I mean, what the fuck? Why does everyone* forget meeting this guy? Now we're hearing that he met with Jared and Bannon at Trump Tower - an event that was previously denied. And we're also hearing that Corey gave permission for Carter Page** Page to talk to the Russians. And that Trump approved of the change in the GOP platform language re the Ukraine.***

I have some sympathy for the argument that this is all paranoia and that Russia is being used as a boogeyman, but this is really getting ridiculous at this point.

And don't even get me started on the fact that even now, Trump aides are still using Gmail accounts for official business. Or that Mike Pence used an AOL**** account when he was governor - and when it was hacked, he just opened a second AOL account. A certain amount of hypocrisy is expected, but Jimminy Christmas, at least do a better job pretending to be consistent.

*Hi, Claire! At least you weren't under oath when you said you never met him.

** "Carter Page? Never heard of him. Doesn't work for us."

*** Yes, I said "the Ukraine" and not just "Ukraine." I also don't say "Mockba" or "Kyiv." And I still say "Burma," too.

**** I would make a joke about Prodigy or Compuserve here, but I still have an AOL email account.

The only other people in the world who were still using an AOL account at that time were my parents, who are very nice people, but who are similarly unfit for the vice presidency. But I'm sure that SEC Chick will have a rational and cogent explanation for why the whole e-mail server thing is no longer an issue we should be talking about during every waking moment now that it is not Hillary's e-mail server.
