QOTY: Trump
by digby
This is just a little reminder of one of the more astonishing events of this astonishing time.
“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Trump told the Russian foreign minister and U.S. ambassador on May 10 during an Oval Office meeting, according to a transcript of the meeting read to The Times by a U.S. official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
And then he added, “tell Vlad we’re in the clear…”
Remember, this happened the day after he fired Comey. And they kept the meeting a secret only Russian photographers and press were allowed in. And they stabbed Trump in the back when they released the pictures on the internet and late withdrew them:
All that happened. Just saying.
Update: Brian Beutler takes a look at Mike Pence’s deep involvement in these events.
