One thing that SCROTUS knows how to do and that is make the media scramble like roaches

for non-news. We can barely get an investigation on the russian/trump ties and yet there are calls this morning for an investigation of an allegation he pulled out of his butt. Geeeeeez! You can't make this stuff up. I can't wait for the movie.

Whenever he's in trouble he starts a "hey...look over there" game. And our media laps it up. The real story here is, as everyone said, his attempt to divert attention from the Russian connections. This is him trying to discredit the source before the content becomes knows. Because you know if there are taps, there are transcripts. Either he wandered into a conversation with someone who was being tapped or some other government tapped him - either way, there are transcripts and they're going to a great read someday soon.

Continue to filter out the obvious attempt to deflect from the trump/Russia connection - just the facts - and this will take time..hopefully not as long as Watergate...all the pieces will come together...

Newsweek has story today by John Walters -as Walters writes..eerie similarities with Watergate as he uses the movie All The Presidents Men - the script is uncanny...

after all the kerfuffle and nonsense of the day
dies down, he's still faced with his Russia conspiracy.
He won't shake that. No way. Oh and the taxes.
Every day, another damning piece of evidence.
Drip drip drip. Take that, Trump.
