In movies and TV shows like The West Wing, the White House is often depicted humming and buzzing with urgency as the president’s advisers hand him reports and deliver verbal updates on the latest developments in the American and international crises he must manage on a daily and hourly basis.

Movies and TV shows aren’t real, though, and evidence strongly suggests that in our reality the president spent Tuesday morning watching a 2-day-old DVR’d episode of the Fox News morning talk show Fox & Friends. Matthew Gertz of the (Democratic) watchdog site Media Matters spotted it:

Next one is from the 8 am hour of Sunday's Fox & Friends.

That’s former Bill Clinton special counsel Ken Starr on the left. And here’s Trump’s tweet from this morning quoting what Starr said about the Russia investigation on Sunday:

“We’ve seen NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION....I have seen nothing, the firing of James Comey and all of the aftermath, that suggests that the President has obstructed justice because he’s exercising his power as the President of the U.S. I just don’t see it.” Judge Ken Starr — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 27, 2018

Good … good. Incidentally, Ken Starr hasn’t been a judge since 1989.

Also, he (Starr) is giving a talk sponsored by MGM Resorts called “Investigating the President” at UNLV on March 22. Tickets are free. Vegas, baby!
