Flynn investigation, and asked HIM to press Comey.

4. Trump Org redirected hundreds of thousands of dollars of charity money for kids with cancer.

5. Comey pleaded with Sessions not to leave him alone in the room with Trump.

It's fucking absurd.

Pissing off Sessions is a dangerous line for Trump. Republicans love that guy...especially Republican legislators.

This is why i think Trump will truly drag himself down. he is pissing off some very important people that have maybe more power than he does.

[McParadigm]

I didn't even include the simple, clear Article 5 sentence that Trump excised coming to light.

[McParadigm]

Or that major law firms are turning him down.

Trump, furious and frustrated, gears up to ‘punch back’ at Comey testimony

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/ ... story.html

Alone in the White House in recent days, President Trump — frustrated and defiant — has been spoiling for a fight, according to his confidants and associates.

Glued even more than usual to the cable news shows that blare from the televisions in his private living quarters, or from the 60-inch flat screen he had installed in his cramped study off the Oval Office, he has fumed about “fake news.” Trump has seethed as his agenda has stalled in Congress and the courts. He has chafed against the pleas for caution from his lawyers and political advisers, tweeting whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

And on Thursday, the president will come screen-to-screen with the former FBI director he fired, James B. Comey, who has consumed, haunted and antagonized him by overseeing an expanding Russia investigation that the president slammed as a “witch hunt.”

Never more true

The president’s lawyers and aides have been urging him to resist engaging, and they hope to keep him busy Thursday with other events meant to compete for his — and the news media’s — attention.

Yeesh

Bring the child to the playground for the day. Please.

I hadn't heard that about Sessions

So while everyone is on the Comey Countdown he announces the new FBI chief.

The Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of former President Richard Nixon “pales” in comparison to the ongoing Russia investigations that have besieged the current White House, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told reporters in Australia on Wednesday.

"I think if you compare the two that Watergate pales, really, in my view, compared to what we're confronting now," Clapper said Wednesday, according to a report from Reuters.

"I am very concerned about the assault on our institutions coming from both an external source — read Russia — and an internal source — the president himself," Clapper said.

[McParadigm]

"How dare she call us deplorable!"

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

This shit show has got to end soon. What a fucking disgraceful nightmare this guy and his whole fucking miserable, greedy family are.

[McParadigm]

People waiting to tune in until tomorrow sure missed a fascinating hearing this morning.
