FBI pushes back against Trump’s latest anti-Clinton theory
It’s worth emphasizing for context that the original report was published by a far-right website called the Daily Caller, and the claims were amplified by Fox News yesterday afternoon.
It was just last month, for example, that Justice Department prosecutors debunked the president’s bizarre conspiracy theory about Imran Awan, who worked as an I.T. aide for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.). Prosecutors explained in July that they completed “a thorough investigation” into the far-right theories, which the president believed, and found no evidence to support them.
Last September, the Justice Department also confirmed in a court filing that Trump’s conspiracy theory about Barack Obama wiretapping Trump Tower phones was baseless.
It’s one thing when Trump’s outlandish theories are discredited, it’s something else when it’s Trump administration officials doing the debunking.

President Trump blasted his Attorney General Jeff Sessions and lamented the indictments of two GOP lawmakers who were his earliest supporters in Congress during the 2016 election, suggesting they should not have been charged because they are Republicans.

Trump vs. Trump

eme-court.html
Douthat: My general take on this election is that it’s really Trump vs. Trump. By which I mean, whether the Democrats can turn their advantage into a rout will depend on something beyond their control — the president’s own conduct in September and October, which could be worth a few extra points to Democrats if it’s manic and authoritarian and kooky, and a few extra points to Republicans if it’s (relatively) restrained. What do you think of that framing?
Bruni: Will Trump’s conduct be a central factor? Yes, yes and yes. A few weeks ago, I talked extensively on background with a prominent Republican strategist who’s involved in the party’s efforts this fall, and he made the point that the party can find the right messaging, get all of its candidates in line, deploy the right amount of money to the right races — all of that — and then be utterly foiled by a presidential temper tantrum in the final week. The strategist noted that there’s one person in the party who can never, ever be expected to swallow his pride, suppress his emotions and follow a prudent script, and that’s the party’s leader, one Donald J. Trump.
Douthat: I wouldn’t say “never, ever,” since I can’t always decide how much self-control the president possesses. Watching most of his campaign, and watching the early, manic, “Hey, maybe I’ll just fire Comey” phase of his presidency, I decided that he simply couldn’t master himself sufficiently to execute the job of president. (Hence my interest in 25th Amendment options.)
But there are enough lines he hasn’t crossed since then (even if he’s rubbed them out or kicked sand across them) to make me think that there must be some self-control lurking beneath the carapace, some ability to pull on the reins before the horse goes completely off the cliff. Even in the 2016 race, where time and again (the Judge Curiel business, the Alicia Machado business — even the “Ted Cruz’s dad killed J.F.K.” business around the time he clinched the nomination) he seemed unable to restrain himself from total folly, he did manage to avoid terrible blowups in those last two weeks before the election. And without that restraint he probably wouldn’t be president.
Bruni: I’ll grant you that he has fleeting episodes of uncharacteristic calm. Maybe he just gets tired. He’s no spring chicken and he exercises too little: Golf isn’t all that aerobic.
Douthat: I’m just saying I would not be completely surprised if Trump’s Twitter feed goes dark and his swirling madness abates, conveniently enough for his party’s chances, on Oct. 15 or so.
Bruni: But please note that I said that he can never, ever “be expected” — and that’s the key. No one can plan on him. No one can count on him, in part because his self-consumption is too mammoth to allow discipline in the service of a group cause.

Trump’s latest abuse of power is likely to blow up in his face
Beyond this, the release is a remarkably brazen abuse of power. As national security expert David Kris notes, Trump is overruling national security professionals who wanted to keep certain portions secret to protect sources and methods — not for purposes of “transparency” in the “national interest,” but because he believes it will serve his own “self interest,” as a “subject” of this investigation.

I think the solution to all of this would be for everybody to just keep their fucking mouths shut until the investigation is complete.

Rosenthal went to Trump and now Trump has backed down. Putin won't get the information he wants this time.
