"I actually get along well with Rod. We have a witch hunt going on, which is disgraceful, and I have to tell you, I'll take these Republican guys, which is Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan, and Gates, and Gibbs, and all of them, and I hate to mention it because I wanna give every one of them credit, these are tough, smart guys. They know there was no collusion, it turned out, with Russia. There was collusion, but it was with Hillary Clinton, the DNC, I mean why didn't, as an example, the FBI take the DNC server? They didn't take it. They don't even know where it is. There are so many questions."
"I tell ya what, Devin Nunes should get a medal of honor, or a medal of freedom, and Jim Jordan… these people, what they go through"
More burning of James Comey.
Hm what's this
Fox guy:
"The WaPo is reporting this morning that the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the operation to lure him (Khashoggi) him back to Saudi Arabia from Virginia, and then detain him, according to US. intel intercepts of Saudi officials discussing the plan."
"That's a very sad thing, and we will probably know in the very short future. We have some incredible people, some incredible talent, working on it."
Re midterms
Thinks people are happy about the economy
Thinks people aren't going to forget what happened with Kavanaugh
"I think we're going to do very well. I can tell you there were Senate races that we weren't even going to contest, that we're actually leading in. I could mention names, but I won't. Eh, maybe one or two– Heidi (Heitkamp) was going to be a win, and we have a man who is fantastic, and we asked him to run, Kevin is just a great person, and he's up by 13 points. And on many of the Senate races, races that we didn't think we had a chance, we're going to at least do very well and in many cases, I think we're going to win…. I really think Republicans are energized and we're going to do really well."
INCOMING BEATDOWN CONFIRMED
If POTUS sounds this upbeat and is willing to come out and say it, that means he's seen predictions that show the numbers coming in way higher than we think.
"But ya gotta go vote!"
As soon as I heard about this Khashoggi guy, all I could think of was that C_A twitter post talking about how their people were in all kinds of jobs– journalist was on that list, iirc.
