> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Gee, that’s deep. It’s pitched at about the intellectual level as “Nanny nanny boo boo!” It goes back to their old complaint about the leaker, not the deed being leaked. Reminds me of that scene in _Chicago_ where the DA suddenly introduces Roxy Hart’s diary as evidence. **Billy Flynn** : I object! My client has never held a diary! And even if she did, this would be… invasion of privacy, and violation of the fourth amendment, and… and illegal search without a warrant! **Roxie Hart** : Yeah, AND she broke the lock! ---

The approved spin has been formulated. “Comey’s testimony vindicated Trump” and “Comey confirmed Trump was not under investigation, just as Trump said”. Ask a Trump supporter about Comey’s testimony in a week’s time and this is all they will “know”. ---

I thought the spin is “Comey lied, and in the process of lying, totally vindicated President Stubby Fingers!” ---

Ask a Trump supporter about Comey’s testimony in a week’s time and this is all they will “know”. Picture an alternate reality with HRC in the White House. Two months into her term, with the investigation into her email server draggin on, Clinton fires Comey. In his testimony on Capitol Hill, Comey states that Hillary told that she hoped he could put the investigation to bed as it was stalling her legislative agenda. I’d love to tune into Fox news in that world. ---

_“I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible.”_ - DJT I don’t know what this sentence means. “Will be far more prevalent” implies that he expects Comey to leak more in the future. Did he mean “far more relevant”? Did he mean “were far more prevalent”? ---

Did he mean “were far more prevalent”? I wonder if he’s trying to say that he believes Comey will be found to have been the source of many previous leaks. In any case, he’s still focused on leaks when Mueller and the Intel Committee are interested in collusion with the Russians and whether Trump obstructed the FBI. But, yeah, leaks. That’s the real story. ---

But, yeah, leaks. That’s the real story. Maybe, but then you would write “were much more prevalent”. I guess expecting proper sentence structure is too much to ask for from him. ---

Not if they weren’t actually more prevalent at the time, but will turn out to have been next week once everybody gets their alternative facts straight. More seriously, this habit of Trump et al’s of teasing future action like it’s the next episode of some dumb reality show drives me bananas. “You won’t believe my secret ISIS plan/my tax plan/what I’m going to tell you about the tapes!” Well then go ahead and blow my mind right now, motherfucker, we all have shit to do. ---

Yeah, this is so annoying… the way he wants to create suspense for his big reveal. He seems to think he’s still on a reality TV show. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > I honestly believe the more likely answer is that he meant “relevant” but got the word wrong. That’s a good guess I think. But even with “relevant” in place of “prevalent”, it still doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense. Is he saying something like “people will soon realize why the Comey leaks are the real story”? It would probably have been clearer if he’d said the links would turn out to be covfefe. ---

Calling Comey “cowardly”?? What a filthy, disgusting, chicken-shit individual we have for President. My God, this behavior would be unacceptable from a 12-year old (even if, perhaps more understandable). There isn’t one thing about Trump to admire or even like.
