GMA this morning had a well done segment about the Susan Rice Story.

It was stated that the president made another fact free claim about Rice committing a crime. The panel said Trump shouldn't say anything unless he was willing to show some proof, not just say I'll show you later. Further discussion stated that asking for identities was routine and part of the job, and the panel agreed they shouldn't even be discussing criminal aspects of the story as there was nothing to discuss.

I was pleased and surprised to watch the exchange. The panel was George Stephanolpolis, Mathew Dowd, and another name I forget.

All democrats asked about this should use those words.

Susan Rice was slandered

President Obama was libeled

Both by the most powerful man in the free world.

It is heartening to hear that the media is pushing back against the groundless claim that the unmasking was improper.

BLOTUS is an out of control liar with a big mouth and his constant spouting of conspiracy bullshit.
He is a cornered rat who desperately wants to divert attention away from his treasonous misdeeds and collusion.
He needs to be removed from office and imprisoned...NOW.
