Morning Tweet storm: Trump feels the walls closing in on him as he watches Fox and Friends

When you hear the Fake News talking negatively about my meeting with President Putin, and all that I gave up, remember, I gave up NOTHING, we merely talked about future benefits for both countries. Also, we got along very well, which is a good thing, except for the Corrupt Media!

.....”Carter Page wasn’t a spy, wasn’t an agent of the Russians - he would have cooperated with the FBI. It was a fraud and a hoax designed to target Trump.” Tom Fitton @JudicialWatch A disgrace to America. They should drop the discredited Mueller Witch Hunt now!

....and the DOJ, FBI and Obama Gang need to be held to account. Source #1 was the major source. Avoided talking about it being the Clinton campaign behind it. Misled the Court to provide a pretext to SPY on the Trump Team. Not about Carter Page..was all about getting Trump.....

So we now find out that it was indeed the unverified and Fake Dirty Dossier, that was paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC, that was knowingly & falsely submitted to FISA and which was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited Mueller Witch Hunt!

Tom Fitton on @foxandfriends at 6:15 A.M. NOW! Judicial Watch.

******
I wonder if he even knows that J.W. is the real "fake news?"

Vince Foster conspiracy (wiki)
Judicial Watch helped stir the conspiracy theory that Vince Foster was murdered by the Clintons.

the Cohen trial, too. Nothing on the economic front is working like he thought.

Trump has lost control, his tweeting is his pathetic attempt to grab control of the narrative. Eventually, it will stop working.

He thinks he can game anything, but his game is running out. I just hope they can keep the nuke codes away from him when the final meltdown happens.

Michael Cohen has not been charged with any crimes.

Otherwise, I completely agree with your observations about Trump.

Cohen will be charged OR he'll cut a deal for his cooperation.

Actually, for the sake of the country, we need to call Putin a liar every time he says Trump gave something up. You don't allow our diplomats? We don't acknowledge any agreements.

13. The Trumpster is flailing . . .
Mon Jul 23, 2018, 09:58 AM

in all directions because he has nowhere to run. Manafort's trial begins this week, the Helsinki Summit was a debacle and the FISA reveal indicates that the FBI went through proper, legal channels to open surveillance on Carter Page, the misfit agent of influence. In addition, we have Russian intelligence officers identified in the 2016 election hack and Mariia Butina, Russian femme fatale, was arrested and indicted after sleeping and spying her way through the NRA and more than willing GOP.

Maybe even more disastrous from the Trumpster's point of view is that his polling is going south and Republican members are beginning to speak out. Rubio has sided with the FBI on the FISA warrant, Trey Gowdy has suggested Trumpster advisors resign en masse, Whitman, 2-time Governor of NJ, writes a scathing op-ed regarding the man's unfitness and the general public is slowly realizing that Russia did, in fact, interfere in our election.

So what does The Donald do? He dives into panic tweeting and threatens war with Iran.

Btw, I read yesterday that he was furious because Kim Jong un will not return his phone calls and has reneged on their handshake agreement regarding denuclearization.

The Trumpster is toast and he knows it. Nowhere to run.

but in their minds, there's absolutely no chance that Trump's crew had a similar conspiracy going to steal for the traitor. Alas, projection.

I want a new chief executive, just as soon as possible. Waiting around for a police state to be imposed is not an item on my bucket list. And a police state is exactly what we're facing. Democrats had better get rid of these pissy little internal squabbles and start taking back control of things with the mid-terms---because the alternative will be very, very unpleasant.

One thing in the dossier that has been proven true is that China
