There’s a reason we have two different words for legality and legitimacy. Each new wave of information about Russia’s targeted assistance to Trump—and the Trump campaign’s acceptance of that assistance—subtracts from this presidency’s quantum of that second, higher quality. His supporters may not care. But legitimacy is important precisely because it shapes the behavior and beliefs of non-supporters. And in Trump’s case, those non-supporters are the large majority of the American population.

As Trump’s latest lies implode, one party tries to smuggle out the truth

Excellent article on how the FISA documents completely destroy Donny’s and his sycophants’ lies about the Russian affair. Small wonder the traitor is lashing out all over the place this morning. Mental breakdown, then removal from office? We can only hope. He’s very worried.

With the release of new documents, Devin Nunes’s memo on Carter Page has gotten even less credible

Another excellent read, that shows just how corrupt Donny and his enablers are.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...less-credible/

With the release Friday of a redacted copy of both the initial warrant application targeting Page in October 2016 and the three 90-day extensions of the warrant, we can get a better sense of just how far from the mark the Nunes memo actually was.

@realDonaldTrump

I’m very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t want Trump!


What a feckin' idiot. And you wonder where Whell learned the art of projection?

Trump is only saying that so when the democrats win the mid terms he can blame it on the Russians.

More idiotic Trumpian doublespeak:
