    Um, no. He is a spy. Textbook definition of a spy. Just because you don't like the word, doesn't make it not true.

    So many things were wrong here. The meetings, which Justice and intelligence officials initially balked at, were conducted at the insistence of the White House, which should stay out of an investigation of the president, not meddle in it.

    Democratic lawmakers were initially excluded — on the theory, as White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders put it, that it would be strange for Democrats to “consider themselves randomly invited to see something they never asked to.”

    And the White House sent, “to relay the president’s desire for as much openness as possible under the law,” as it put it in a statement, not only the chief of staff but also the president’s in-house lawyer detailed to overseeing the investigation.

    The fruit of this accommodation? Trump was back on Twitter Friday morning, with even more unhinged claims about “spies placed in a competing campaign, by the people and party in absolute power, for the sole purpose of political advantage.”

    And this is the thing about Trump: No amount of capitulation will suffice. He is interested only in self-preservation, no matter what the cost to the rule of law. That grim reality raises the risk of every deviation from ordinary practice — that it will set a dangerous precedent without achieving more than a temporary reprieve — even if it does not dictate where, exactly, to draw the line.

    Donald Trump was in Annapolis today for the Naval Academy commencement. Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst in Washington for the Center for Strategic and International Studies and who’s forgotten more than Trump will ever know about defense spending, wrote on Twitter he found six lies in Trump’s address, in just two minutes.

    I watched this portion of @realDonaldTrump's speech at the Naval Academy today, and can't let it go. In just 2 minutes he makes at least 6 factual errors. Watch the clip and then read the rest of this thread:
    This POS can't even stop lying and his trumpanzees don't care because he's their guy. A little less moral relativism would be useful in the USA right now.

    CNN host Brian Stelter on Sunday criticized President Trump, calling him a liar and saying his lies have been well-documented.

    "President Trump is the leader of the United States. He is also a liar," Stelter said on his show, "Reliable Sources."

    "This has been well-documented. Lying was a big part of his business strategy - he called it 'truthful hyperbole.' Now, as commander in chief, he misleads the public constantly."
    ....
    Stelter went on to question whether on-air reporters should read the president's tweets aloud - something MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace stopped doing during a report on Friday.

    "I'm not reading any more of this," Wallace said with a laugh on-air Friday. "These are boldface lies and as his audacity and his sort of fantasies expand, I wonder what role you think the truth plays in this for any of them."
    This is good news for the country. Glad to see journalism finally reporting the simple truth that trump is a liar.

    "I think we can look at a big picture now with some real definition, in which the perilous moment for our country right now, and it's a question of whether lies, authoritarianism and the character of the president of the United States are going to take us to an authoritarian place where we have never been in, which he will bury a duly constituted and legal investigation that will determine whether or not the president is above the rule of law," Bernstein told CNN's "Reliable Sources."
