Hey, Donald Trump: We've seen that stupid criminal move before

For a guy who watches as much TV as does 45
 
his no-evidence finger-pointing allegation that 44 tapped his phones - his initial hysterical, ahistorical crossed-wires jumble of words read this way -  
 Mar 4MoreTerrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! - - 
- reminded me of what's routine on "Dateline."

The main suspect, his footprints, fingerprints, surveillance images, cell phone pings, bank records, credit card receipts, insurance policies, incriminating outbursts and one-in-three-billion DNA matches are all over the crime scene and case,


Nailing down his means, motive and opportunity.


So the stupid criminal, aware the walls are closing in, clumsily and amateurishly suggests an alternative and distracting theory to the seasoned investigators that only makes them look harder at their suspect.


It's a variation on 'the real killer is still out there,' and there's usually a moment in the show when the lead detective, assigning more investigators and overtime to the case, says 'that's when we knew he did it.' 


Two commercials later, the jury is back with a guilty verdict.
