You keep trying to claim credit for the economy. This is clearly a sore spot with you, and I understand why. The economy under your administration was sluggish, awful, really. So much so that your sycophantic media minions tried to convince the public that 2 percent growth was “the new normal” in an attempt to make your failure look like a success, like the best we could expect going forward. And they did a good job of it.

There are people who couldn’t find work under your administration who are now working. We both know you didn’t have anything to do with it, but you’ve got to sleep, right? Your legacy can’t just be flowery speeches, stagnation, and a Middle East in disarray. I mean, it is, but you can’t say that. You’ve got a library/monument to yourself to build, and you don’t want a Libya wing

 So you have to belittle the guy who brought about some of the lowest unemployment in generations, lowest black and Hispanic unemployment ever, and spurred economic growth that makes your two terms look like a soiled diaper. I don’t blame you.

Your line about how the economic recovery started under your administration was cute, and it played well with the drooling audience. You knew you were safe in saying that because journalists, who just can’t quit you, weren’t going to report how while the growth rate in 2015 was 2.9 percent (so close to 3 percent, but you just couldn’t get there, could you?), the rate the following year lost nearly 50 percent of that, a pathetic 1.6 percent. When you know the downward trajectory you’d created wasn’t going to be reported, you can say things like you did.

Again, I don’t blame you. I’d be embarrassed of your economic record too.

I suggest Michael read the book The Russia Hoax by Greg Jarret

 I dunno, it's over 350 pages with very few pictures.  The perfesser may have to wait for CNN to do a segment on it and tell him about it.

Yeah this was my take on it too (no I'm not that Rush).  The MSM and the left must be salivating thinking they've finally got Trump but it's nothing but mist, there is no "there" there.  It's just a continuation of what they've been doing ever since the election, a lot of mindless thrashing trying to overthrow the result they cannot accept.

I'll add that this is nothing more than an attempt to rally the democrat base for the mid terms.  They have flamed out badly, no message, nothing inspiring. 

I am finding it ironic that Brennan’s “freedom of speech” is being dragged into this by the press. Doesn’t he now have complete freedom to talk about anything? Under the security clearance, he was restricted from speaking about certain things, right?

 The whole Brennan "has lost his freedom of speech" is ludicrous and being spouted by propagandist in the MSM.

 The facts: Brennan has no need to maintain a security clearance as he has left government and the current administration does not want or need his services.    Brennan's present employer does not require him to hold a security clearance (although I'm sure they would like for him to have access).   Brennan has defied the CIA's policy on former employees holding a security clearance.

 And a bigger fact being ignored by the MSM: Brennan is up to his eyeballs in the DoJ/FBI scandal and has a lot to lose as he gets further exposed for his part.

 Swamp draining is a painful but necessary task.
