Or something.
Good lord, it’s so hard to keep up with the train wreck that is the Trump administration that I can’t keep all the cascading story lines straight.
Washington Post tonight:
Kelly is “a big fat liar,” said one White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share a candid opinion. “To put it in terms the general would understand, his handling of the Porter scandal amounts to dereliction of duty.”
Meanwhile, over at The New York Times tonight...
Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, said on Tuesday that he paid $130,000 out of his own pocket to a pornographic-film actress who had once claimed to have had an affair with Mr. Trump.
In the most detailed explanation of the 2016 payment made to the actress, Stephanie Clifford, Mr. Cohen, who worked as a counsel to the Trump Organization for more than a decade, said he was not reimbursed for the payment.
(Stephanie Clifford’s stage name is Stormy Daniels.)
In a phone interview tonight with Anderson Cooper, Times reporter Maggie Haberman hinted at more to come on this story, telling Cooper that Cohen’s admission leads to further questions about more payments of this sort to other women.
Meanwhile, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is making many folks pine for the days of Sean Spicer when the lies were about stupid stuff like inauguration crowd size rather than protecting a wife beater or lying about the FBI:
Watching the press secretary at Monday’s briefing, the words that came to mind were these: A new low.
Yes, a new rock bottom from the podium at the Trump White House press briefing.
And that is really saying something, given the lying-from-day-one reign of Sean Spicer, along with Sanders’s own fulsome history of dissembling, and the 10-day flameout of Anthony Scaramucci last summer.
But she did it.
It never stops with these lowlifes...
I
Just
Cannot
Keep
Up.
