Trump says Russia 'hoax is turned around'
2017-10-26
[FOXNEWS] President Trump, in a wide-ranging sparring session with news hounds Wednesday afternoon, blasted Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
over new revelations her campaign helped fund a salacious anti-Trump dossier last year ‐ calling the project a "disgrace" and claiming the tables have turned on Democrats over the "Russia hoax."

"They’re embarrassed by it, but I think it’s a disgrace," Trump told news hounds, before heading to Texas for a briefing on Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts and a Republican fundraiser. "It’s a very sad commentary on politics in this country."

In the midst of a court case that threatened to reveal the dossier’s funding, it emerged Tuesday night that political consulting firm Fusion GPS was retained last year by Marc E. Elias, an attorney representing the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. The firm then hired former British intelligence officer Remington Christopher Steele to write the dossier that contained unverified and lurid allegations against Trump and his team’s ties to Moscow.

Once is an accident, twice coincidence. I forget what N+1 is, but I think we're waaay past that by now.

#5  Bonus turnaround point: some journalists with integrity and ambition dive deep into this corruption of epic scale -- a million times worse than the Watergate. Surely there are some such journalists somewhere in America?

Since every major scandal must have a nickname, what shall it be?

#4  It's not turned around until: we know to what extent the FBI financed it under Comey; the FISA court decisions based on that "dossier" are investigated; and Mueller ends his "special project" with a public admission that it was Clinton+Obama-directed corruption.

#3  I expect a rush of suicides among Fusion execs

I think you forgot your /sarc tag, grom. They pleaded the Fifth in Congress. Then they went out for drinks and dinner. They'll be sorry if and when they ever have to do the perp walk but they lack the feelings of guilt and shame that most people have so they will not off themselves.

#1  Maybe the hoax is turned around, but what is more important is whether or not the consequences are also turned around.
