If you were wondering when the Trumpists would blame all of their troubles on someone else, you’re too late.
- There’s an emerging strategy to turn this back around on the Democrats.
- An extreme example of this approach is Roger Stone, who texted Axios: “The president can turn the tables and dominate the dialogue by ordering the indictment of [James] Clapper, [John] Brennan, [Susan] Rice and [former president Barack] Obama for the wholesale unconstitutional surveillance of Americans… I would seriously arrest [and] perp walk every one of these criminals, making as big a show of it as possible.”
- Although Stone is a longtime confidant of Trump, this in no way reflects the strategy preferred by current White House staffers. With that said, there are already internal conversations about turning this into a conversation about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and the way they handled sensitive intelligence.
The next bet will be on when there’s a call to impeach President Obama.
The only way they can impeach President Obama is that he is back in office as President again; one can only hope.
