Trump Floats ‘Complete Power to Pardon’ While Confirming Sessions Leak, Attacking ‘Crimes’ of Clinton and Media

Also Attacked Democrats, Provoked Republicans, Defended Jr.  

Unsurprisingly, the President of the United States began his weekend at 6:33 AM with his latest Twitter tantrum lasting nearly two hours.

Trump began by attacking the “Amazon Washington Post” for “a new INTELLIGENCE LEAK,” seemingly confirming the newspaper’s report that Attorney General Jeff Sessions discussed “campaign-related matters, including policy issues important to Moscow” with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak “during the 2016 presidential race, contrary to public assertions by the embattled attorney general.”

Of note, Trump’s latest attack on James Comey follows his assertions that the now-fired FBI Director committed a felony, based upon a “Fox & Friends” story that the show admitted they incorrectly mischaracterized.

The president then accused the New York Times of aiding terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in their “sick agenda,” following their reporting that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he believes al-Baghdadi is alive:

This week, reports surfaced that Trump has been weighing his power to pardon, and he floated the idea early this morning as well, advising that “while all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon,” the “only crime so far is LEAKS against us.FAKE NEWS.”

And although it’s been over 250 days since the presidential election, Trump turned his morning focus onto Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, complete with a misspelling of Counsel:

Next, Trump defended Donald Trump Jr.’s ever-evolving meeting last summer with “Russian government attorney” Natalia Veselnitskaya, Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and reportedly, four others:

The president then defended new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, who called Trump “anti-American” and a “hack” in 2015:

Finally, “president for all” Trump (seemingly) ended his latest Twitter tantrum by turning to the Republican effort to repeal and “replace” ObamaCare and attacking Democrats:

“The Republican Senators must step up to the plate and, after 7 years, vote to Repeal and Replace,” Trump wrote:

The president, perhaps satisfied for the moment, ended his latest tantrum just over a half an hour before he was scheduled to depart the White House for the commissioning ceremony of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford.
