“And Dana Perino thinks Priestap should be given a chance to explain himself.”
I saw that, Tucker’s eyes almost popped out of his head when she said that.
He said whoever wrote that note should be fired and arrested. She said something like “that would be an overreaction “. She is either a moron or a complete deep stater. Paul Ryan and the board must be making Tucker put her on. She was a less than zero on the show.
I was was truly disgusted by her response to this news!
No, I see her point. Priestap, or whomever it was who wrote it, could have been simply summing up where they were at the time, not plotting where they were going to go.
For instance, he might have believed Flynn had crossed a legal line and was merely setting out alternatives on ways to handle it, i.e., just get him fired, or catch him in a lie and prosecute him. Priestap might have even been convinced by others that Flynn was definitely guilty of violating a law and was just presenting alternative ways to proceed, depending upon what their goal was.
I think Perino was looking at it that way, not willing to jump to the conclusion that Priestap was plotting to set up an innocent man. There’s no doubt anymore, however, that someone was plotting to set Flynn up. It just might not have been Priestap, or whoever wrote thpse notes.
She’s a sweet lady but stunningly naive.
