(45,003 posts)He seemed to be reading between the lines of Trump's media attacks. Who knows if there's something scandalous about to hit. But no one would be surprised. Which says all you need to know about this jackass of a President.

(13,933 posts)Several people, including David Frum, speculated that there must be a big story coming if trump was trying to discredit the media again (Frum indicated he was speculating by saying he was "decoding" Trump's tweet, but a lot of people seemed to have missed that and thought he was claiming a big story was about to drop)

Although "insane blathering" would decode pretty good, too.

Frum's tweet said he'd "confirmed" that "one or more of NYT, CNN or NBCNews has a very very damaging story in the pipeline
"
As senior editor for The Atlantic, I highly doubt he'd just throw that out as supposition.
Army Secretary withdrew. Navy Secretary withdrawing. First National Security Advisor resigned. Two potential replacements withdrew. I think it is more than dysfunction that is keeping them away. All nominees have ties to the IC and probably know what is coming down. Just a guess, but in light of Reuters article today on the FBI investigations, it makes sense. Also hard to think that the FBI is going to just left Flynn go without a fight. Based on what's in the Reuters article, seems to me they'd obv want to squeeze him for all they can get. But hey, what do I know.
Also little Twitter droplets about White House & porn (also involving Russia). Eichenwald hitting porn sites for his report, etc.
