Over the past week the hysteria on the right and among some weak-kneed Trumpers has been over the top. Even Rush Limbaugh began to wiggle uncomfortably, fearing Trump did know what he was up against, and hadn't moved fast enough to deal with the "silent coup" against him.
Jeff Sessions' recusal supposedly showed that Trump, like all the rest of the Republicans, didn't know how to play hardball.
Ooops.
I can always tell when something big is about to happen at Team Trump when my contact messages aren't returned. And I'm always pleasantly surprised that Team Trump is one to a dozen steps ahead of anything I'm thinking.
Case in point: yesterday I drafted a memo urging Trump to go on offense against the Democrats, specifically the Congressional rats. And as usual, I'm thinking of building a bowling alley while Trump is envisioning a gleaming skyscraper.
Today Trump's offensive began. But only after cleverly baiting the hook, luring the enemy Cannae-style into an envelope from which there is no escape.
He didn't fight back against the guys in the ring. He went after their manager, their coach, and their funder-in-chief. Trump went after the head of the snake.
By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi. The Bible says it this way: "They will come at you one way and go away fleeing seven."
Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama. Get it?
Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.
Many here will want blood. But I'm reminded of Sam Houston after he defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Instead of hanging the dictator, he merely took all of the American Southwest. Santa Anna was out soon anyway, but we still have Phoenix, Denver, and (unfortunately) California. It will be a negotiation from strength, and the Dems will have no choice but to comply. They won't completely give up---there will be surreptitious acts with enough deniability---but this was a perfectly baited hook that all of Trump's enemies just walked into.
Most likely, he read it in the newspaper.
0 went way beyond what was allowed.
First, he asked to ‘look’ at a wide range of things & got denied.
Then later, he got the OK to ‘look’ at just one, a bank.
But he ‘looked’ at President Trump’s —phones— anyway.
What arrests?
He now will have public support to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Obama administration...who knows where this will lead.
Thank you - could you ping me if/when you get names?
Ps- thanks for writing this and posting it. The chicken Little stuff gets a little old and I’m guilty of it too. Your words were needed and are always a pleasure to read. Time to stiffen the spine and proceed full speed ahead.

Trump needs to call it the O’SHIT initiative.(Obama, Sorros & Hillary Investigation of Treason)”
Good one!!!
You sound racist.
Anybody notice that Giuliani has been missing lately? Oh yeah, NYPD has all the Obama/Clinton missing emails and pizzagate stuff on ice.
Yes, yes it is. Even my husband who is normally not a big news watcher has been glued to it for the last few weeks.
Why? Aside from media junkies, most people don't seem to give a flying rip about the whole thing. Sure, liberals make a whole bunch of memes; that never depended upon media actually covering something. No one believes the fantasy that Putin somehow hacked the US election to make Trump win, no one believes that Trump and Putin are bareback horse riding buddies, and no one believes that any of this has to do with their daily life.
I am doing okay! I’m gonna nap for a bit, I’ve been up since 430AM writing! We’ll chat later... :)
No “any campaign investigation”, but “any —Russian involvement— in campaign inveastigation”
The basis used was allegedly false
Just to let you know, Harry Reid grand jury in Utah looks to be funded next week. Sessions needs to help out, but from arms length. Trust me, this case is acid that will eat up towards Podesta.
I also fear for our president, but this will go nowhere. The media will say Obama had reason because of suspicions that Trump was diddling with the Russians. An indictment of Obama won’t happen because the blacks would riot.
The only thing this does is push back, which is good. But no Democrat in good standing ever goes to jail for anything.
Like the Washington Post has ever bothered with "evidence" to support any of their allegations against Trump.
I'd been thinking just that ever since I heard about the president's tweets earlier this morning. Sessions recusal was pretty narrow considering all that's going on.
You are absolutely correct.... Again ..LOL! The rats took the bait ...line, hook and sinker! Now Trump can turn the tables around and say before I show you my proof show me proof the Russian govt rigged the election!! They won’t because they have nothing! Yep.. smart!
The one thing about crooks is that they are so arrogant, they never think they are going to get caught. And then they are.
