He Has Met The Problem, And It's Never Him

With the White (Supremacist) House in a state of chaos after days of self-inflicted wounds by sociopathic con artist Donald "Rump" Trump, Rump has decided, after conversations with himself, that his staff is to blame for not locking him in a closet and taking away his smart phone. Rumors persist that a shakeup of the staff is imminent, with Sean "Spicy" Spicer and Reince "Prepuce" Priebus being most likely to be axed. After the New York Times' report of the Comey memo hit, the scene inside the White (Supremacist) House was grim, per Politico:

"Top White House officials learned of the looming New York Times story about a memo Comey wrote memorializing Trump’s request two hours before it went online. Aides rushed to ask Trump what he had actually told Comey. But the White House had no memos or tapes of the meeting to rebut the claims, several officials said. Trump didn’t even give an entire readout of his conversation, leaving staffers 'actually unaware of what happened,' one official said.

'It’s not like we were in on the meeting,' this person said. 'We had no idea. We still don’t really know what was said.'

Another official laughed when asked if Trump had really 'taped' the meeting, as he’s suggested on Twitter: 'If so, none of us have heard the tape.'

Trump was furious about the story, one of the officials said, but retreated to the White House residence within 75 minutes of it going online – leaving aides to 'figure out how bad the fallout was.'” (emphasis added)

It must be punishing to work for a immature, narcissistic, dishonest ignoramus such as Rump, whose lack of self-awareness leads him to conclude the he's not the problem, everyone else is.

Comey Memo: Trump Asked Him To Shut Down Flynn Investigation

The centipede, it has many shoes, and they're dropping.

President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting. 

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo. 

The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia. 

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

Mr. Comey shared the existence of the memo with senior F.B.I. officials and close associates. The New York Times has not viewed a copy of the memo, which is unclassified, but one of Mr. Comey’s associates read parts of the memo to a Times reporter. 

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey, according to the memo. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” 

Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey that Mr. Flynn had done nothing wrong, according to the memo. 

We'll leave it to others to determine if this crosses the line of obstruction of justice, but to us laymen, it sure sounds like Article I of the bill of impeachment.
