. The last time Donald Trump held a press conference he did something unthinkable; presumably Trump has avoided press conferences since July 27th for that very reason. Today we’ll see if Republicans are desperate enough to chance putting Trump before the press again.
Republicans need a diversion while the fate of unvetted cabinet appointees is decided in four hearings today. It would be safer – for Republicans, to hold an impromptu fireworks display on Pennsylvania Avenue, but they’re going with Plan B, and it’s a risky plan. Trump could well say something impeachable today…Just like he did in his last press conference.
On July 27th, Trump – enjoying the prestige and attention of the spotlight, removed the need to prove Russians were hacking computers in order to place him in the White House. As a favor, Trump even asked the Russians to hack Hillary Clinton’s computers for him!
We witnessed an inducement to a foreign power to commit espionage against the United States. Trump’s disloyalty to our country is blatant, and in plain sight. The quotes are just lying there, as is the film from his last news conference. As Joe Biden once said on another topic, ‘This is a big f**king deal!’
