After Implicating Himself On Twitter, Trump Desperately Lashes Out At FBI, Clinton

Reprinted with permission from Shareblue.com

If you thought things couldn’t get much worse for Donald Trump after Friday’s guilty plea by disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, then you don’t know Donald Trump.

On Saturday, Trump made what appeared to be an extraordinary admission that he knew Flynn was guilty of lying to the FBI when he fired Flynn, which would mean he also knew that when he pressed then-FBI Director James Comey to drop the Flynn investigation.

The White House subsequently embarked on a dubious attempt at damage control, insisting that the admission was actually drafted by Trump lawyer John Dowd in an attempt to shield Trump from legal liability. But even if true, Dowd’s involvement doesn’t change the fact that it was Trump who tweeted the admission, a fact that sent Trump into a panicked flurry of lies and distraction Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Trump began by comparing Flynn’s crime with Hillary Clinton’s total exoneration by the FBI, falsely implying a “double standard” in the way the interviews were handled, and inventing “lies” that Hillary Clinton never told:

I have begun to think that the more outrageous the behavior, the better for him. He may not be person of the year but he can get people to freak out by what he says.

criminally ( and all indications) lead to that end point.

But its like he enjoys abusing other people, and now that he as this "bully pulpit" from which to do it, just so how much of a sick puppy he really is
