Awful Vanity Fair opinion peice just may hold a clue

 

"The Show" today

is all about wanting (((them))) to believe this:

 

While National Security Adviser John Bolton, according to a source, thought Trump’s remarks were ill-advised, he believed that walking them back would only add fuel to the outrage pyre and make the president look weak.

 

But Chief of Staff John Kelly was irate.

 

According to a source, he told Trump it would make things worse for him with Robert Mueller.

 

He also exerted pressure to try to get the president to walk back his remarks.

 

According to three sources familiar with the situation, Kelly called around to Republicans on Capitol Hill and gave them the go-ahead to speak out against Trump.

 

(The White House did not respond to a request for comment.)

 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan held televised press conferences to assert that Russia did meddle in the election.

 

Trump was boxed in. With seemingly only Rand Paul, Sean Hannity, and Tucker Carlson in his corner, Trump decided to backtrack.

 

Appearing before reporters this afternoon, Trump blamed his comments on a grammatical mistake.

 

“I would like to clarify, in a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t,’” he said, reading from a statement.

 

“The sentence should have been: ‘I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia.’”

 

-it appears to be working
