I'm not going to post any of the WaPo piece here. The irony is that Thiessen claims the Anti-Trump faction is scrambling around Mueller's 9 minutes, looking for ways to indict Trump, while Trump is scrambling around looking for people like Thiessen to echo his "No collusion, no obstruction" chorus.Which brings us once again to the idea that if he's so fully exonerated, why won't he STFU?

.@marcthiessen is a failed Bush speechwriter whose work was so bad that he has never been able to make a comeback. A third rate talent!

There's a tweet from shithole, where he calls himself a shithole, for literally every occasion.

Think about the last time anyone had anything to say about him on DU.
Mission Accomplished, Marc.
Same for Lindsey Graham. Yes, because of his various positions in the Senate, he has been more commonly discussed. But not on such a regular basis. He's playing a foolhardy card, based fully on not only a second term for Trump but also the MAGAts carrying him to re-election, and then perhaps a greater role in Trump's administration should that happen.
Selling one's soul is still a role of the dice, but the soul is still the price.
