Donald Trump is having quite a day. His deflection isn’t quite up to par and so he’s actually making inculpatory statements about himself, when he thinks he’s effectively blaming it all on his favorite arch nemesis “fake news.”

Here’s his comment about how the intelligence agencies have “run amok.” Vladimir must be curling his toes in delight, as he pours another vodka.

“Running amok” in this case is apparently defined as doing the jobs they were hired to do in protecting national security, and investigating the ties of Trump and other GOPers to Russia and Saudi Arabia. We’re going to be in a world of hurt with both Barr and Ratcliffe undermining democracy. This is not good.
I really hope these statements end up in the impeachment charges.
Oh man, speaking of himself in the third person again.
What is it going to take, Speaker Pelosi?
