"All the news we deem fit to print"
With his presidency under siege from all sides, Trump has fired his current Chief of Staff, John Kelly, and is looking for a true Sicilian gumba as the White House prepares to go to the mattresses.
Early favorite, Anthony Scaramucci, has been knocked out of consideration as he is not 100% Sicilian.

Within hours after the resignation of John Dowd as his lead lawyer in the FBI Special Counsel investigation, Donald Trump has asked Vincent LaGuardia Gambini to join his legal team.
Yes, Vincent Gambini is a fictional character played by Joe Pesci in the movie, “My Cousin Vinny.” This does not matter to Trump.
“Aren’t lawyers just frustrated actors?” questioned Trump.
“I need an aggressive lawyer like Vinny who will fight for me like he did for those two New York boys falsely accused of murder at the ‘Sac-O-Suds’,” said the 45th president of the United States. “Yes, I know Joe was just acting a part. What do you think I’m doing?”
“Vinny’s a great lawyer, believe me,” said Trump. “If he can fool Judge Herman Munster, he can more than handle Mueller.”
Asked if Vinny (Pesci) has accepted his offer, Trump said, “ No, not yet. But Gambinis are proud people. They believe in seeing justice done. Nobody, I mean nobody, pulls the wool over the eyes of a Gambini.”

Donald Trump must have had a restless Saturday night. And who could blame him! With so much on his mind … mass murders, Russia investigation, low poll numbers, the realization that his illegitimate presidency may soon come to an end … he took to Twitter Sunday morning.
Trump’s latest temper tantrum included a reprise of some of his greatest hits of all time. An attack on Obama for negotiating with Iran? It’s there. Attack on the FBI and the Justice Department? You got it. Attack on Hillary Clinton and Democrats for being sore losers? You betcha. No colluding with Russia? Of course. It’s a Trumpian mainstay!
The man who no doubt hears the Fat Lady gurgling off stage, issued the following tweets:
Expect more of the same from Trump as the long hand of justice is about to grab him by the neck for the ultimate karmic smackdown.

Today may be remembered as the day Trump went down for the count. Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations he had with the Russian ambassador (spy?) last December. Sources say Flynn is ready to finger his old boss.
While we have yet to hear from the Twitter-happy Trump about this bombshell development in the Mueller investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia, Ty Cobb, Trump’s attorney issued the following statement:
“Today, Michael Flynn, a former National Security Advisor at the White House for 25 days during the Trump Administration, and a former Obama administration official, entered a guilty plea to a single count of making a false statement to the FBI.
The false statements involved mirror the false statements to White House officials which resulted in his resignation in February of this year. Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn. The conclusion of this phase of the Special Counsel’s work demonstrates again that the Special Counsel is moving with all deliberate speed and clears the way for a prompt and reasonable conclusion.”
Perhaps anticipating this day, Trump put out a statement in early May trying to distance himself from Flynn’s legal troubles. He blamed any problems with the retired three-star general on the Obama administration. Trump tweeted Flynn was “given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration – but the Fake News seldom likes talking about that.”
During a Fox News interview this past April, Trump blamed Obama for flaws in the Flynn vetting process. “So when he came into our administration, for a short period of time, he came in, he was already approved by the Obama administration and he had years left on that approval,” Trump said.
After Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was indicted on charges stemming from Mueller’s investigation, he tried to downplay his connection with Manafort as well. Once again his attorney, Ty Cobb, issued a statement that emphasized the short amount of time Manafort acted as campaign manager.
“[Trump] likes and respects Mr. Manafort and appreciates the work he did for him during the three months he was with the campaign.”
Let’s see … Flynn, 25 days with the administration; Manafort only three months with the campaign? How could Trump possibly have had any real association with the two or know what they were up to with Russia?
Alls eyes are waiting for the King of Twitter to offer up some ridiculous and incredible statement.
As a famous bandleader used to say, “ And-a-one-and-a-two-and-a-three …”
