Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Say what you will abt Trump's immunity tweet, but it's not evidence of a great cover-up. It's evidence he's confused & scrambling.

        Ari Fleischer probably helped Rove/Cheney (latter of whose lawyer worked at same firm) by getting immunity & testifying. But that's rare.

        This is actually the best reason, IMO, to be skeptical that #russiagate is going to blow wide open.

        In most admins, behavior we're seeing would suggest that there is "there there." In this admin, possible that it's just inherent dysfunction

        I say that on just about every media appearance I do: how would we distinguish incompetence from cover-up? We can't.

        Ya, and even if there's a "cover-up," do these ppl really know what they're covering up or have an accurate evaluation of its significance?

        Or are we seeing ingrained political hardball tactics+incompetence of Trumpist GOP being used in a context where they're totally inappropria

        Exactly. He's an idiot who plays games, thinking he's "like, a smart person".
