Whoever was in charge of keeping the commander-in-chief away from his phone this afternoon has failed, resulting in the latest string of embarrassing statements from the person who occupies the formerly most powerful position in the world. As more information is revealed about Attorney General “Wee Bigot” Sessions’ meetings with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, President Trump seems to be nervously trying to urge the press to look elsewhere. Fortunately for us all, the press is not a child that can be distracted by something shiny. The same can not be said for our president, who is citing public meetings between Russian officials and Senator Chuck Schumer, as well as with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, as possible indicators of corruption as calls increase for an investigation of possible ties between his own campaign and Russian officials.
