Trump wants you to believe 2 contradictory things about the Russia scandal
A story can’t both be “fake news” and the result of illegal leaks.
President Trump wants you to be alarmed by “low-life leakers” who are sharing classified details with the media about his inner circle’s connections with Russia.
But he also wants you to believe the “FAKE NEWS media” is partnering with Democrats to invent the whole scandal.
In a series of tweets posted on Wednesday and Thursday, he alternatively described the Russia scandal as “non-sense” and a “made up” story — and,
simultaneously, as a story based on “information” being “illegally given” to the media by “low-life leakers.”

All y'all's Dear Leader is hilariously ignorant, thinking depth, reflection totally missing.
Simply, spastically spouting off random BULL , with no idea of where he's been or where's he's going.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/15/u...berg.html?_r=0President Trump plans to assign a New York billionaire to lead a broad review of American intelligence agencies, according to administration officials, an effort that members of the intelligence community fear could curtail their independence and reduce the flow of information that contradicts the president’s worldview.The possible role for Stephen A. Feinberg, a co-founder of Cerberus Capital Management, has met fierce resistance among intelligence officials already on edge because of the criticism the intelligence community has received from Mr. Trump during the campaign and since he became president.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/15/u...berg.html?_r=0Even the prospect that Mr. Feinberg may lead a review for the White House has raised concerns in the intelligence community.
Mr. Coats is especially angry at what he sees as a move by Mr. Bannon and Mr. Kushner to sideline him before he is even confirmed, according to current and former officials. He believes the review would impinge on a central part of his role as the director of national intelligence and fears that if Mr. Feinberg were working at the White House, he could quickly become a dominant voice on intelligence matters.
Michael V. Hayden, a retired general who ran the C.I.A. and the National Security Agency during President George W. Bush’s administration, said it was hard to wrap his head around “the idea of a D.N.I. nominee in the confirmation process while others consider retooling the position.”
I wouldn't call three Congressional investigations something big. I would call it a complicated CYA, plus grandstanding for the cameras.

I read 7 investigations, Repugs will neuter all of them
I was first with this. Me
Two days ago.
What did you say
I reported what that Faulkner woman on FOX said during an {Outnumbered} appearance. That they had something big and it was coming soon.
I was first. Me
Congrats cul. Looks like it's coming.
and Russia is close to turning on Trump
I don't hide my , Lakers, Trump, or, otherwise. That's my religion.
He was evasive in that NC on queries into the situation. So was Preibus yesterday. They have not come out and stated plainly that they're 100% pure. And it's easiest thing in the world to do if you are.
Just got to enjoy the days and pray that he hasn't ruined himself.
Robert Reich: We need answers to these 6 questions about Michael Flynn
1. Why didn’t Trump act sooner to fire Flynn?
He knew about Flynn’s contact with the Russian ambassador at least since January, when then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates notified the White House that Flynn had “put himself in a compromising position” with his phone call to the Russian ambassador.
2. What, if anything, did Trump authorize Michael Flynn to tell the Russians before the inauguration?
3. What other contacts did Flynn and other Trump aides have with Russia before the election?
U.S. intelligence reports show that Flynn was in touch with Russian ambassador Kislyak during the 2016 campaign, and that communications between the two continued after Nov. 8. The Russian ambassador has even confirmed having contacts with Flynn before and after the election, though he declined to say what was discussed.
4. Did Flynn or other Trump aides know of or cooperate with Russia in interfering in the 2016 election on Trump’s behalf?
5. If so, did Trump know about or encourage such cooperation?
These questions won’t go away. The FBI and the Senate Intelligence Community are investigating. Hopefully, investigative reporters are also on the case. Eventually, the truth will come out. As Richard Nixon learned, coverups in Washington just make things worse.
Which leads inevitably to the last question:
6. If Trump knew or encouraged this, will he be impeached?
