(Credit: Getty/Saul Loeb/Salon) It was just four months ago when President Donald Trump confessed to NBC’s Lester Holt that he had fired FBI Director James Comey in order to thwart the investigation into the ongoing Russian attack on our democracy, thus appearing to confess to what could easily be construed as criminal obstruction of justice. It was three months ago when Trump launched into yet another Twitter conniption fit, accusing “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski of “bleeding badly from a facelift.” A few days later, he appeared to incite violence against the press by posting an animated GIF of himself body-slamming the CNN logo. Several days after that, on July 11, we learned that members of Trump’s campaign inner circle, including his son, Donald Jr., met with alleged Russian operatives in hopes of acquiring damaging intelligence on Hillary Clinton.
