Right-wing websites, conspiracy theorists and Twitter-tweeting twits are spreading "fake news" by sharing photos of R. David Edelman, a former adviser to President Obama. They say he's the whistleblower. They're wrong. Edelman was never a member of the intelligence community – and he hasn't worked for the government since 2017.

The internet thought it found the Trump whistleblower's picture. The internet was wrong
Right-wing social media accounts have been widely sharing two photographs that they claim show the whistleblower at the center of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump and prove that the whistleblower is biased against Trump and hopelessly untrustworthy.

If Presidential press conferences are eligible to compete in the National Book Awards, the Goodreads Choice Awards and/or the PEN/Faulkner Awards for Fiction, I would like to nominate this one. It included "Hoax!" and "Witch hunt!" and "perfect phone call" and "Fake news!" and "Fake whistleblower!" and "Highest poll numbers ever!" and.......well, let's just say this press conference is a much more creative work of fiction than The Lord Of The Rings or Alice's Adventures In Wonderland.
The 40 wildest lines from Donald Trump's impromptu Friday press conference
It was a very frustrated President who greeted reporters Friday morning before jetting off to Atlanta. I went through the transcript of Trump's remarks -- they stretched for almost a half hour -- and took note of some of his more outlandish lines. They're below.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I like this one.
38. "There is nobody I'd rather run against than Little Michael."
Trump, for what it's worth, has said this same thing about Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and virtually the entirety of the Democratic field.

There are plenty of choices, covering many races, both sexes, and a wide range of ages. Should we force people to vote for Kamala Harris, because she's a younger black woman?Biden is a white man in his 70s. Warren is a white woman in her 70s. Sanders is a white man in his 70s. Trump is a white man in his 70s. Bloomberg is a white man in his 70s.
Wow, so many choices!

Kamala Harris looks about as black as Michael Jackson looked in 2008.

The latest FiveThirtyEight average of national polls shows Biden favored by 28.2% of Democratic voters, Warren by 20.3%, Sanders by 16.6% – and Harris by 4.3%. The most recent Los Angeles Times/USC poll shows Harris favored by only 4%. It's time for her – and a few others I could name – to withdraw from the race.

When I make sarcastic comments – which is often – it does not mean that I missed a point, okay? And Harris isn't even popular in her home state. So, no, we don't force people to vote for her – or for anyone.

One of the local theaters showed godfather part 2 the other day. Not cleaned up, like it was 1974 still. I'm imaging the committee scenes when the whistle blower changes his tune. "Then I said, Donald Trump this, and Donald Trump did that, and I said . . . . yeah sure!!"

It's been 4 years of CNN and others in a constant state of amazement about everything he says. Way too long to realize it doesn't matter.

He was governor of Massachusetts, and an FOB (friend of Barack), on the short list for attorney general. But he wasn't well liked here, or anywhere.

There is no limit to the lengths to which Donald Trump will go in order to ensure we never know what's in his tax returns. What is he hiding?

If I were running for President – and you can all be glad I'm not – I would run ads touting my own accomplishments, not ads attacking my opponents. I believe voters are turned off by attack ads. A former New York City Mayor apparently disagrees.
