…and so on and so forth as CNN reports that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and incompetent binge drinking douchebag FBI Director K$H Patel have been ordering White House and other federal government employees to turn in their phones in an effort to track down the source(s) of various outlets’ reporting on the security flaws in convicted felon President Trump’s Qatar Force One plane.

CNN cites an administration official in the story – the very existence of which speaks to the efficacy of the “WITCH HUNT” thus far – writing that Trump “fumed” over the reporting on Friday night and ordered K$H to ditch his plans to watch his idiot girlfriend perform at some country music show in Chicago, with the witch hunt quickly leading to subpoenas for New York Times reporters.

The fucking dumbest and most on-brand part of it all is this: The White House press pool was with him on the real Air Force One on the way back from Turkey. Then they landed in England to switch to Qatar Force One to head to DC. Asked why, Trump made up some stupid excuse that didn’t make sense. It doesn’t take a federal criminal investigation to conclude that the most likely chain of events was that one or more of the reporters pulled an airman aside and had a 30 second conversation about the switch, probably even leading the questions by saying “That’s bullshit, right? Qatar Force One isn’t as safe from Iranian attack as the real deal, so you guys told him he had to take the old one. Do I have that correct?” and then running with it. Examining people’s phones serves no purpose other than preventing K$H from getting fired. And finding other, unrelated kompromat on them.

“Patel posted up in an office next to Wiles’ for roughly seven hours, as the two established what one source referred to as a ‘war room’ in the West Wing,” CNN wrote and lol.
