IT IS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT, EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, AND
DONALD TRUMP GETS ANIMATED.
IT HASN'T BEEN A GOOD WEEK, HE DID
THE JOINT SESSION, IT WENT WELL, HE WAS EXCITED ABOUT THAT, BUT
THEN JEFF SESSIONS'S NEWS CAME OUT, HE HAD TO RECUSE HIMSELF
INTO INVESTIGATIONS ABOUT RUSSIA, THAT MADE TRUMP MAD, AND
APPARENTLY HE READ SOMETHING ON RIGHT-WING NEWS SITES THAT MADE
HIM EVEN MORE ANGRY.
HE TWEETED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID --
>>WAIT A MINUTE -- YOU FOUND OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
BECAUSE HE IS THE PRESIDENT, IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE HE WOULD
GET AN INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING, HE SHOULDN'T REALLY GO BLABBING
ABOUT THAT ON TWITTER, BUT OKAY, THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING, IT'S
VERY CREDIBLE THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD KNOW SOMETHING WE
WOULDN'T.
BUT REALLY, SOMEONE CAME IN BRIEF DUE IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT IN FLORIDA?
LESS LIKELY.
LET'S KEEP GOING, HIS
NEXT TWEET IS --
>>NOW HE'S ONTO SOMETHING.
EVERYONE IS SAYING HE'S CRAZY,
AND THAT'S RELATIVELY TRUE, BUT
THERE IS ONE KERNEL OF TRUTH --
ACCORDING TO THE GUARDIAN, AND THIS STORY CAME OUT IN JANUARY,
THE FBI ASKED THE FISA COURT FOR A WARRANT TO WIRETAP TRUMP
TOWER.
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND, THAT MEANS THE FBI
THOUGHT THAT THE EVIDENCE THEY HAD CONNECTING TRUMP OR HIS
ASSOCIATES, THAT ARE ALSO IN TRUMP TOWER, TO RUSSIA WAS SO
SIGNIFICANT THAT THEY WOULD GO TO A COURT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN
ELECTION IN OCTOBER, RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION, AND ASK FOR
A WARRANT TO WIRETAP A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OR HIS
ASSOCIATES.
IF THAT IS TRUE, THAT IS NOT GOOD NEWS FOR DONALD
TRUMP.
THAT IS TERRIBLE NEWS FOR DONALD TRUMP.
THAT'S WHAT THE
GUARDIAN REPORTED.
THEY WERE TURNED DOWN, IF THAT REPORTING
IS TRUE, THE FISA COURT SAID NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT, HE IS A
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN THE MIDDLE OF A RUN AND THEY
WOULD'VE HAD TO HAVE HAD OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE IN ORDER
TO HAVE THAT WIRETAP BE ACCEPTED BY THE COURT.
SO TRUMP
CONTINUES, HE SAYS --
>>BUT YOU JUST SAID IN THE EARLIER TWEET THAT HE WAS TURNED
DOWN BY THE COURT, WHICH MEANS HE WAS NOT WIRETAPPING YOU,
BESIDES YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS OBAMA WHO WAS DOING
THAT, AND YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED INTO ANY OF THESE LAWS BEFORE
YOU SEND OUT ALL THESE TWEETS.
I HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING DONALD
TRUMP OF THIS -- YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT.
YOU COULD ASK YOUR
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS, THEY NOW WORK FOR YOU.
YOU COULD ASK THE
FBI, THE CIA, ANYONE YOU LIKE -- YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT, DONNIE.
YOU DON'T JUST HAVE TO GET MAD AS IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF POWER.
DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THAT?
JUST FOUND OUT FROM ALEX JONES THAT
SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE GOVERNMENT -- DON,
YOU ARE INSIDE THE GOVERNMENT.
IS LIKE ONE OF THOSE MOVIES
WHERE JASON BOURNE IS LIKE, HE'S CALLING FROM INSIDE THE
BUILDING.
DON, YOU ARE CALLING FROM INSIDE THE BUILDING.
JUST
ASK SOMEONE IF YOU THINK THEY ARE WIRETAPPING YOU.
YOU DON'T
HAVE TO GET CONSPIRATORIAL, JUST FIND OUT.
THEY HAVE TO GIVE YOU
WHAT YOU WANT, YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT.
HE SENDS ONE MORE
TWEET NONETHELESS --
>>OF COURSE THERE ARE MISSPELLINGS, NOBODY IS
SURPRISED BY THAT.
A LOT OF PROJECTION AND TALKING ABOUT A
SICK GUY.
IF OBAMA HAD CALLED BUSH, WHO WENT BEFORE HIM, A
SICK GUY, THE PRESS WOULD'VE EXPLODED.
HOW DARE HE?
ANGRY --
THE RIGHT WING WOULD HAVE ADDED BLACK MAN -- BUT THE REST OF THE
PRESS WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, THAT'S AN ANGRY THING TO DO,
IT'S UNACCEPTABLE, IT BREAKS THE QUORUM, AND IT'S NOT LIKE THE
PRESS ISN'T ON TRUMP, BUT MY POINT IS THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED.
NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER SAID ABOUT A FORMER PRESIDENT, THIS GUY IS
SICK, AND OF COURSE THE CHILDISH "BAD GUY," BECAUSE HE DOESN'T
POSSESS A VOCABULARY PAST THIRD GRADE.
SOMEONE IS EITHER BAD OR
GOOD, FINE OR SICK.
BAD OR SICK GUY LIKE NIXON, WATERGATE.
TO
CHARGE THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITHOUT DOING YOUR
RESEARCH IS UNBELIEVABLE, BUT WITH TRUMP EVERYTHING IS
BELIEVABLE.
SO THEY ASK THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF THE
GOVERNMENT, DID YOU DO THAT?
JAMES CLAPPER, FORMER NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE DIRECTOR, SAYS --
>>LOOK, I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT IS NOT TREATING THIS AS PURELY
INSANE, BECAUSE AGAIN THE GUARDIAN DID REPORT THAT THEY
DID ASK FOR A WIRETAP, AND IF YOU NOTICE CLAPPER'S WORDING,
THEY SAY IT'S NOT AGAINST HIS CAMPAIGN AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ONE AT THE TIME.
IT WAS TURNED DOWN BY THE COURT IT'S TRUE THEY
WOULDN'T HAVE ONE, HE DIDN'T SAY THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR ONE.
AND
THEN RAW STORY EXPLAINS --
>>THAT IS REPORTED BY EVERYONE, THAT IS TRUE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA
WOULDN'T HAVE GONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AS TRUMP DOES,
SOMEBODY GET ME A WIRETAP ON THIS TRUMP GUY, I DON'T LIKE
HIM.
THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.
LET'S BE CLEAR, THAT DOESN'T
MEAN THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR A WIRETAP, THAT WOULD COME OUT OF
THE FBI OR THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN SOME OTHER WAY, BUT
NOT FROM THE PRESIDENT.
THE FACT THAT IT WOULDN'T COME FROM THE
PRESIDENT IS SAID THAT TRUMP DOESN'T KNOW THAT, DIDN'T BOTHER
TO INVESTIGATE, DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE FACTS.
BUT IT ALSO
DOESN'T MEAN THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR A WARRANT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
HIDING BEHIND THAT LIKE OBAMA COULDN'T HAVE ORDERED IT SO IT
ISN'T TRUE -- NO, OBAMA COULDN'T HAVE ORDERED IT BUT SOMEONE ELSE
COULD HAVE, LET'S KEEP IT REAL.
KEVIN LEWIS, CURRENT
SPOKESPERSON FOR OBAMA, SAYS --
>>MMM, THERE'S A LOT I COULD DISAGREE WITH THERE, BUT AS IT
REGARDS TRUMP, AGAIN HE'S SAYING OBAMA AND WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS
DIDN'T DO IT.
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN THE
GOVERNMENT DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT WARRANT, SO LET'S BE CLEAR ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED AND DIDN'T HAPPEN HERE.
SO HOW DID TRUMP GET THIS
IN HIS HEAD?
AGAIN WE GO TO RAW STORY, BUT THIS IS REPORTED BY
MANY OUTLETS AS WELL --
>>SEE, THIS IS WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY.
DONALD, IF YOU HEARD SOME
IDIOT TWO-BIT CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOST ON THE RADIO OR YOU
SAW BREITBART, WHICH IS WRITTEN -- THE GUY WHO IS YOUR CHIEF
ADVISOR THEORETICALLY STEPPED DOWN FROM BREITBART BUT
OBVIOUSLY STILL GIVES ORDERS TO WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO WRITE
ABOUT, HE'S PLAYING YOU.
STEVE BANNON USED TO RUN BREITBART,
NOW HE NO LONGER IS ASSOCIATED WITH IT BECAUSE HE'S CHIEF
ADVISOR TO THE PRESIDENT, HE JUST CALLS ANYONE AT BREITBART
AND SAYS RUN THIS STORY, HE PRINTS IT OUT, THIS IS FROM
ANOTHER ARTICLE WE KNOW FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS,
THEY PUT IT ON TRUMP'S DESK AND THEN TRUMP READS IT, BECAUSE HE
DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO WORK A COMPUTER OTHER THAN TWITTER, AND
HE'S LIKE, LOOK AT WHAT BREITBART IS SAYING.
AT THAT
POINT, DONNIE, YOU ASK PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU ARE PRESIDENT, YOU
DON'T JUST GO ON TWITTER AND SAY, CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT ALEX
JONES IS SAYING?
YOU ARE SUCH A FOOL.
OKAY --
>>AGAIN, I'M A LITTLE MIXED ON THAT ONE.
COMEY, THE HEAD OF THE
FBI, SAYS DON'T DO ANY INVESTIGATIONS, THEY'VE SHOWN NO
PROOF.
OKAY, BUT YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR THE
WARRANT.
SO LET'S BE CLEAR ON WHAT IS AND ISN'T TRUE.
TRUMP
DOES NOT HAVE EVIDENCE OF IT, INFO WARS IS NOT EVIDENCE, IF
YOU THINK SO THAN ALIENS ARE ABOUT TO ATTACK US AND WATCH OUT
FOR THE LIZARD PEOPLE CONTROLLED BY SATAN -- THAT IS NOT REAL
EVIDENCE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THE DENIALS HERE ARE CAREFULLY
WORDED, AND AGAIN IF YOU BELIEVE THE GUARDIAN, WHICH IS A REAL
NEWS SOURCE, THEY DID ASK FOR A WARRANT.
SO THIS IS AN
INTERESTING STORY, TRUMP SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHAT HE ASKS FOR, IF
YOU ASK FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THEY WANTED THE WARRANT
THAT YOU MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY RELEASE THE EVIDENCE THEY HAD ON
YOU.
OOPS.
WE WILL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE.
SARAH HUCKABEE
SANDERS, WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY, SAYS THAT OF
COURSE SHE HAS NO IDEA IF THERE IS ACTUAL EVIDENCE, SHE SAYS --
>>AND THEN THEY GO TO THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE CHAIR, HE
IS A REPUBLICAN, AND HE SAID ON SUNDAY --
>>THEN YOU GO TO SEAN SPICER, WHO IS OF COURSE THE WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY, AND IN A SERIES OF TWEETS HE ENDS IT BY SAYING
--
>>FIRST OF ALL, I WOULDN'T BET ON IT.
UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY
PHYSICALLY TOOK TRUMP'S PHONE AWAY FROM HIM, HE WILL PROBABLY
COMMENT ON IT AGAIN.
BUT IT IS INTERESTING THAT AT THE END, THE
WHITE HOUSE IS LIKE, NO FURTHER COMMENTS.
WAIT, IF THE
INVESTIGATE THIS AND THEY FIND OUT WHAT THE WARRANT WAS BASED
ON?
NO FURTHER COMMENTS, WE WON'T BE TALKING ABOUT THIS AT
ALL ANYMORE.
OH, INTERESTING.
IF TRUMP DID SOMETHING WRONG WITH
THE RUSSIANS, WOULD HE REALLY BE STUPID ENOUGH TO ASK FOR AN
INVESTIGATION OF IT?
AND MY ANSWER TO THAT IS, OF COURSE!
OF
COURSE HE WOULD.
THE SINGLE BIGGEST MISTAKE THE MEDIA
CONTINUALLY MAKES ABOUT TRUMP IS NOT THAT HE'S UNSTABLE, THEY GOT
THAT RIGHT, NOT THAT HE'S DONE ALL THESE THINGS WRONG, THEY GOT
THAT RIGHT.
IT'S THAT THEY ARE UNDERESTIMATING HOW PAINFULLY
STUPID HE IS.
SO YES, IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT HE OPENS
UP AN INVESTIGATION WHICH ONES OF DOING HIM AND.
HEAR ME NOW,
QUOTE ME LATER.
