They included swings at the FBI and Hillary Clinton and special counsel Robert Mueller and, of course, the media. The one thing shared in common was a sense of desperation so thick it could stop a bazooka blast. Trump is clearly frightened out of (what passes for) his wits.<\/p>\n<p>Among these tweets was one in particular that represents his brazen assault on verifiable facts. In response to the crushing news that his former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, has <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=36329\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pleaded guilty<\/a><\/strong> to lying to the FBI and is now cooperating with Mueller, Trump pounded out this absurdity:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I never asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn. Just more Fake News covering another Comey lie!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/937279001684598784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the easiest Trump lies to refute. That&#8217;s because he&#8217;s on video saying exactly what he is now tweeting that he never said (video below):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;When I decided to just do it <em>[fire FBI Directer James Comey]<\/em> I said to myself, &#8216;You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story. It&#8217;s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.'&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So he told NBC&#8217;s Lester Holt that he fired Comey specifically because of the Russia investigation at the FBI. An investigation that Comey refused to halt at Trump&#8217;s insistence. Flynn, of course, was at the heart of the investigation. And we know now that he lied to the FBI to cover up the involvement of himself and others in the Trump campaign and administration, possibly including Trump.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=36335\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that he fired Flynn because he lied to Vice-President Mike Pence and the FBI. That was a new revelation. It was the first time that Trump acknowledged knowing that Flynn lied to the FBI. And if he knew that when he fired him, that is a confession to obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n<p>Comey testified under oath before Congress that Trump asked him to stop the investigation. Now Trump is calling Comey a liar. But if you look at the record of both men in public life, it&#8217;s clear that Trump is the one that it is impossible to believe. He currently has racked up <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/fact-checker\/wp\/2017\/11\/14\/president-trump-has-made-1628-false-or-misleading-claims-over-298-days\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">over 1,600 lies<\/a><\/strong> just since his inauguration. And this latest tweet is a new lie wherein he is lying about his previous lies. And what&#8217;s really sad &#8211; and somewhat frightening &#8211; is that there are still people who believe him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c0iLo_kTp0k?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=34&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confused?
