FROM THE LEFT CARTOONIST VIEW Trump’s chickens finally come home to roost On Monday, accountability finally arrived for Don- ald Trump. After 70 years spent largely skating free of consequences for his puerile misbehaviors and diarrheal mouth, he likely found it something of a shock. Seven decades is a long time, after all, and if the so-called president has learned nothing else in those years, he has learned this: Accountability Leonard Pitts is for other people. Received a bill? Stiff the vendor. Get caught in a lie? Tell another. Say something stupid? Blame somebody else. To watch him over the 21 months of his political career has been to suffer a kind of nauseous awe as he repeatedly brazened and bluffed his way through scandals, lies and acts of bungling incompetence that would have sunk ... well, anybody normal. You had to wonder if the chickens had forgotten how to come home to roost. You had to wonder if gravity still works. But accountability arrived this week in an ex- traordinary open session of the House Intelligence Committee. There, FBI Director James Comey laid waste to Trump’s contention that he was “wiretapped” by then-President Barack Obama during last year’s campaign. The bizarre claim has already been roundly shred- ded in the two and a half weeks since Trump first made FROM THE RIGHT it in a series of early morning tweets. But the so-called president has clung to it with a stubborn insistence. He discomfited German Chancellor Angela Merkel when Feelings not always a good he tried to joke about it during their joint press conference. And he outraged the British when they were forced to refute a -- pardon the tautology -- baseless guide to justice Trump claim that they had participated in the alleged bugging.
