My thanks to Howard Kurtz for brushing off Donald Trump's comments about Russia finding HRC's e-mails as obvious sarcasm. I get that. He used a press conference to make a jest, a crazy bon mot that was meant by an entertainer to entertain. He seemed to find that perfectly acceptable in someone running for POTUS.
But Charles Krauthammer deserves praise, too, seeing DJT as "extremely clever," tricking the Clinton campaign into admitting that the missing e-mails were full of sensitive data, that her own words prove she should be indicted. Donald Trump succeeds in doing what multiple House special committees bungled, in whupping her sorry ass where the FBI failed. NAILED! (please note the preceding drips with sarcasm)
Let me see if I get this right. Donald Trump made a brilliant political move by making an outrageous comment that seemed to invite Russia to play footsie with the American political system BUT was simply sarcasm designed to remind everyone about HRC's missing headlines while garnering headlines for himself. Just kidding, folks, is what he's saying.
One of the many things I learned from West Wing is that press conferences are NOT the place for sarcasm. Ever.
Imagine Donald Trump winning the presidency. How many oops moments are we in for because he has no concept of what is & isn't appropriate?
