If Donald Trump’s morning tweets seem even more out there, more derailed, more simply incomprehensible than usual, that’s because they are.
As the Washington Post has already revealed, the “spy” inside Trump’s campaign was a Cambridge professor, who talked with some of Trump’s advisors and became so concerned about what he heard, that his next phone call was to the FBI. He was not a trenchcoat-wearing operative somehow embedded in the Trump campaign, running a digital recorder under the table of every meeting and planting bugs on Trump Tower telephones.
Except, that’s exactly how Trump is playing it. And when Republican House members come over to view the FBI documents with Trump, expect them to play it exactly the same way. Because the Trump White House has entered a particularly dark corner of the Twilight Zone. One in which they don’t just suspect the FBI of stalking Trump, but have already proved that it happened.
This has all the signs of an endgame. The kind of game where Trump doesn’t just pull the trigger on ending the Mueller investigation, but checks in with ICE to see if their new gulags have enough room to hold the FBI. We’re miles beyond worrying about obstruction. This is more in the area of dismantling.
