PJ Ex-FBI Chief, Hoisted By His Own Petards

To those who still believe that President Trump is a big dummy, without a strategic bone in his body, I pose one question: If Trump had not fired James Comey how long would it have taken to find out that a) Trump was not the subject of any investigation b) there is no collusion c) there is no obstruction of justice.

And if Trump hadn’t sent out this tweet:

how different might James Comey’s testimony have been?

“The President tweeted on Friday, after I got fired, that I better hope there’s not tapes. I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night, because it didn’t dawn on me originally, that there might be corroboration for our conversation, there might be a tape. And my judgment was that I needed to get that out in the public square.”

Because I’m betting that when he “woke up in the middle of the night” to realize that “that there might be corroboration for our conversation” that  “I need to get that out in the public square” isn’t exactly the first thought that flashed through his head.

That moment pajama boy realizes he’s hoisted himself by his own petards

And for the record – you can bet your life there aren’t really any tapes.
