Fake fricking news
this echo chamber is actually entertaining at times. anything you don't like is instantly branded "fake" 100 percent of the time.

these things dont happen overnight, it takes time to build a case of this magnitude, something the united states has never seen before (and mueller has time so why not use it), but it is happening.

you can close your eyes and plug your ears and stomp your feet, but it wont stop whats coming.

dread it.

run from it.

destiny still arrives.

The fricking Times can't even verify it themselves. We heard from some sources who heard it from someone else. It's secondhand gossip. But hey if it shits on the president, that's a good enough journalistic standard!

WaPo now reporting

quote:

President Trump sought the firing of Robert S. Mueller III last June, shortly after the special counsel took over the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and he backed off only after White House Counsel Donald F. McGahn threatened to resign over the move.

The extraordinary showdown was confirmed by two people familiar with the episode, which was first reported by the New York Times.

McGahn did not deliver his resignation threat directly to Trump, but was serious about his threat to leave, according to a person familiar with the episode.

Sounds a lot like the Wray story last week. And nice recall of the Ruddy story.

Wait, your serious? You think Wapo corroborating NY times validated them? Maybe the cuck news network and PMSNBC will pick it up to really drive the point Home.

So McGahn doesn't even tell Trump his threat directly and yet we're supposed to believe that one of the most bullheaded men on the planet backs down from firing Mueller because of that? The MSM has portrayed Trump up to this point as a man who is reckless and doesn't listen. How does that portrayal fit with these unprovable allegations?

the President of the United States tried to fire the special prosecutor that he signed off on, that his cabinet appointed, because he didn't like what was being found.

These White House reporters know all the logical would-be sources. When a big story breaks during a reporting war like between the Times and the Post on this story, they speed dial to confirm.

It is a nothingburger that uses anonymous sources for something that did not even happen and you all are jumping on it. Damn, the stupidity is strong on this one.

No, you’re embarrassment is already here. We know it. Sadly, you and Decatur are the only ones that don’t.
