"Yeah, It's Just Wednesday"

The nation’s Director of National Intelligence thought that the president of the United States was likely compromised by a hostile foreign power.

In the era of @realDonaldTrump, we call this Wednesday. https://t.co/98bx8qbwjd

.@PressSec: You're telling me something that was allegedly said.@GeoffRBennett: "It's on tape, Kayleigh."

.@PressSec just now: "The president never downplayed the virus."

Trump to Woodward in March: "I wanted to always pay it down."

This is catastrophic + it is all on tape. @realDonaldTrump KNEW how deadly the virus was — he cost American lives “downplaying it”. He admits this on tape. 200 thousand dead while he downplayed it. He lied 2 the American people and then was stupid enough to admit this to Woodward

1972-1974: Woodward reports on Watergate, Nixon makes his own tapes which then lead to his downfall

2020: Trump just lets Woodward make the tapes https://t.co/8G9xKu7Dfs

He should resign. Period. If not, House should impeach yet again. I'm serious

As I’ve said repeatedly, virtually everyone with half a brain and a fraction of a conscience in the Administration felt this way about the President. The dam is breaking. https://t.co/oOvAAQiRde

A complete, utter, shameful, bald-faced lie about a matter literally of life and death. https://t.co/2tTFlnQZNL

I'm old enough to remember Ron Ziegler saying "That statement is no longer operative," and we thought he was the worst Press Secretary (Nixon's) possible.  Well, we thought Nixon's former AG was the worst possible, too.  Wrong on both counts.  You shouldn't live so long as to see that.

Wait. I thought he held it because he had a deal with sources that anything they told him would be held for the book. I’d have disagreed, but that made sense. This interview is a muddle that clears up nothing. https://t.co/0Hw6L9cWDo

I still agree with Charlie Pierce, but journalistic ethics (an oxymoron in the best of circumstances) will have to wait its turn.

“Part of it is the mystery. Part it is the viciousness. You know when it attacks it attacks the lungs. And I don’t know — when people get hit, when they get hit, and now it’s turning out it’s not just old people, Bob.” https://t.co/DUzEM6wBUe

After what he's said about college football, he should burn in hell.  Wednesday or not, the man is a monster.  As Carl Bernstein pointed out, nobody died because of Watergate.

Yeah, it’s just Wednesday. https://t.co/tmykDtOq2c
