WH scrambles, Roger Stone says indict Obama

Always Obama - oh and Susan Rice, James Clapper, and John Brennan too. Does anyone else think Roger Stone is just creepy? I mean really, a tattoo of Nixon on his back?

Inside the White House scramble on the Trump Jr. emails

On the leaker:

Many of our White House sources are playing amateur detective, some with whackier theories than others, and some of which turn on people within the White House. Suspicion spread between people who worked in campaign and in White House, and while no one we've spoken to has any evidence to support their theories, it's not stopping them from speculating.

On the pushback:

There's an emerging strategy to turn this back around on the Democrats.

An extreme example of this approach is Roger Stone, who texted Axios: "The president can turn the tables and dominate the dialogue by ordering the indictment of [James] Clapper, [John] Brennan, [Susan] Rice and [former president Barack] Obama for the wholesale unconstitutional surveillance of Americans... I would seriously arrest [and] perp walk every one of these criminals, making as big a show of it as possible."
