I donno man, this one is pretty egregious.
In an attempt to cover for the president, his press secretary made up a lie that she had communicated with MANY FBI officials personally saying they agreed. This was an attempt to boost PR regarding a potential Trump legal situation, and the press secretary now directly admitted to lying in order to help the president garner support to justify possibly ending the investigation. When you add that together when the multiple officials he tasked with trying to help him end it, and their refusals, this isn’t good.
This goes beyond just lying about inauguration numbers, or whether Trump golfed on a certain day.
I’ve never called for impeachment of Trump, nor have I spent any time crying COLLUSION!!!, nor criminal charges, nor forcible removable from office (except by election), but I’m honestly surprised to see an absolute refusal from Trump’s supporters to condemn any of this.
For whatever reason-inexperience, ignorance, stupidity, petulance, corruption-Trump has engaged in some uncouth, unsavory, dishonest, unethical, and potentially illegal behavior regarding all of this. He, and some of his administration, have done some things NONE of us should justify, but here we are watching people not just accept but JUSTIFY this behavior, and look the other way. Some even love him for it.
It’s remarkable to see where we’re at right now-where rabid partisans believe “their” politicians to be infallible and immune from all criticism. Whether you believe Trump should be removed/impeached/etc., this report, and the dishonest sycophancy of people like Sanders-Huckabee, provide plenty of reason for ANYONE to at least recognize the bad behavior coming from this administration, but some can’t even bring themselves do that because ( R ).
