You need to guzzle a couple more Diet Cokes and then take stock of what has just happened with regard to the &#8220;Russia thing&#8221; that has you tied up in knots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/372143-trump-says-memo-release-totally-vindicates-him-in-russia-probe\">The Republican chairman <\/a>of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee has released a memo that alleges the special counsel, Robert Mueller, and the FBI are &#8220;biased&#8221; against you. Yet you contend that the memo &#8220;totally vindicates &#8216;Trump'&#8221; in this investigation into whether your campaign colluded with Russians who tried to influence the 2016 election in your favor.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll differ with you, sir. The memo doesn&#8217;t vindicate &#8212; or convict &#8212; anyone. It&#8217;s been revealed as a fraudulent document. It cherry picks circumstances with the aim of discrediting Mueller&#8217;s probe. I hear the Democrats are planning to release a counter memo to refute what Republicans have alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Your continued tweet tirades against the so-called &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; do not help your assertion, Mr. President, that you are innocent of any wrongdoing. They merely cause many millions of Americans &#8212; folks like me &#8212; to wonder: Why is the president so damn worked up if there&#8217;s nothing to uncover?<\/p>\n<p>Hey, at this point I don&#8217;t really care if you keep using Twitter to project your message. I guess it&#8217;s become the medium <em>du jour<\/em> for pols, entertainers and pundits to communicate. In fact, this blog post will be distributed via Twitter as well.<\/p>\n<p>I do care about the messages you send out there, Mr. President.<\/p>\n<p>You say the memo &#8220;vindicates &#8216;Trump'&#8221;? No, sir. It does nothing of the kind.<\/p>\n<p>And please, stop referring to yourself in the third person. John Kanelis cannot stand it.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Mr. President, Settle down, sir.
