Even more important, Brzezinski and Scarborough raised a new, troubling allegation. Scarborough recounted that White House aides allegedly called him that to say that a negative story would run in the National Enquirer about them but if they called to apologize, Trump could have the story pulled. The president denied the charge in a tweet (what else?), claiming, Watched low rated Morning Joe for first time in long time. FAKE NEWS. He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show. Scarborough shot back, Yet another lie. I have texts from your top aides and phone records. Also, those records show I havent spoken with you in many months.
One cannot help but compare this to the dinner between Trump and then-FBI Director James B. Comey in which Comeys contemporaneous notes debunked the presidents claims that Comey wanted the dinner and Comey asked for his job. Comeys notes document that Trump invited him and then seemed to dangle Comeys job in front of him.
Do the allegations that the White House threatened two journalists with a potentially damaging story rise to the level of blackmail or extortion? Thats something for special prosecutor Robert S. Mueller III to consider. But if there is a paper trail as there was in Comeys case the plot thickens.
The presidents narcissistic impulses and complete unawareness of (or disregard for) legal and behavioral norms have become a running theme of his presidency. Whether they finally do him in handing law enforcement and/or political opponents the rope to hang him remains the ongoing story of the most peculiar presidency in our history

I have been on the tweet machine for 2-3 days. I have NO clue how to work it. I did read awhile ago, Mueller has already talked to them.
I think would be so weird, with all trump's horrific, Treasonous crimes, that misogyny tweets bring him down!
But I AM OK with THAT! WHATEVER it takes. Just take him DOWN! & make sure it TAKES! !
