So we went from "he was an informant" to "just kidding" in a single news cycle. The whiplash from these narrative pivots is getting dangerous.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) backed off his claim that President Trump was an FBI informant in the case of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

I wonder--- does anyone here know at all that Trump's uncle used to work for the government and helped design all kinds of high tech weapons and stuff for the USA?
John G. Trump - Wikipedia
Just wondering--- what did Obumma, Biden, Pelosi's, Harris', or Clinton's uncles ever do for us?

Johnson was just testing the floor.
As in - "how stupid of a lie can I tell before even the lowest common denominator thinks I'm full of it?"

You wonder because you need deflections from bad thoughts about Dear Leader.

I can't get past WAPO's pay wall and won't give them my email address to read something for free. But I can guess what they wrote.
Most of it is irresponsible reporting I think and WAPO and the NYT have become the poster boys for that. It happens when somebody gets erroneous information and presumably mentions it to somebody--that would be presumably as so often the 'mention' to the media is via 'anonymous sources' or 'unnamed officials' or whatever. So the media immediately tries to be the first to get this information out there--in media lingo, they try to 'scoop' their competition.
So the persons that are named in the news story may be advised this or that isn't true or hasn't been verified or whatever and again their 'retraction' is another rush to 'scoop' the competition.
It did definitely did seem out of character for President Trump to be working as in informant for the FBI. Especially when he says he hasn't had any personal contact with Epstein for more than 20 years and there is zero evidence that he has had that contact.
So don't blame those who are thinking out loud or just discussing something. Blame an irresponsible media that does not research, check, verify, make certain before reporting something like that about somebody.

No, that dumb shit Johnson realized that Trump would have had to be at some of those sex parties to be an informant.

Trump has been a Russian asset for decades.
Donald Trump spying allegations: more likely useful idiot ...
Aberystwyth University
https://www.aber.ac.uk › ... › News Archive › 2021
The book, American Kompromat, claims that the former US commander-in-chief was cultivated as a Russian intelligence asset for more than four decades.
Likely that little worm and pervert Johnson likely is too.

Thanks for proving you're an idiot.
Awww, Poor Q-NUT.
Unger describes how Trump first appeared on the Russians’ radar in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. Trump became the target of a spying operation overseen by Czechoslovakia’s intelligence service in cooperation with the KGB.
All Trump's wives were Soviet bloc.
Why isn't your dear leader using him?

You do know Russian collusion has been proven a lie? Like I said you're an idiot.
Thanks for proving you're a gullible Q-NUT.

Russian collusion is a myth, but the Ukraine woman was killed by one of your finest. Keep proving, you're an idiot.
