Will check the timing of the announcement, which would lend credence to the “intent” (sorry, had to say it) to embarrass him publicly with a gotcha. Or, maybe they didn’t know he was in LA. Doubt it, so.... maybe signal to the clintoonians he protected.
Meanwhile, hopefully the Senate committee can expand the “russia” non-investigation to the clinton machinery, and mccabe and... mcaulliffe- and keep this investigation in the news and re-directed appropriately to the real criminal espionage with russians: the clinton server and all of her servants (Mills, the little pentagon bigmouth, Susan Rice and all the others).
If President Trump was badly served in any of this, it’s the fact that nobody predicted the fallout this might have so nobody on the communications team was ready with talking points, speakers, and a single message. They looked disorganized and contradictory last night and really are only now presenting a common set of facts.
