In dueling memos, we are seeing President Trump in panic mode

In dueling memos, we are seeing President Trump in panic mode
By Former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), opinion contributor — 02/06/18 10:30 AM EST

Less than a week after delivering a State of the Union address extending an olive branch, the president of the United States has used it to try to bludgeon an opponent, this time tweeting a smear against Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). Trump called the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee “Little Adam Schiff” (I guess we’re running out of original insults), followed by a veiled threat that he “Must be stopped!” (Full disclosure: Schiff and I are very close friends and I have supported his congressional campaigns.)

The State of the Union might be strong, but the state of President Trump seems to be sheer panic. The Schiff tweet, combined with his behavior around the release of the Nunes memo, reveals a president in relentless fear of facts, consumed with discrediting, defaming, distracting. Now, the president has boxed himself in a scenario where he must decide whether to declassify and release a countervailing memo by Rep. Schiff and other House Democrats. The president’s attack on Schiff is vintage Trump – damage the messenger, muddle the message.

Stopped reading right there.  No point in analyzing crap from someone who's that close to somebody who's designated himself "the enemy."  GIGO.

Looks like the democrats purposely put alot of classified info in their ten page document, forcing the FBI to redact, for which they will then blame Trump for censoring their case.

The message won't  be muddled forever.  Schiff is going to wind up in jail pretty soon.  (QAnon pointed out that the POTUS would not call Schiff a top-tier criminal unless he could prove it.   QAnon went on to tease Schiff by some cryptic remarks about what the gummint already knows about Schiff's crimes.)

Can’t blame them for deftly using ‘dirty politics’. A redundancy in democratic hands.

And everyone thought the new position Schiff was angling for would be a political one.

Of course.  It's all SOP with the rats.  And they're enjoying the game immensely.

Sources tell @foxnews that the @AdamSchiffCA memo contains information pertaining to "sources and methods" that will likely require redaction.  One source says this was done tactically to force the @realDonaldTrump into making changes  - setting up a contrast with GOP memo

Democrats could certainly try to get away with this ruse, however this ain’t your grandfather’s president. Donald Trump has rewritten the rules of the game, and all bets are off. President Trump has 90 million twitter followers. Think Trump won’t point out the democrats deception? Think again.

Which brings up the object lesson why this president tweets and why it’s good that he does, and why I support him doing it to his heart’s content. It’s instrumental in destroying democrats’ lies.
