Just playbook stuff.

1. Look at a problem & then declare victory
2. Debase the problems character suggesting that their actions are cause for incarceration (Trump lawyer let that innuendo hang out there, and Trump put a nail in the lid via tweet)
3. Rinse & repeat until the drones fall in line.

#3 has already happened

it's just absurd

Matt Schlapp is a disgusting human. Goes with 'I'm a Comey fan', but 'he's a weak leaker and a liar' an he is personally disappointed. Just a different, ugly attack vector.Shred Comey's credibility is job 1.

Quick, get Trump on the line, Boeing is outsourcing new work to China! Those are NEWJOBS. Wasn't it a promise that those would be our jobs?!?!?


Psssst - Ya still have to be competitive in a global market.

terrific line of questioning by Sanders; and now conservative media hates Sanders and thinks he's anti-Christian. This guy wants to be part of OMB.

He'll have to get in line.

The best thing about the lawyer's statement/the tweet/the spin is that congress can now say, "Ok! He was lying? Come and tell your story under oath."

The Freedom Caucus wants to cut assistance to poor people as part of the tax cut legislation for rich people and corporations

So the counter attack is that the tweet accuse Comey of committing felonies, so that opens other doors.

well it may not happen, but at least Dems can start calling for it.

Trump is likely to make plenty more blunders. Just have to keep adding pressure.

At one point we thought an independent counsel would never happen. Look at us now!

Trump's lawyer announced that he is filing a complaint against Comey bases on leaked memos. Wow.

let's make it about notes he took about my obstruction of justice!

yeah really-- if the information in his notes is a lie, what was he even leaking?

calvin has it: call Trump to testify

So if you follow the logic about leaks in the complaint, then lies is perjury charges that he would be seeking, right? And can just anyone, i.e., the lawyer, do it, or does it need to be in Trumps name? Or can they even do it?

It's going to come out that Trump has leaked X to reporters while President and Spicey and SHS are just going to go out straight face to the press and say "well, when the President talks to the Press, even if it's off the record or anonymously, it is a statement by the President and is not the same as a leak."
