Current Events : The Bradd Jaffy retweet echo chamber.

It's weird, the go-to for videos and quotes keeps changing. It was Sopan Deb of CBS then he went to NYT to cover culture. Daniel Dale of a Canadian paper used to be the guy, then he got assigned to something else, plus Trump. Brad Jaffy is the main NBC News producer dude and he's become the best.

Spicer press briefing starts in a few minutes. Considering the tone of the Senate committee on the Russia investigation was that it was 100% definite that Russia was helping Trump get elected, this should be interesting.

Bannon was probably deeply involved.

He's hosed, at least from a reputation standpoint, because he's basically shown he can't be trusted.

drat, does the NYT know when Spicy has just finished his breathing exercises and is minutes from walking out the door, and thus drops their stories on top of it to make him delay and sweat more or what?

NYT probably asked the administration for comment earlier in the morning, as per standard procedure. That triggered today's trump tweet, instead of TV news triggering the tweet. So, since the white house either responded with bullshit or didn't respond at all, and NYT didn't want to get scooped, they hit the publish button.

Poor Spicey.

On that New York Time's article about Nunes, quoting Shifty Pony's post from D&D

quote:

President Donald Trump has overruled a decision by his national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, to sideline a key intelligence operative who fell out of favor with some at the Central Intelligence Agency, two sources told POLITICO.

......

Cohen-Watnick appealed McMaster’s decision to two influential allies with whom he had forged a relationship while working on Trump’s transition team — White House advisers Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner. They brought the matter to Trump on Sunday, and the president agreed that Cohen-Watnick should remain as the NSC’s intelligence director, according to two people with knowledge of the episode.

At least one of the two individuals that Nunes met with was literally a Bannon puppet. Who was about to be fired before Trump saved his job.

You think they figured the "anonymous sources" defense they've been putting out there when they watched house intel committee and had Comey explain what "we can't confirm or deny" means

Here's some lighter, dumber stuff.

1) Donnie's poll numbers are weird https://twitter.com/_cingraham/status/847525284400291840

2) Spicey accidentally confirmed that Nunes had two sources during Tuesday's brief. Woops! https://twitter.com/BrianMontopoli/status/847522498933637121

3) Donnie's such a wuss he sent his budget guy to threaten a republican congressman that wasn't going along with him. https://twitter.com/fmanjoo/status/847525404751482880
