Okay, Trump. You're really going to go with the "vindication" thing? Really? Honestly?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

The former director of the FBI called you a "liar" under oath. He didn't say you "misspoke". He didn't say you "misrepresented". He didn't say you "weren't truthful." He didn't say you "deceived."

He actually said that you "lied." His words. Not mine.

Ouch.

He also said you "directed" him to drop the investigation, and I know you're going to try to spin by claiming that he didn't say you "ordered" him to drop the investigation, but stop bullshitting us around as if "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go"--right after you had cleared the room--wasn't anything but an instruction.

He also said that you fired him because he wouldn't drop the investigation, not for any internal problems in the FBI or for the bullshit excuse you forced your Assistant AG claim was the supposed reason. But hey, we already know that. Just ask Lester Holt. Or the Russian ambassadors.

And yet you claim he vindicated you, totally and completely. You also accuse him of being a "leaker". You like the word "leak" a lot, but honestly whenever you say it, it just makes us think of other things--you know, "that thing"--and we just can't help but giggle. So keep at it, why don't you?

So you feel "totally and completely vindicated" over someone you also claimed lied and was a "leaker".

You're even a bigger moron than I had previously thought.

But in the words of a great man who actually deserved the title of office of President, a man you will never, ever, ever equal in greatness or legacy or simple basic common sense humanity:

Please, proceed.

1. He keeps using that word. I don't think it means what he thinks it means.

ETA:

One of the first things that happened after Devin Nunes revealed the shocking! new information he was fed by someone in the White House was "a reporter" yelling out the question "Do you feel vindicated?" at a Trump photo-op. To my knowledge that reporter was never identified by name in any of the articles about it. I wondered then if it was a friendly RW reporter who had been primed to ask that specific question or even a staffer who managed to yell it out and then melt into the crowd. I'm even more convinced of it now.

4. Pleased proceed

Mr. President!

"Please proceed Governor." That was a moment, wasn't it?

5. Hmm.. whom to believe...

A) A man known and very well documented (even with video proof) as a narcissist, a vindictive ass, a con man and a pathological liar, who loves himself, money and power more than our country or helping the nation move into a better future for ALL.

Or....

B) A man who has a very good reputation amongst his peers for doing his job with integrity & honesty, who inspires (not demands) loyalty of those he works with and has a deep love of our country (although seriously misguided with the Hillary email crap last Fall).

No contest... B/Comey, though flawed, is still a MUCH more believable and decent human being than Trump ever has been or will be in this life.

6. By trump

claiming he was vindicated about not being under investigation, he keep it on everyone's mind. there were 2 parts to that answer.

He would not publically state combover was not under investigation because of the nature of the investigation. If mango man became a part of the investigation, Comey would have had to also "correct the record" and make that news public. Comey was actually doing shartface a favor, but he wouldn't let it go.


If there was any confidentiality about their meetings, Twitler in chief broke it himself, by tweeting about them. Trump has to realize that not every word he types or utters is automatically classified info. Repeating what he says is not breaking any laws.

7. "Please, proceed"...da!*

Great post! Tommy!


*da!*: dum a$$!

8. It's a common right-wing negotiation tactic.

Claim more than you want or even need, or more than is at all justified...then let them work to bargain you down to a position that is still overreach.
