Dear Leader protects the Nunes strategy
by digby
I think people are forgetting how incredible this is. If we learned in the past that a president had said this in private it would have been a scandal. Now he says it in public and it innoculates him because everyone says "oh it's just a tweet." He's still the president and this is still outreageous:
Basically he believes that the Inspector General may not back his lackey Devin Nunes' strategy to paint the FBI as full of Clinton stooges so he's publicly demeaning him and calling his integrity into question. This way his followers will be prepared to only believe things that are favorable to their Dear Leader.
