The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

For the record: “The FBI corrupted the secret court process for obtaining warrants to spy on former Trump aide Carter Page. And it did so by supplying the court with false information produced by Christopher Steele, an agent of the Hillary Clinton campaign.” —The Wall Street Journal

Braying jackass: “It may be too much to hope that this report will put to rest the conspiracy theories about the 2016 election — especially now when the president and his allies are eager to distract from mounting evidence of his abuse of power with respect to Ukraine.” —Rep. Adam Schiff

Grand delusions: “The evidence of the president’s misconduct is overwhelming and uncontested.” —Adam Schiff

The BIG Lie: “For years, President trump and his Republican allies in Congress and the media have speculated wildly about deep-state conspiracies against his presidency. They’re based on the claim that the FBI opened an investigation into the president’s campaign with political motives. [Yesterday] we … got a report from the Department of Justice inspector general that puts these conspiracy theories to rest once and for all. This report conclusively debunks the baseless conspiracy that the investigation into Mr. Trump’s campaign and its ties to Russia originated with political bias.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

Alpha jackass: “So it was all lies. No treason. No spying on the campaign. No tapping Trumps [sic] wires. It was just good people trying to protect America.” —James Comey

Dubious grandstanding: “The FBI fulfilled its mission — protecting the American people and upholding the U.S. Constitution. Now those who attacked the FBI for two years should admit they were wrong.” —James Comey

Non compos mentis: “I do believe … that we have to deal with the original sin. We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion.” —Rep. Al Green

Sick and twisted: “Receiving THOUSANDS of messages about how I made a mistake having an abortion 7 years ago and how I must be a miserable person… I am in fact a happy, thriving multi millionaire, madly in love, with free time, good sleep and a wonderful career and life. But thanks for checking.” —actress Jameela Jamil

And last… “Remarkable that the Democrats are not impeaching the President for operating concentration camps. I guess they’re okay with them. Or maybe they made it all up.” —Erick Erickson
