Bob Marley once famously said, "...music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."
But when reality crashes through the lies you put up around you? Oh yeah, that leaves a mark.Just watched the totally biased and fake news reports of the so-called Russia story on NBC and ABC. Such dishonesty!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 23, 2017
With the Republicans in Congress scrambling to come up with a bill evil enough for the Freedom Caucus to approve of replacing ObamaCare with TaxCutCare, Trump has been busy watching the news media finally starting to understand that they don't have to put up with the lies any longer.
That has left Trump and his allies in a constant stupor. Take for example, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. Nunes made veiled references to a piece of intelligence on the Trump surveillance investigation that would shake the country to its core, but then refused to say what it was, instead saying he shared it with the White House. When questioned by the media, Nunes crumbled. He first said it wasn't pertinent to the Trump case before shifting to saying it was pertinent.
Whether or not Nunes steps down, it may be too late for Trump. Notorious softballer Chuck Todd had Ranking Democrat Adam Schiff on Meet the Press and asked him to comment on the state of the investigation. Instantly Old Ben became Obi-Wan Kenobi:
The walls are closing in. And Trump's only hope at this point in time is the evidence connecting him to Putin starts and stops with this guy:Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the Ranking Member on the committee, was asked by Chuck Todd on "Meet The Press Daily" whether or not he only has a circumstantial case."Actually no, Chuck," he said. "I can tell you that the case is more than that and I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now."Questioned whether or not he has seen direct evidence of collusion, Schiff responded, "I don't want to get into specifics but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of an investigation."That is a shift from Sunday's "Meet the Press" interview, when Schiff only went as far as to say that there was circumstantial evidence of collusion and "direct evidence" of deception.
I wouldn't bet on it.
Catch you on the flip side.
