[font size=3]Washington (CNN)—Seven days ago, The Washington Post reported that President Donald Trump had disclosed classified information to two top Russian officials in a meeting in Oval Office.
Try to remember every negative story that has come out between then and now.
A partial list: Trump's Tuesday morning tweets, the James Comey memo, asking Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence to leave the room, the appointment of Robert Mueller as special prosecutor, the "witch hunt" tweet, the Coast Guard commencement speech, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein telling senators he knew Trump was going to fire Comey, "No, No next question," Trump brags to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak that he fired Comney -- who he described as a "nut job" -- and -- big, deep breath -- White House lawyers preparing for impeachment proceedings.
…
What happens with Trump is that he is continually flooding the zone with news -- whether its his tweets, his public pronouncements or the amazing reporting going on about his administration. There are so many storylines -- Russia, Comey, staff drama, his Twitter account, to name a few -- that they all sort of blend together in one jumble, even for people who follow this stuff very closely.
