Uh, yes, so, in the past 24 hours, not only did we discover that the president gave highly classified information to an adversary, but also that he reportedly tried to directly stop the FBI from investigating his associates’ connection to said adversary. According to a memo by then-FBI director James Comey, who has been reported to keep extensive paper trails, Trump said: “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go,” referring to the investigation into Michael Flynn. Another fun tidbit: according to one of Comey’s associates, Trump, a confused hobgoblin who—to reiterate—just gave classified information to the Kremlin, said the FBI director should consider putting reporters in prison for publishing classified information.
