Great Tweetstorm from Repub never-Trumper Rick Wilson

[womanofthehills]

48. I definitely follow him on Twitter - Rick Wilson, Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor all came up

with the same intel a few weeks ago - all 3 from different intel sources. All three seem to be great Twitter friends always re-posting each others posts.

Remember: Louise was first and right on the initial FISA warrants. Claude was right on the EVDA etc.

"Rick Wilson is a national Republican political strategist and media consultant based in Florida who has produced television for governors, U.S. Senate candidates, super PACS, and corporations. He’s on Twitter at @therickwilson." Rick writes for the Daily Beast. Here is a recent article:

President Trump Just Can’t Help Himself

"This isn’t a White House turning the corner or getting its bearings in Washington—it’s a White House engaged in daily Downfall cosplay.
President Donald Trump can’t stop sticking his head in the noose. The last 10 days in Washington have been a singularity of Trump’s reckless, dangerous, lead-paint-and-cheap-vodka brain-damage style of governance. As he flailed from crisis to crisis, nothing said “You’ll be tired of all the winning” like a series of self-inflicted wounds to his political, legal, and presidential fate.

The firing of FBI Director James Comey was just the start of this latest chapter in the White House drama. Trump’s dissipated preppy consigliere Stephen Bannon, Wisconsin Cheese Board Deputy Director Reince Priebus, and Shifty Spice were all cut out of the loop. This

isn’t a White House turning the corner or getting its bearings in Washington—it’s a White House engaged in daily Downfall cosplay.

Their myriad stories, revisionist history, weapons-grade stupid talking points, midnight shrub-based press avails, and rolling Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ corn-pone “Aw-y’all-he’s-muh-second-cousin” claims to have talked to countless FBI agents in defense of President Indefensible didn’t signal determination—it signaled that the iceberg has holed the Trumptanic and the crew is running for the lifeboats.

Entertaining yet insane interviews with Lester Holt and others told us that Trump is ignoring reason, logic, politics, and most importantly, his legal team. His unveiled threats to Comey about secret White House tapes were a self-inflicted can of political whup-ass. Trump had long ago declared a pointless, doomed war with the intelligence community. Short of a land war in Asia, it’s the jewel in his crown of stupid. Our outward-facing intelligence agencies like the CIA already view Trump as a dangerous, compromised child. By firing Comey, Trump has crossed another red line. The FBI rank and file took it as an insult and an affront to their integrity and their reputations.

As if we hadn’t had enough lunacy in the last 10 days, Trump looked at America and said, “Hey… hold my beer. Watch this.” In his very cozy Oval Office meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Both men are so steeped in Russian intelligence circles they might as well have “spy” tattooed on their foreheads. As one of the smartest political observers I know said, “It’s ONLY MONDAY.”
