    Trump’s Worst Tweet Ever

    Trump’s Worst Tweet Ever

    ALLAHPUNDITPosted at 11:21 am on September 4, 2018



    Not only is this his worst tweet to date, it’s so bad that it stands a solid chance of holding that title through the end of his presidency.

    Through the end of the year, for sure.

    Worst-case scenario: Through the end of the month. I think? Checking the calendar, I’m reminded it’s only September 4.

    If you want to tell me that his pre-political obsession with the Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart romance were his worst tweets ever, I won’t argue hard. But this, I think, is rock bottom:
    Donald J. Trump
    @realDonaldTrump

    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......
    2:25 PM - Sep 3, 2018




    Twitter Ads info and privacy

    He’s referring to Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter, both early Trump supporters among the House GOP and both of whom are now under federal indictment — not just under investigation by the DOJ, let me emphasize, but actually indicted by a federal grand jury.

    Said Ken White of yesterday’s tweet, “It is 100% outside his comprehension why this is bad.” Right, and literally no one else’s. That’s what makes it the worst ever. It made me laugh to see cable news networks inviting on legal experts last night and this morning to explain the problem with the tweet to viewers, as if it requires elite analysis. If you can’t grasp why the head of the executive branch shouldn’t be faulting the DOJ for not giving members of his party a free pass on suspected criminal activity then you must have missed an important day at school during second grade. He should be censured by Congress for it, but luckily for him, they seem to have missed a bunch of days in second grade too.

    Ben Sasse knows banana-Republicanism when he sees it:

    “The United States is not some banana republic with a two-tiered system of justice – one for the majority party and one for the minority party. These two men have been charged with crimes because of evidence, not because of who the President was when the investigations began. Instead of commenting on ongoing investigations and prosecutions, the job of the President of the United States is to defend the Constitution and protect the impartial administration of justice.”


    He must have had perfect attendance when he was in second grade. Axios is hearing concern from other officials — on background, of course:

    A senior Justice Department official said: “It was a very concerning tweet. It shows how POTUS thinks DOJ should be used: As a weapon against enemies and a tool to win elections.”

    Referring to the two congressional indictments, the official said: “Both cases are not even close, the facts are very bad.”

    One of Washington’s most respected Republican lawyers said: “Like everything else, he shoots first and then asks questions later. So in his … mind he thinks he can find someone to take the job who will be confirmable and rein in Mueller. So he’ll force out Sessions and then find there’s no one who will take the job who the Senate Republicans can support.”

    Right. It’s not just that the tweet is a civic disaster, it’s not just that it’s more evidence for Mueller on a silver platter of Trump’s inclinations to obstruct justice, it’s that it’ll make it that much harder for him to get Sessions’s eventual successor through even a Republican-controlled Senate. His Fox News pals keep egging him on to drop the axe but what would he gain by doing that at this point? He’s not going to get a crony confirmed after this, now that he’s made clear that he wants a hack as Attorney General who’ll not only protect him from Russiagate but will protect any crony — even when probable cause of a crime exists — so long as Trump stands to benefit from it somehow.

    But like White says, all of this is entirely outside his comprehension. Imagine his surprise yesterday when John Kelly or Sarah Sanders or whoever tried explaining to him why “The law shouldn’t be enforced against my friends or my party” is bad. A Twitter pal suggested that, at the very least, someone in the White House who’s on their way out anyway, like Don McGahn, should have resigned in protest over it. I don’t think McGahn will do that right now just because his great project, adding another conservative to the Supreme Court, momentarily hangs in the balance. But once Kavanaugh is confirmed? Yeah, we might see McGahn walk then.

    And even if he doesn’t, this isn’t over. Even if Kelly/Sanders succeeded in convincing POTUS that he should try to sound slightly less like a caudillo/mafia boss in his tweets, he still retains the pardon power. All indications lately in the media are that he intends to use it at some point to free Paul Manafort, probably after the midterms and knowing full well that state prosecutors are waiting to pounce if he does. If he’s willing to spring Manafort, a man who’s actually been convicted, for no better reason than that he’s a crony then he’s probably willing to spring Collins and Hunter too. It’s quite probable that a top story following the midterms this winter will be the president handing out pardon-candy to multiple buddies who have either been indicted, been convicted, or pleaded out (Mike Flynn). What do congressional Republicans do then, particularly if they’ve just been hit by a blue wave and no longer have as much faith in Trump’s electoral invincibility as they once did?

    Sasse: “The United States Is Not Some Banana Republic”


    U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement regarding the President’s attack on the Department of Justice for indicting two Republican congressmen.

    “The United States is not some banana republic with a two-tiered system of justice – one for the majority party and one for the minority party. These two men have been charged with crimes because of evidence, not because of who the President was when the investigations began. Instead of commenting on ongoing investigations and prosecutions, the job of the President of the United States is to defend the Constitution and protect the impartial administration of justice.”

    Oh my goodness, Trump was right to tweet that. Don't you remember the big shenanigans during the 2016 election about the DOJ and FBI "policy" about not saying or doing anything by DOJ against Hillary or other politicians close to an election, so as not to impact the outcome of the election? That's what Trump is referring to here.

    What now? One policy to protect DemoQuacks, another for Republicans? The attorneys in the DOJ timed these indictments specifically to smear Hunter and Collins during their general election campaign to help DemoQuacks in the mid-terms. Hunter says his issues have already been resolved and the money that was mishandled was paid back, every dime. Collins says he didn't trade or sell any stock as a result of the early information he received. If someone else did from information they got from him, then they should be prosecuted, not Collins. Campaigns misuse campaign funds all the time, it's innocent, mistakes, or temporary liberties, where they pay it back, and maybe get a fine by FEC. They don't get prosecucted by the DOJ, they don't have political or other careers ruined by federal grand jury indictments.

    So where is the crime? What is the purpose of these prosecutions? Why is a non-crime in the Collins case resulting in a federal prosecution? Why is a civil violation like misuse of campaign funds that's been paid back years ago, being prosecuted by the DOJ instead leaving itresolved, corrected and fined if that was appropriate by the FEC years ago??!!

    POLITICAL WITCH HUNTS, that's why. There is no other reason.

    Hmm, so the accused is always innocent, assuming they are Republican? That's such B.S. I like Hunter, but if he and Collins are guilty, they need to be held to account. Most corrupt politicians initially claim they're innocent. This investigation has been going on for some time now, it's just now coming to a head. We'll see what happens.

    As for Trump, he is most definitely in the wrong with his constant public attacks on Sessions, including this one. What Trump doesn't realize is these attacks he's making are damaging to his administration. To me and many others it makes him come of as a cry-baby whiner. He needs to buck up, shut up, and do his job and quit with all the distracting white noise. As I've said in the past, I don't believe he is guilty of Russian collusion but his attitude and demeanor are certainly beginning to make me think he is hiding something he's afraid will be revealed. No, I'm not talking about minimal distractions like the Smokey Daniel's payoff and other such things like his admitted enjoyment of grabbing women's crotches because he feel his financial station in life allows him to. Yep, I'm suggesting there might be a big ole femur bone hiding in his closet and maybe even in the closets of some of his family members. Why else would he be trying so hard to take the attention of himself and his family? Well, it's not working, he's only drawing more attention to himself with his antics.

    Trump needs to keep on doing exactly what he's doing, exposing at every turn the deep corruption and bias in the US DOJ, along with everything else he is exposing and fixing. Targeting any candidate for office this close to the mid-terms is a violation of DOJ policy.

    Nothing Trump does is damaging to his administration or anything else. He tells it like it is.

    You're not a well-minded person in my opinion. It's not about him or his family, it's about relations with Russia with regards to the "Russia" probe, and it's about winning the mid-terms with regards to Collins and Hunter. It's about having the votes to pass laws and secure funding he wants to fix our country. It's also about doing right by our citizens who should be treated properly whether they're Republicans or Democrats, whether they voted for Hillary or Trump, whether they worked for the Trump campaign or the the Hillary campaign. It's about Justice, and stopping all these stupid vile political witch hunts against innocent Americans, simply because they're Republicans or supported or worked for Donald Trump. What's going on is disgusting and repugnant.

    You can't even get the crotch-grab story right. He never said he did that, he said when you're a star you can do that, referring to Hollywood.

    It means I don't think you're fair-minded, open-minded or well-rounded and questioning in your approach to authority. Just my opinion from reading your posts all these years.

    I would strongly disagree in regards to being fair-minded. Actually, I consider myself very fair-minded when compared to you who I consider narrow-minded. As for being open minded, I'm a staunch conservative, so maybe I'm not what some would consider extremely open-minded, especially on social issues. On approach to authority, not sure what you mean.

    Above all else, I do consider myself honest, sincere, and straight-forward. What you see is what you get.

    No! But apply the same standard to Democrats.

    I am disturbed that Hunter can't seem to balance his own checking account. And these are the people who can't seem to budget the government?
