Donald Trump’s garbage day

| 7:07 pm EDT September 1, 2018
Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

On this national day of mourning for Senator John McCain, we have the “President” of the United States, Donald J. Trump, falsely ranting about the Steele Dossier and how it is a rigged process. There is nothing fake or rigged about it, and as Judas Priest sings, when all is said and done in the Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigation, some heads are gonna roll.

Trump did a series of tweets Saturday morning, quoting his close compadres, Judicial Watch. In a series of tweets over an hour, he tweeted: “Report: There were no FISA hearings held over Spy documents. It is astonishing that the FISA courts couldn’t hold hearings on Spy Warrants targeting Donald Trump. It isn’t about Carter Page, it’s about the Trump Campaign. You’ve got corruption at the DOJ & FBI. The leadership of the DOJ & FBI are completely out to lunch in terms of exposing and holding those accountable who are responsible for that corruption.”

A bit later, he continued with a quote from his flunky Dan Bongino: “You have a Fake Dossier, gathered by Steele, paid by the Clinton team to get information on Trump. The Dossier is Fake, nothing in it has been verified. It then filters into our American court system in order to spy on Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s political opponent Donald Trump, and now we find out that there wasn’t even a hearing – that Donald Trump’s 4th Amendment right to privacy was signed away…and someone in there is swearing that this stuff is true, when it wasn’t? This is the scandal here – a police state.”

Donald Trump continues to be worried and scared – the bully is having his comeuppance. Space does not permit one to unpack all the mistruths and misdirection in these statements. For starters, FISA proceedings and the court are secret, and information is not available to the general public. If Trump’s rants are true, who disclosed anything about any proceedings or lack thereof? In addition, contrary to the repeated mantra by Trump and his team that the dossier is “fake,” while a few details (such as the peepee tape) have not been confirmed yet, nothing of substance has been proven false. We have a president in meltdown, knowing that yet another Trump-Russia person, Sam Patten, has joined the True Plead Club.
