Jonathan Chait: Trump may be forming an even more radical theory. Gabriel Sherman reports that Trumps team is attempting to build the case that anti-Trump forces in the F.B.I. entrapped his advisers using informants to plant evidence about Russian collusion. Let this roll around in your mind for a moment. Trump is not merely accusing the FBI of planting a spy, but of planting evidence.
Planting evidence? Multiple spies? Obama political operatives? You might think this is all so unhinged Trump could not possibly believe it, but then, you would have to explain Trumps longtime infatuation with the conspiracy theories he imbibes in his binge-watching of Fox News, where hours of air time can pass by without the appearance of anybody who is hinged. And you might also think Trump could not get his party to go along with this theory, to dismiss all the evidence of culpability as having been fabricated by a pro-Obama cabal in the FBI. But then you would be ignoring how far down the Trump rabbit hole the Republican Party has gone so far.

(11,885 posts)Its clearly a strategy to redirect attention, and misinform others by creating these make believe excuses he can use to change the news cycle heading for the day. He's been doing this for a long time too. Now the media dutifully repeat his messaging and words helping him promote his propaganda. The media is being played daily by him, and they should stop it now. Its helping him . This latest ploy they're using to undermine the investigation with, and corrupt the investigation more by getting very sensitive information they can even further use to damage this investigation with. Never thought I'd ever see a GOP Congress in control allow such corruption, and treason against our country to go on, but they are. They're helping a traitor hurt this country, and refuse to stop him. That makes them traitors too.
