Roll Over, Lyndon Johnson

Lyndon Johnson is infamous for continuing meetings in the middle of a necessary trip to the bathroom, forcing underlings to accompany him to the toilet while he continued making his case for some sort of legislation or something like that.  But even he wouldn't have used the bathroom for what Trump used it for.

That is, destroying documents.

These are pictures provided to New York Times columnist and reporter Maggie Haberman, whom Trump famously belittled when he denied trying to flush sensitive presidential documents down the toilet to evade being found out on what he was doing.  He flushed so many documents down the toilet, the White House commode should be the site of the Trump Presidential Library!

He couldn't leave them around his dog and say the dog ate them.  He doesn't have a dog.  Geez, even Hitler had a dog! 

As funny as this may seem, the bottom line, as Haberman has stressed, is that Trump in fact did try to destroy documents - documents that could be incriminating evidence of a crime - when destroying any presidential records is against the law.  The only thing funny about it is how Trump tried to destroy them.  Had he tried to shred them, no one would be laughing.

Although I can't help chuckle at the idea of FBI agents overseeing the White House plumbers - literal plumbers, not plumbers like Nixon's crew (or overseeing plumbers in foreign hotels, where Trump was also known to, ahem, dispose of documents) as the poor guys to plunge out the paper blockage.
