This latest tweet about Comey et al not getting arrested seems to follow a pattern. The tweet brings up old stuff, old news, that people were upset about, as if to re-ignite the anger. All the stuff on Benghazi, the stuff on Hillary, still comes up.
It's like turning a conversation or a call-out around to distract from the subject and avoid "fault:"
"You forgot to call and tell me you weren't coming."
"Yeah, well, last year you forgot to put the dishes away twice."
Some people seem to have a knack for doing this, and others seem to have a knack for falling for it.

(8,231 posts)Let's see 'how excited' his stupid base can get over Benghazi and Lisa Page..I mean LOL. Without new info or new lies they have NOTHING to work with which brings me to:
They have no coherent defense. Been throwing shit out since the beginning and trying to cobble it together. Well it's not working and that is their main problem.

Some of this is probably very cynical, but much of it is nonstop self-brainwashing.
