I saw her on The View. She's truly an unlikable, bristly, thin skinned person. She lies, too, like the rest of them. She interrupted one of the panelists who mentioned Trump making fun of the disabled reporter; she wouldn't let her finish, saying something like "Yeah, yeah, if you say it over and over enough, people will believe that." She was denying he made fun of a disabled reporter, when he did it on national television, and there's VIDEO of it?

The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?

Of course drumpf knew about this before FBI briefed him, he and Flynn discussed this in advance. Flynn wouldn't go out on a limb like that without Hair Furor's approval or even orders.

Otherwise, when convenient, he'd "forget" and vociferously deny being told information given to him at previous meetings.

Things work a little differently when you're a "so-called" president.

One thing about him, he's had to negotiate RWnuts, fundies and billionaires before his new job at the WH so at least he has some experience. The rest are amateur hour incompetents.

Doesn't seem to bother the Rs though. They consider lying to advance R policies just par for the course. If they told the truth about themselves, they'd all be out on their asses. (Even though 39% of the US idiocracy would still support them.)
