February 2-4, 2018: One Stooge, Two Dopes

 

2/2/18: Rep. Devin Nunes releases a three-and-a-third-page memo, proving that all those who work for Trump are innocent lambs and all top officials with the F.B.I. and Department of Justice are crooks.

According to Nunes, in 2016, one member of the Trump campaign, Carter Page, was placed under a FISA warrant without cause. This proves that General Flynn and George Papadopoulos, who have already pled guilty, are innocent!!! Also, Paul Manafort and Rick Gates shouldn’t stand trial. As for Don Jr. and Jared, this means the secret meeting they had with Russian agents no longer matters. 

It probably stings a little when the largest newspaper in his home district, the Fresno Bee, labels Nunes, “Trump’s stooge.”


The stooge.

2/3/18: Trump wakes up in a sunny mood. According to no less a legal authority than himself, the Nunes memo – more than three pages long! – proves that he is innocent of all wrongdoing regarding Russia. 

He tweets: 

This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

2/4/18: The president withdraws Kathleen Hartnett White’s name from consideration to head up the Council on Environmental Quality. Even Senate Republicans have concerns about her qualifications. In 2014, for example, White touted the virtues of fossil fuels. She argued that that they helped end slavery because they “dissolved the economic justification” for it. Later, White said producing more carbon dioxide and releasing it into the atmosphere was good news – because carbon dioxide was “the gas of life.” 

White also claimed that climate change regulation was a conspiracy pushed by communists. 

You might just as well nominate a panda bear to head up the Council, for all the good Ms. White might ever do.
