It's been a really, really messed-up week for the Trump administration, believe me. And the week hasn't even ended yet!
Let's see: Sally Yates (who Trump previously fired ostensibly for opposing the Muslim Ban, but more likely for knowing too much) and James Clapper both testify about the Russiagate scandal. James Comey, director of the FBI, had requested more resources for the burgeoning Trump-Russia investigation, and the FBI very recently issued grand jury subpoenas for Michael Flynn and his associates in regards to potential collusion with Russia. Trump abruptly fires Comey from his position as head of the FBI, and apparently Attorney General Jeff Sessions recommended that Trump do so. And of course Trump, Pence and others in the administration doggedly deny that the firing had anything to do with the Russiagate investigation (riiiight)--not that that stopped Trump from lawyering up. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer goes into hiding (literally in the bushes!) and refuses to talk to any media other than Faux Noise. He has Sarah Huckabee Sanders stand-in for him and hold a press conference in his place, and it was a total disaster. Move along, nothing to see here folks....
All this in a matter of just three days, and no sign that this will go away anytime soon. It's only a matter of time before Trump, Pence, and perhaps even the entire administration are "Out Like Flynn".
I swear, you really can't make this stuff up!
UPDATE: On Thursday, two days after firing Comey, Trump finally admits that it was because of the Russiagate scandal--which of course he still claims is a "made-up story" and "fake news". Riiiiiiight.

I think that Donald Trump is going to be impeached before his first term ends. According to the CBC, a man who predicted that Trump would win also predicts his impeachment. Since Trump admitted that James Comet was fires for wanting to put in more resources for the Russia investigation, suspicion will grow against Trump. It has been a hard four months of starting as President for Trump but he knows that the Russian collusion was real and is not going away. The Russians are being silent because of the alliance that was made.
ReplyDeleteLatest I heard was that many in the White House believe that if Paul Manafort were to testify, Trump would resign shortly afterward.
