Does no one here find the following a little…strange?
I do.
The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.
Mr. Comey, who made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter, has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down the claim because it falsely insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.
I repeat:
“A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.”
Almost three days so far, and nobody’s sayin’ nuthin’!!!
In the midst of a rapidly gathering constitutional crisis…because bet on it, that’s what’s headed our way, and soon…the only two involved parties to open their mouths with any seriousness are two repeatedly proven liars, James Clapper and Donald Trump. They contradict each other and thus their proclivityies for lying cancel each other out.
Everyone else…? The silence before the storm.
No one is willing to get in the way of what is about to happen because no one is really sure exactly what is going to happen.
Another interesting piece of info from today’s (Monday’s) early news:
In a piece about Trump’s angry reaming out of his staff on Friday (“[He}]went ‘ballistic,’ senior White House sources told ABC News.”).,ABC appended this little tidbit right at the end of the story:
As President Trump was in the air aboard Marine One headed for Air Force One on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, a last-minute phone call was made from the West Wing to the team on board the president’s plane with a directive to remove Priebus and Bannon from the manifest, sources said. They would not be coming to the Sunshine State.
Now…either the have been tasked with handling this business by themselves, staked out all alone in DC while the PermaWolves draw ever closer and Trump tries to keep his hands as clean as he can get them, or else they are going to be his designated patsies.
Later…
AG
P.S. Or of course…as in a vision I had fairly recently…Air Force One is on its way to a safe haven.
Like…Moscow.
(Just kiddin’…I think…)
Stay tuned.
P.P.S. Charles Dickens would have loved many of the names in this little novel. Trump, Comey, Bannon, Prince Rebus…errr, ahhh, Reince Priebus…
