Algae-Gate There's a permanent wide angle camera mounted atop the Washington Monument

You can stop by anytime and take a look.

These vandals remain unidentified even under the watch of National Guardsmen deployed to the Reflecting Pool. And they were apparently reckless enough to do their dirty work under 24/7 surveillance - there’s a permanent wide angle camera mounted atop the Washington Monument. You can drop in on the feed any time.

OK, granted, it’s an extremely wide angle, and you’d need some CSI-grade zoom-in technology to get a good look at the alleged vandals. But Trump himself claims there are tapes. So this is a problem very easily solved. Just release the tapes, and we can clear this all up. (Not the water, of course; that much has proven impossible.)

Then again, it could just be another sleight of hand or maybe his cabinet is using it to keep him busy.
