Well, now that collusion with Russia is proving to be a total hoax and the only collusion is with Hillary Clinton and the FBI/Russia, the Fake News Media (Mainstream) and this phony new book are hitting out at every new front imaginable. They should try winning an election. Sad!

One of my Soviet/Russia politics colleagues said the Wolff book reminded him of an old Soviet joke: "Man runs in Red Square shouting 'Brezhnev is an idiot.' Arrested and jailed for 10 years: one year for insulting the president, and nine years for betraying a state secret."

As I told @JRubinBlogger of @washingtonpost, the criminal referral of Steele by Grassley and Graham doesn’t appear to be a legitimate effort to alert the FBI of criminal activity. https://t.co/BMSGVWSKjx

Grassley and Graham could've exercised real oversight. Instead, they're going after someone who investigated Trump. They're consciously—and unconscionably—choosing power over conscience, party over country. They're choosing the path of authoritarianism.https://t.co/3LRhRMoOYV

While The Gorilla Channel is unfortunately fiction, here's a very real thing: a 1997 New Yorker excerpt where Trump turns off the movie Michael so he could put on Bloodsport, then makes Don Jr. or Eric fastforward so it was only fight scenes.https://t.co/fgI0SjIkxJ pic.twitter.com/gpBaj8BLfZ
