came up with this brilliant stunt. It had to be cooked up with tRump and a few of his enablers. Of course it backfired.

1. Not exactly, but there is reporting that the WH was in on it...

since there was a meeting between Trump and the Repub House leadership a couple of days ago.

More "no collusion."

2. Raw Story reported that he "knew", not necessarily that it was his idea.

But there was a meeting recently at the White House and Scalise attended. A guest on Deadline White House pointed out that Scalise, being one of the most powerful Repubs on Capitol Hill, would be unlikely to do something like this on his own. But that last point was just an opinion.

EDIT: Not sure the WH meeting was yesterday. Changed it to "recently."

4. Rule of law

You know, no decent person would break the law. This had to come from the person in the WH that has absolutely no regard for the rule of law!!

5. Of course he did, it has him written all over this.
