So true, @JoyceWhiteVance. Nor would an unwitting dupe repeatedly and relentlessly smear the intelligence officials [Brennan, Clapper, Comey] who shared the info about Russia’s nefarious activity. Only a witting conspirator would go to such lengths.
Trump's former NSA accused him of treasonous conduct –– “aiding and abetting” Russia's attack on the 2020 election –– and the story was blown away by the never-ending firehose of craziness and disinformation generated by Trump and his crew.

-Gen. Mark Milley

-Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gilday
-Chief of Space Operations, Gen. Raymond.

Feds are seizing masks and other #COVID19 supplies from hospitals without a word.
“Federal officials sweep in without warning to expropriate our supplies... Are they stockpiling it? Distributing it? Will we get any of it back? We can’t get any answers.”latimes.com/politics/story…
“Trump and other White House officials, including Jared Kushner, claim that the federal government is using a 'data-driven approach' to procure [STEAL] medical supplies from hospitals and direct them where they are most needed [TO HELP TRUMP'S REELECTION].”
!! Chairs of two key House panels are demanding answers about Jared Kushner's role “in the acquisition, distribution of, or federally directed sale of any form of PPE or medical supplies and equipment to be used for the diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19.”nbcnews.com/politics/white…
It took 70 days from the initial notification on Jan 3 for Trump to treat coronavirus not as a hoax, but as a lethal force poised to kill thousands. But by then, critical time had been squandered and opportunities to mitigate the pandemic were lost.washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Because of Trump and his admin's failures over the first 70 days of the coronavirus crisis, the US will likely go down as the country that was supposedly best prepared to fight a pandemic but ended up sustaining heavier casualties than any other nation.
For 70 days, Trump lied to the public about coronavirus.
By the time he proclaimed himself a wartime president and coronavirus the enemy, the US was on track to see more of its people die than in the wars of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq combined. washingtonpost.com/video/politics…
BREAKING: Trump has fired inspector general for the intelligence community, Michael Atkinson, who opposed then-DNI Maguire’s decision to withhold the whistleblower complaint from Congress, which sparked the impeachment inquiry.
NEW: Trump has fired intelligence community inspector general Michael Atkinson, who was first to sound the alarm to Congress last September about an “urgent” complaint he’d received from an intelligence official re Trump’s communications with Ukraine.politico.com/news/2020/04/0…
Schiff: Trump’s dead of night decision to fire ICIG Michael Atkinson is another blatant attempt to gut the independence of the Intelligence Community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing.
