Trump stormed off and left staffers to clean up after Comey memo — and now they’re dreading his tweets

“Nobody knows where this really goes from here,” a White House official said. “Everyone is walking around saying, ‘What is next?'”

Top White House officials knew the bombshell report on the Comey memo was coming two hours before the New York Times posted it online, and the president angrily retreated to his residence upstairs within 75 minutes of the story going live.

That left aides to “figure out how bad the fallout was,” Politico reported, but without tape recordings or even a full readout of Trump’s conversation with Comey, which took place the day after Flynn resigned.

White House surrogates were reluctant to go on TV to defend the president because they weren’t sure what to say, and Fox News host Bret Baier complained Tuesday night that no Republicans were willing to go on camera to push back against the Comey memo.

Please elaborate.

5. The rats aren't leaving the ship just yet

but they sure are leaning across the rail, looking whistfully at the shore. Why his staffers don't resign and get real jobs is a mystery to me.

6. Well I saw the butcher of Central America (Negreponte) on CNN and wished that

he had watched Mica's timeline before he came on. He sounded really fucking stupid.
