With the House Intelligence Committee on Monday prepared to hold hearings on Russian influence in the 2016 election, the president issued tweets that did not hold up well as the testimony unfolded.
Comey made it clear that no president on his own could order a wiretap; such an action must be approved by a judge.

Meanwhile, NSA Director Michael S. Rogers dismissed the White House suggestion that Obama asked British intelligence to spy on Trump — a claim already angrily rejected by Britain. Rogers confirmed that such a request would be a violation of U.S. law and that such a claim by Trump “clearly frustrates a key ally of ours.”

The testimony overall was clearly damaging to the White House. But then the president’s other Twitter account tried to make lemonade out of lemons.

The Pinocchio Test
The president’s tweets throughout the day were misleading, inaccurate or simply false. The gravity of the disclosures might have called for a more restrained response, as the White House’s well of credibility is only so deep. But the president chose another approach — which clearly backfired, tweet after tweet.

ROTFLMBO! What a pathological lying NUT-case!
Good riddance, Trump!

Trump had to send out his stream of tweets.

Otherwise the story is that his wiretapping accusations are lies and he and his merry band are being investigated by the FBI and NSA for working with Russia to undermine the election.

I'm going to be calling my Representatives to plead that they bring back the death penalty for Treason! Maybe that will stop scum like Trump and his cohorts, in the future.

If only it was a learning disability, THAT we can deal with. But he's unfortunately also a pathological liar with a mental problem and a bunch of immoral Yes-Men who will do his bidding regardless of how nefarious...

I think it's pretty clear to most of America, and yes, even Trump's supporters, that something is deeply ingrained in Trump that makes him act a bit unhinged at times. Composure, not impetuous action, is the most important trait of thinking men. When on the campaign trail he demonstrated real deficiencies which would have rendered any other candidate unelectable. So, he came to Washington on little more than a wound up demeanor and a scripted diatribe of vitriol. Our national shame...
