JOHN HEILEMANN (HOST): So that was Jesse Watters and a Trump lawyer on television last night introducing Fox News to their latest fraudulent, phony, manure-covered narrative, backed of course by the twice-impeached, utterly disgraced, pathological liar, coup-attempting ex-president that surely the FBI must have framed him. A lie based on less than zero evidence, just a bad faith hunch.
These new unfounded allegations against the federal government follow in the footsteps of Trump's other big lie, the one about election fraud. Same deal, muddy the water as much as you can, put as much crap into the system, as Steve Bannon liked to say, and enough people would believe something, or be too confused to believe anything.
