The Silence of the Lambs.

Did I miss something?

Did Trump's red hot hatred of the FBI, aided and abetted by Republican sheep by either action or inaction everywhere, ever end?

Is now mouthing sweet nothings via a binder full of Trumpist 'female assistants' that Trump has done a 180 and NOW Trump bigly "respects the independence of the FBI" a boatload of pure, finely strained purée of drap the "enemy of the people", not Fox, is going to swallow?

Has the "enemy of the people", not Fox, taken notice?

I love the way back time machine, hypocrisy is on full display when you use the time machine.

"Aided by the conspiracy mongers at Fox News, they have promoted a crackpot theory that there was a “secret society” within the FBI trying to bring down Trump. The zany conspiracy story involves two FBI officials, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and text messages they exchanged during the 2016 campaign. These were leaked to the press after the justice department turned them over to Congress."

The latest major Trump resignations and firings

"Some of the messages can be read as mocking Trump – in one, he is called an “idiot”. Mueller demoted Strzok, who had been one of his top counterintelligence experts, from his Trump-Russia investigation as a result. Strzok had led the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email investigation so the notion of him being a pro-Democratic mole is, simply, ludicrous.

The Republicans want to destroy the public’s faith in the impartiality of the FBI, in order to undermine Mueller. Their aim is to insulate Trump against the obstruction of justice charges the special counsel is said to be contemplating."

Remember Strzok and the Fox campaign to smear the FBI, because it has been a thing for over a year! Like, every day until this week!

Even the braindead Trump cult must be getting sick of being feed bowls of cold hypocrisy every day.

1. Something huge is moving underneath the surface. That Trump could do that in the first place

is insane and should have been a red alert.

Started with Garland. Trump election. Then the Nunes corruption...and he remains in place. DOJ purges. Love-ins with Putin and
North Korea. Allowing an accused sexual abuser to nominate a clearly unfit sexual abuser alcoholic. Now Graham insanity for several months, ending with a call to investigate Democrats.

Silence of the GOP means they see a way through this and have had a plan from the beginning. When will we wake up and see that we passed the fork in the road a while ago and see that we're not only lost but dangerously close to not being able to turn around?

each time Trump or McConnell lies to the world...should be treated as a clue to an underlying trend rather than a chance for 3 or 4 days of analysis of a single issue...as though this issue arose in a vacuum and the last two years hadn't happened.
