White House officials suspect each other of wearing wires for Mueller

[muriel_volestrangler]

In the NYT, via TPM:

Tension between the two comes as life in the White House is shadowed by the investigation. Not only do Mr. Trump, Mr. Kushner and Mr. McGahn all have lawyers, but so do other senior officials. The uncertainty has grown to the point that White House officials privately express fear that colleagues may be wearing a wire to surreptitiously record conversations for Mr. Mueller.

After this finally comes crashing down, the material for exposes, documentaries, drama-docs and screenplays is going to be immense.

1. "JFK", "Frost/Nixon"... At least we will get a good movie out of Trump's presidency.

[bigbrother05]

25. More along the line of the "Police Academy" farces

All they'll have to do is pick people to read the tape transcripts.

[Achilleaze]

2. KGOPers ratting out KGOPers

Good for America. Bad for republican and russian comrades.

30. Yeah pretty soon they'll probably want to strip search each other...

...please do not visualize that either.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

3. So after we live thru this sh*t...

We will get to live it again for the rest of our lives over and over and over. Like a recurring nightmare.
On the brighter side...at least we'll have a choice then.

"Twitterpocalypse", The Thumb Never Rests. Coming soon to a theater near you.

[Scarsdale]

4. Good. I hope none of them

sleep peacefully. They are traitors to the country, backing this orange ass. When the shows about this come out, people will be ashamed that this clown was installed in the WH by Russian money. He has demeaned the office of the president. He is a shit-show of epic proportions. The gop will never recover from this fiasco, nor should they. Traitors, every last one of them.

33. I agree that most are traitors, but I think they have no shame.

6. Ken Burns is salivating.

Trump and the Age of Incompetence. Or perhaps simply "The Second Civil War."

[MariaCSR]

28. LOL

[WePurrsevere]

8. Ha! Good! As tensions rise someone's bond to...

Snap and spill sooner vs later to cover their own ass.

9. Paranoia gonna get you.

19. "Paranoia strikes deep...."

"Into your lives it will creep,
Starts when you're always afraid,
Step out of line, the Man comes and takes you a-way...."

(Thank you, Stephen Stills/Buffalo Springfield!) . . .

35. I had that in my head, just couldn't get the words right.

10. Suspicious minds..............

We're caught in a trap...........

11. 2 scenarios...one question:

1) One guy lives around a bunch of child-pimping drug-dealing scum. He wants the neighborhood cleaned up pronto. he is disgusted by what he sees. He suspects a particular "customer" may be wearing a wire.

2) Another guy is a child-pimping drug-dealing scum. He suspects a particular "customer" may be wearing a wire.

Question: Which of these two guys is worried about the guy wearing a wire?

[Laxman]

12. This Is So Interesting.....

on several levels. The first is the sheer enjoyment of their discomfort. To quote the late John Houseman-"they EARNED it". Second is, if true, anyone wearing a wire has flipped and given enough of a factual basis for Mueller to send them out to earn a deal with information. Finally, who the hell leaked this to the Times?

[JNelson6563]

13. Things are progressing well at the Spitehouse, eh?

Well good. I hope they are shitting themselves. Just heard on Twitter Feinstein has stated Don Jr will be expected to testify publicly. lol Good stuff.

[FakeNoose]

23. Yes and it's no coincidence that Bannon just left

Don't ever assume Bannon isn't a perp. He's always in the middle of it, trying to maneuver everybody.
That guy is evil, the rest are just stupid.

[C_U_L8R]

14. Just because you're paranoid

doesn't mean they aren't out to get ya.


(paraphrasing Joseph Heller in Catch 22)

15. There are going to be some incredible books to read about this administration when it's all over

[Kaleva]

31. Scaramucci is writing a tell-all paragraph

[SeattleVet]

32. ...and for the tRump voters...

maybe even a couple that they can color in!

[Deb]

16. wires?

A historic term from the connected Family but still a very beautiful thing. Mondays are great again.

[Nitram]

17. LOL

[NewJeffCT]

18. It's true

everything is tapped - the microwaves, the lamps, the chairs, tables, the staff, etc. The paintings have hidden cameras cleverly disguised as eyes, every potted plant has microphones concealed under the leaves. The carpets have sensors woven into them that can tell who is present. The Martians who run the sex slave colony use the HVAC system to scurry around the White House and snatch unsuspecting persons who are then transported to Mars. But, the Martians also use the system to spread drugs through the interior air of the building and persons under the influence of these drugs report all they have seen and heard back to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. See, Obama wasn't really born in Kenya, he was born on Mars and is plotting world dominance.

[L. Coyote]

20. A real "We are the criminals" mindset in our White House. Frightening.

[ehrnst]

21. DT always liked to foment chaos and distrust among his underlings. He's got it now. (nt)

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Patriots serving in government should have no problem with LE means

This is about a lack of patriots, nothing but treasonous usurpers

[Sunlei]

24. don't know why Republicans lawyers spread this crap- some kind of trick.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. The SNL skit practically writes itself.

Boy do I wish I was a writer on SNL about now.

[ecstatic]

27. LOL! That is hilarious, and I suspect it's because they're all

guilty: Person A suddenly wants to discuss an event from the past with Person B, an event that Person A already knows the details of, but yet, wants Person B to rehash.

[Phoenix61]

29. Oh what a tangled web we weave

when first we practice to deceive. Serves their lying, traitorous, asses right. The best part of this is that when people get paranoid they get sloppy. I think Malcom Nance called it "twitchy." Makes me wonder if this is just a tactic to turn up the heat on them. Make someone a little more willing to flip.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. This could turn into a nightmare scenario

like what if they stop wearing clothes

[yellowcanine]

36. Obviously they all need to come to work buck nekkid.

37. Not enough eye bleach on Earth for that.
