Trump: "There probably wasn't an informant. Maybe the whistleblower's informant was Schiff!"



In his latest attack on the whistleblower who filed a complaint about him abusing his office to push the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump suggested that neither the whistleblower nor their informants deserved protection under the law.

“I happen to think there probably wasn’t an informant,” the president said, without providing any evidence. “You know, the informant went to the whistleblower, the whistleblower had, you know, second-and-third-hand information… So was there actually an informant? Maybe the informant was Schiff!”

His thought patterns must resemble Billy's path home from school in The Family Circus.

I know exactly what he’d tell you, lies. He was no different from any other officer in the ward room, they were all disloyal. I tried to run the ship properly, by the book, but they fought me at every turn. The crew wanted to walk around with their shirt tails hanging out, that’s all right, let them. Take the tow line, defective equipment, no more, no less. But they encouraged the crew to go around scoffing at me, and spreading wild rumors about steaming in circles and then old yellow strain. I was to blame for Lt. Maryk’s incompetence and poor seamanship. Lt. Maryk was the perfect officer, but not Captain Queeg. Ah, but the strawberries, that’s, that’s where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the ward room icebox did exist, and I’ve had produced that key if they hadn’t pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer. … Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I’ll be glad to answer them, one by one.

He's been moving this way for 2+years.

Just because he's crazy doesn't mean we aren't out to get him, it's self-preservation of our country/sanity.

It would be SO easy to get the President of the United States to believe anything he read on a message board if it were preceded by flattery or an excuse for his mistakes or behavior.

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

When you were a child you were treated kind
But you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night

He turned over the transcript.

If there was no whistleblower, that means he was tricked by Adam Schiff.

But, it doesn't matter now. They have his confession,
