"We give staffers access to Trump's account" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

1. So it could be Steve Bannon?

He has big access being a good old fellow Epstein island visitor and all.

2. Because they will claim to be only following orders and tripping all over themselves to plead out and testify against.

3. Funny how it's always racist stuff they 'accidentally' post and not "I endorse gay marriage" or "Google 'Ryazan 1999'"

4. Does it ever stop..................

always someone else, never him. I call bullshit.

5. So a lowly staffer was posting racist shit on the POTUS account at 2:40 AM? Right.

Fuck off! Trump posted it and he’s a racist!

Repeat this a zillion times. It’s easy for voters to understand.

And take out on ALL Republicans in November!

6. Easy/obvious follow up to their scape-goating: "okay then, what OTHER DUTIES do you

allow this staffer to perform? What else are they doing, what other power and responsibilities have you entrusted this person with?"

7. Never takes responsibility

When I was in the military they sent me to NCO leadership school. Taught us we also are responsible for what the people under us do in their official duties. Even though they are saying a staffer did this it was on Trumps account and he is responsible for the content. But then knowing him he will not take responsibility for anything.

8. The buck stops nowhere:

The Buck, along with the Presidential BS Cannon, are in a state of perpetual motion.
