Even if all this russia poo poo ends up with nothing and the pisstape is just Trump loving a random prostitute in missionary, it pisses him off in an amazing way whenever somebody mentions it, so it's worth it just for that.

Trump doesn't care which is why he tweets incessantly about it, lies repeatedly about it, and fired the head of the FBI over it.

"The White House did not anticipate that the Russian government would allow its state news agency to post photographs of an Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the US, a White House official said.
Photos of Wednesday's meeting, taken by a Russian state news media photographer one day after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey amid questions about possible Trump campaign collusion with Moscow, were ultimately posted by Russia's news agency, TASS.

The White House did not post photos of the meeting until Thursday. The State Department did post photos of Lavrov's meeting with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, but that was open to the press."

"They tricked us," an angry White House official said.

"That's the problem with the Russians -- they lie," the official added.

The Russians used the photos to troll the White House in its social media posts Wednesday. The Russian Foreign Ministry posted a photo of a smiling US President shaking hands with Lavrov on Twitter, adding strange and ironic optics to the questions already swirling around the White House over Comey's firing.

I'm sure the White House didn't care that photos surfaced of Trump meeting a guy they purposely left out of the press release (and banned American media from seeing) because he's probably a spy and was responsible for the the National Security Adviser losing his job.

Remember when Trump called a press conference about the birther issue just to say "eh, I'm over it." Do you remember when he tricked the press into coming into a room with him and Bill Clinton's rape victims were sitting there. The guy is loving hilarious.

This. Everything is a big pile of nothing.

Although I figure Trump just lets it happen. He could put an end to it but it's probably a "If all that goes on is a bunch of bitching that isn't conclusive then they are laying off reporting and discussing things that actually matter." I think both sides are complicit in that strategy.

A line on a track on a carrier catches a hook on the back of the plane, pulls it back and let's it go as in a slingshot, hence it's name
