Those sources said Trump didnt believe Flynn should be under investigation in the first place.
Trump feels really, really, really, bad about firing him, and he genuinely thinks if the investigation is over Flynn can come back, said one White House official.
One former FBI official and a second government official said Trump thought he owed Flynn for how things ended up and was determined to clear Flynns name and bring him back to the White House.

and then clicked on this thread, and once again had to ask myself if this was satire...because honestly, it is very hard to tell the difference between what comes out of the WH and Borowitz, not to mention the late night comics.
I know this is not the first time anyone has made this observation, but it seems to me it has been getting steadily more the case as the wheels keep getting looser. Are others finding the same?

(7,540 posts)Remember the stories about how the staff have to subtly keep the "bad news" away from him to avoid him having a tantrum and shutting down altogether. He doesn't (allegedly) watch "fake" news very often, so he may not be realizing how poisonously Flynn is regarded.
His legal issues have been nonstop on MSNBC and CNN. If he's tuned to Fox primarily, he probably thinks everything is hunky-dory and that this *will* all blow over.

(5,706 posts)For example, I'm not sure how many "reallys" are in a "bigly". On the other hand, I would bet that the gropenfuhrer has never been sorry for anything in his life. Not even one "really".

(50,590 posts)There's 10 "reallys" in one "bigly," and 10 "biglys" in one "yooge."
