IT’S GETTING REAL

Yesterday we learned that Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates saw a Category 5 Hurricane churning and heading for a direct hit on the White House.  She tried to set off alarm bells, warning White House Counsel Don McGhan that Lt. General Michael Flynn had been compromised by the Russians and could be blackmailed.  The White House wanted to know, “Why does it matter if one member of the White House National Security Team lies to another?”  Ignoring her warnings, Lt. General Michael Flynn would not only stay on in the White House for 18 more days but would be included in a highly classified conversation with Russias’ Vladimir Putin.  Sean Spicer would refer to Ms. Yate’s warnings as a “heads-up” while Michael Flynn Jr. would apply for his own security clearance. Two riveting moments: Ted Cruz is shamed by his very own “Mona Lisa Vito” and Clapper admitting he was out of the loop with regard to Comey’s investigation.

Last night, FBI Director Comey found that his testimony last week at the House Intelligence Committee misstated key facts about HOW Hillary Clinton’s emails ended up on Anthony Weiner’s computer.  Comey said that Huma had a practice of sending emails to Weiner for printing, and while this may be true for a handful of emails, it is untrue regarding the thousands of emails that suddenly, after being in the custody of the NYPD and the NY Bureau of the FBI ended up there.  This is a key question and now Comey must correct the record.

Jimmy Kimmell responded to the “call-out” culture that is Right Wing Media and specifically addresses Newt Gingrichs lame and hurtful comments on Fox News regarding, “American humor.”  It’s a classic.

So let’s go over who gets hurt and when if the GOP has its way with our Healthcare system.
