No, what he really said was the heretofore unbeknownst word, “oringes,” according to White House transcripts. I wonder if oringes and a cup of covfefe are what Trump has for breakfast. Nah. Probably something greasy from McDonalds. ---

He’s also pretty freaking upset about a report which totally exonerates him. Maybe he’s just annoyed because his high respect for law enforcement norms prevents him from releasing the report which would totally clear his name and embarrass his critics. \ ---

Yes, the stories were written from illegally leaked, national-security-endangering information—and at the same time were completely invented by unscrupulous journalists. If you can’t believe both these things at the same time, you will play no role in our upcoming Glorious Above-the-Law Monarchy. And your double-think-enabled neighbors will denounce you as a dissident and subversive element! ---

I was wondering whether Trump has the legal right to get the report, even if he has to have Stephen Miller read it to him. The news headlines that I saw this morning were about how people in the White House were nervous, because if the report gets released and Trump gets to see what they said about him under oath, it would unleash Trump’s wrath. I took from those stories that Trump (and Miller) don’t have access to it. But I guess it could make sense that Trump doesn’t care unless it becomes public, then it makes him look bad, but this explanation seems less likely that simply his not having access to it at this time. ---

Actually, it’s a pleasant surprise that he hasn’t – and it’s one of the few lines he seems unwilling to cross. One of the things I’ve learned during this horrible time is the post-Watergate norms with regard to Justice and the White House. Ostensibly, the AG reports to the President - but ever since Nixon it’s been understood that the president does not tell the AG who to prosecute. It’s just not done. Trump rants and fumes and tweets and rages and bangs his tiny fists on the table, but he’s never actually ordered either of his AG’s to do anything. Let’s keep it that way. ---
