The irony level is now at supersaturation and crystals of terminal honesty are condensing out of the truly bizarre and ungodly concoction.
US President Donald Drumpf told Russian officials that firing FBI director James Comey eased "great pressure" on him, US media report. The New York Times, citing a document summarising last week's meeting, says he called Mr Comey a "real nut job". Mr Comey had been running an inquiry into possible collusion between Russia and Donald Drumpf's election campaign.
"I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job," Mr. Drumpf said, according to the report. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off."
Donald Drumpf called the ongoing Russia investigation a "witch hunt", but reporters have just found a boiling cauldron and a closet full of broomsticks. The key takeaway from these latest blockbuster stories - there have been so many this week it's hard to keep count - is there's now further evidence of Mr Drumpf's intent to dismiss FBI Director James Comey because of his handling of the ongoing Russia investigation.

"But it's from NYTimes, seems credible enough...WaPo says it, too."
I'm quiet again. "Under any other set of circumstances, I'd take that as gospel truth. But my credibility muscles are all distended, I can't quite come to terms with what I'm reading."
