White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted from her official government account a “Mueller madness” bracket of reporters and prominent Democrats who Sanders claimed were most “embarrassingly wrong” about the Russia probe.
Mueller Madness! Which of the angry and hysterical @realDonaldTrump haters got it most embarrassingly wrong? #YouDecide pic.twitter.com/IkzUesDdub

Though this is one of the more extreme reactions, it’s in keeping with the administration’s tactic to use Attorney General William Barr’s summary to claim total exoneration for the President. Yet, the letter doesn’t fully exonerate Trump and the administration has still not seen the full report.
The White House has also been doubling down on its attacks on journalists, insisting that networks employ “basic journalistic standards” and either ban or question Democrats who have voiced opinions about evidence of the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian actors during the campaign.
The Assholes are getting cocky. (I was going to say that they were revolting, but that’s stating the obvious.)
Her tweet ait going to age well.
“The White House has also been doubling down on its attacks on journalists, insisting that networks employ “basic journalistic standards” and either ban or question Democrats who have voiced opinions about evidence of the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian actors during the campaign.”
So CNN played along and had Swalwell (Blitzer) and Blumenthal (AC360) on and both men again proved why ‘45’ shouldn’t be doing any victory laps.
Then Cuomo had Rudy Giuliani on and yeaaaaaaaa…
Tax payers money at work people.
You know who should be embarrassed if he wasn’t such a sick sociopath and compulsive liar? Anyone with an actual conscience would be.
Although I’d suspected it for some time now, today Glenn Greenwald revealed, for me at least, that he’s no longer the honest broker in fact and opinion that he either used to be, or that I at least thought he was, up till the Trump era. I say this because today he posted a piece on The Intercept, in which he declared that Barr’s 4 page summary of the Mueller report–which has not yet been released at all, even in part–proves once and for all that everyone who pushed the Trump-Russia Collusion story was not just wrong, but egregiously, massively and embarrassingly wrong–again, based not on the actual Mueller report, but on the 4 page summary of it by a lifelong GOP fixer and liar who is Trump’s new AG and has been on record for years as being opposed to the existence of the Mueller probe on both a lawful and factual basis, before having seen any of Mueller’s findings when he issued these opinions.
I’m only singling out Greenwald because his entire shtick is that he’s supposed to be unbiased and honest and basing his views entirely on known and complete facts, and a leading light of the “alt-left” (my term, perhaps a better one exists) that supposedly rejects both parties, when in demonstrable fact his definitive declaration of Trump’s innocence in this matter is NOT based on known and complete facts, namely the Mueller report along with other ongoing probes, but on the 4 page summary of a clearly biased GOP fixer (doesn’t mean that it’s not an accurate summary of the actual report, but the chances of that are nearly nil).
It’s so disappointing that someone who used to be on “our” side is now basically shilling for Trump and the GOP, and repeating the same basic talking points being spouted–in coordinated fashion, cough cough–as Fox Nuz and the rest of the well-oiled RWNM. I have no idea why he’s doing this–perhaps he literally lost his mind–but this is something I’d expect of Hannity or Pirro or the NY Post or any of those other liars, morons and crazies, not Greenwald. Orwellian doesn’t begin to describe it.
