I don't know. It seems unlikely that it would be McGahn. Could be Priebus, I suppose.


There are four sources. I would bet that McGahn and Priebus are two of them.

Well, Trump isn't really very good at firing people. He's actually pretty bad at it, they say.

Well, since conservatives are so good looking, maybe trump will be popular in prison. Get that holster ready, Fat Donny.

Maggie and Michael Schmidt, who did the interview recently when he allowed Trump to ramble on basically unchallenged the whole time.

I guess there is no mistaking why he fired Comey. Same BS logic in the letter for Mueller.

It's like a Saturday Night Massacre, except one where the bad guy is staggering down the hall, occasionally knocking over a vase or a lamp, but occasionally wheeling around and poking someone with the knife, almost by chance.

My fav quote was from Ty Cobb: "“We decline to comment out of respect for the Office of the Special Counsel and its process.”"

You know what a president with nothing to hide would do? Promise to cooperate to get to the bottom of this Russia thing.
