It is now with the stack of post-its in his to-do pile.
The NSA knows who wrote it.
They monitor everything,
Agree
He will slow walk it like he is doing with the ghost investigator named Huber.
LOL. Huber is indeed a ghost.
That is not obvious. For all we know it is a quote from Watergate guy’s book.
When Jeffy Boy fails, can Trump fire his ass?
Exactly right!
And Trump knows it. He is about to school the NYT on what inventing “anonymous sources” is all about. The Dems will clutch their pearls as they skulk away. Trump winning again!
Does Sessions even bother to look away from his navel long enough to make eye contact?
Sessions shouldn’t have to be told. But now he really better get on the ball and find the traitor.
Unless it was Wray who wrote it. Then it's Session's job.
I’m swiping that. You know they would have done it, too.
A way to put more screws to Sessions and help make a stronger case to fire him?
“I dont know why youd proceed in this way. Its not a crime. The direction should go to General Kelly to fire up the lie detector”
Then you are buying the NYT narrative that this hit piece was indeed written by a disloyal staffer within the Trump administration? Why would you believe them?
Trump’s choice of words is very interesting - he seems to be casting doubt on whether the piece was written by someone within his administration, as claimed. Note that he is asking Sessions to investigate who wrote it, not who leaked it. Note that he’s questioning NYT journalistic integrity. Note that he’s making the NYT decision to publish it an issue of national security. Never in Trump’s statement does he concede that so done in his administration leaked anything.
I think what Trump is doing is very clever - he is calling the NYT’s bluff - challenging them to put up or shut up - to prove that the source is truly someone from within the Trump Administration.
By making it an issue of national security, Trump has upped the anti:
If it is truly a leak, Trump’s White House looks bad, because the WH lack of control over leaks is jeopardizing national security.
If it is NOT a leak and is fake news, invented by the NYT, the NYT looks very bad - by knowingly publishing misinformation intended to sabotage and disrupt the office of the commander in chief - the NYT is jeopardizing national security.
Apparently, Trump suspects it is fake news and is putting the NYT in a box where they have to try and prove its not.
Either way, Trump wins, because the only way the NYT can prove it is a leak is by revealing who the leaker is.
“Generally I like the way Trump fights back, but Im concerned he is giving the NYTs obvious gas-lighting campaign undeserved credibility with this response.”
This along with the other narrative’s going on just now are going to turn the tables and cost Trump and the repubs the midterms in the house for sure and the election and then all hell will break loose with all investigations and more stopping.
Trump needs to release all the withheld info in DOJ/FBI and all the other sources he must know about from Admr Rogars (NSA) and other sources (the 119 good guys with in govt and FBI who want to come forward but no one will listen - NOW...why hasn’t he and expose all the criminals we know for sure tried and still are trying to overthrow our elected leader...maybe there are ones in there that will be too surprising on the repub side too...just before the election...for some reason someone is chicken sh*t to release the hounds...but it is his only way to stop all of this once and for all. Folks have to go to jail... by the 10s and 100s...
“I think what Trump is doing is very clever - he is calling the NYTs bluff - challenging them to put up or shut up - to prove that the source is truly someone from within the Trump Administration.”
Is he going to up the anti and get clever and quit talking about the damn NFL and release some damning info on the criminals BEFORE the elections to do some damn good at winning them to get this ongoing and on going and on going mess behind us!
Day in and day out this is all his administration is about and they are the criminals. Put them in jail damn it, build the wall and let’s get on with MAGA!
Go after anti trust with GOOGLE and APPLE and lte’s get the inter net open to free speech again.
What ever happen to his wis kid on elections working out of TX who was everything on high tech and all that....have heard nothing from him?????
We knew all of the cheating that went on in 2016, the dems promised more of that to come, the Chinese are helping, we’ve done NOTHING to stop it at all that I see and we have elections in two months...you know there will be more cheating and only a few house seat to cheat over and then sh*t for ever to combat????? Where is that change for the better!!!!!!!!
Get off the BS that doesn’t and get on the sh*t that does...someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Where is that change for the better!!!!!!!!”
Trump is steering a huge ship - he can’t make it turn on a dime. Not just the USA but the entire free world has been headed in the wrong direction for nearly a century.
I think Trump is going to be the gift that keeps on giving for generations to come - there is plenty to appreciate already - but there is a political realignment happening because of Trump that is much more far reaching than any criminal indictments of Obama era co conspirators.
They might not go to jail, but they’ll wind up in the dust bin of history where even a presidential pardon won’t save them.
The Justice Department is for criminal investigations. The article definitely deserves a White House investigation to weed “Anonymous” out of the administration, but I’m not sure a DOJ investigation is called for.
About as much as that kid at the restaurant, when you tell him not to spit in your salad.
