Highlights of the morning crazy

Trump called in to Fox and Friends this morning and it was wild. He seems to have had a whole lot of sugar and Diet Coke (or something.) He was wound up, to say the least:
BREAKING: Trump denies telling Comey he didn’t overnight in Moscow, then starts rambling about Hillary getting debate questions. pic.twitter.com/zGc9WnTcMc— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) April 26, 2018
From one perspective it’s one guy’s word against the other. The problem for Trump is that the space-time continuum being what it is, it’s not at all clear how Comey would know to make this up in contemporaneous memos written in early 2017. He would have no way to know it would be significant. It simply makes no sense. There does appear to be at least one witness, Reince Priebus. It will be interesting to see what he says.
I think Reince Priebus was a witness to at least one of the comments. Will he lie for Trump?
Trump on investigation/DOJ: “Because of the fact [the investigation] is going on, and I think you will understand this, I have decided I won’t be involved. I may change my mind at some point. Because what’s going on is a disgrace.” pic.twitter.com/XVmJ2xjlnW— Kate Riga (@Kate_Riga24) April 26, 2018
So Trump says he knows nothing about Cohen’s businesses, that Cohen is mainly a businessman and is barely even his lawyer. I’m sure that will help with the privilege argument. pic.twitter.com/JchJY2iLDX— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) April 26, 2018
Trump: Cohen repped him on “crazy Stormy Daniels deal” pic.twitter.com/dp820AaELL— Kate Riga (@Kate_Riga24) April 26, 2018
He had not admitted that Cohen repped him for Stormy before. And he knows plenty about Trump’s businesses, which is the real question…
