3. Funny that he's trying to tie Comey's GOP-demanded testimony before HIC

In which he was mostly grilled by the Repubs about Hillary and her emails ... to some sort of Democratic Party attempt to find 'Russian Collusion' ... and that since Comey (apparently?) didn't testify to having direct evidence of 'collusion' ... that the Democrats hence 'failed'.

Depending once again on sheer credulousness and fantasy-world existence of his knuckle-dragging cult members when it comes to whatever BS dribbles from his tweeting fingers.

Also, this kinda bullshit is EXACTLY why Comey went before a judge to try to make this whole process public ... cause he KNEW what liars Trump and the GOP weasels are ... he KNEW they'd try to misrepresent and cherry-pick if the hearing took place in private, and SURE ENOUGH. We already have both the thief Issa, and Individual I doing that very thing ... SHOCKING.

6. That was yesterday's version of Trumpland reality

Today’s version is that it happened, but it’s private and therefore doesn’t matter.

Tomorrow’s reality in Trumpland may be different.

Besides, to him they're not payoffs, they're "simple private transactions".

Multiple, 6 figure, simple and private transactions made in an attempt to keep that limpwick he calls a pecker, appear dry to the pre-election press. Yep, Dry-wood Donnie's dinero's doing double deception dick duty.

14. It may have been simple, but as it violated federal law, it is certainly NOT private.

Weird how that works, right? You break the law and all of a sudden everyone thinks it is their business. Sheesh!!

Trump's unwillingness to learn rules and procedures has bitten him in the ass over and over again. In this he will never change, and it is part of his undoing.

15. Didn't Trump have to pay $25 million to conclude his Trump University private transactions?

I wonder if it had been someone else if some jail time wouldn't have been warranted?
