Donald Trump just suggested the FBI, Democrats and Russia might all be co-conspirators

(CNN) President Donald Trump sent this tweet on Thursday morning: "Workers of firm involved with the discredited and Fake Dossier take the 5th. Who paid for it, Russia, the FBI or the Dems (or all)?"

Link to tweet

This is, of course, somewhat common fare by this point in the arc of Trump's presidency. Faced this week with storylines he doesn't like -- questions about the Niger attack, controversy over a phone call he placed to the widow of one of the soldiers lost in that attack, Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Capitol Hill facing questions about Russian meddling in the election -- he aims to change the subject via his Twitter feed. And he often does so by lobbing out a conspiracy theory with only the loosest ties to the factual world.

I suggest companies whose stock was damaged by his tweets sue twitter.

Maybe then they'll remove his account.

FBI has been verifying it

Jeb Bush or his friends are most likely the folks who commissioned it originally.
