Today’s tweet by President Donald Trump, threatening fired FBI Director James Comey with “tapes” if he were to talk to the press, was seen by a former FBI Special Agent as not just a threat to Comey, but a signal to every employee in the federal government.

Former FBI Special Agent Clint Watts told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, “the signal to everybody in the US government is you’d better watch your back and you’d better cover yourself.”

The former FBI agent seemed genuinely concerned with the chaos within the White House.

“He’s obviously not working right now or in charge, he’s sitting watching TV and tweeting,” Watts said. “Who is in charge of this country?”

4. If we face a national emergency of any kind, natural or man made, we will be fucked

because he will either botch the response or purposely fuck us all over.

He is an idiot, and he is still supported by about 50 million other idiots.


All especially frustrating for me as I know to a certainty on the ground russian agents hacked voting machines.

12. I think leadership is a tug of war between Bannon and Kushner.

I think Comey's removal was likely Kushner since he can lose big given his past activities. Recent signals indicate that Kushner has gained the upper hand, for example, climate change not immediately being reversed, more favorable view toward trade.
