White House on edge: 'We are kind of helpless'

It was, in the words of one senior White House official, the worst day of Trump’s presidency.

White House officials spent early Tuesday wondering who was leaking details of President Donald Trump’s classified conversations with Russian officials about intelligence shared by the Israelis, and moving to contain the fallout ahead of Trump’s planned trip to Jerusalem next week. They spent the evening facing a report that before he fired FBI director James Comey, Trump directly asked him to stop investigating the Trump campaign’s Russia ties—and worrying what else might yet be revealed.

“Nobody knows where this really goes from here,” the White House official said. “Everyone is walking around saying, ‘What is next?’”

That kind of wondering should be done behind closed doors among trustworthy people.

That last thing Trump needs is his own staff throwing up their hands and whining.

Good gosh.

But...Trump said he was going to drain the swamp...with the help of anti-establishment stalwarts Sec of Treasury Steven Mnuchin, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, and top economic advisor Gary Cohn all from benevolent and patriotic Goldman Sachs.

He said he was going to drain the swamp. So what if the outflow's in the White House itself - the swamp is getting drained still.

Well, it's nice to see some fiscal responsibility. Orange is a lot cheaper than gilding the darned things.
