We will see what happens.

Never trust, always verify. But when the organs of the DC are involved it appears to be impossible to verify.

But when the organs of the DC are involved it appears to be impossible to verify. Trust/verify has become a joke. There is no trust and no trust there will be an honset effort to verify. Broken arrow and there will be no effort to perhaps survive under dire straights. Benghazi was sweeped under the rug. That should have told everyone that there is no hope DC can be reformed.

“There’s more: Until September 2013, the FBI director was Robert Mueller – who’s now the special counsel probing Russian meddling in the 2016 election. It’s hard to see how he can be trusted in that job unless he explains what he knew about this Obama-era cover-up.”

…
It’s also one of those stories with a potential to turn into a huge story, a blockbuster, depending on what information emerges over time.

IF I was writing a politico-suspense novel, I would have Comey finagling Mueller into the Special Counsel slot specifically in order to QUASH any information that looks like it might emerge. Investigating Trump would allow him to track down any documents or potential witnesses and leaks about the Clinton/Obama collusion.

Abortion isn’t just about babies.

I see no reason why it should be a “blockbuster” at present. I think, however, it is a substantial story that absolutely should have been covered in some depth by the MSM. Instead it has been ignored.

I kept an eye on FoxNews, not their opinion shows, but their hard news ones. I figured if the story was the blockbuster that the Right-Wing talking heads were making it to be, at the very least it would be the lede here.

It wast. I checked at the top of the hour a couple of times and I didn’t even hear it mentioned, let alone featured as the lede. Sean Hannity was all over it to be sure but the last time I saw him this excited it was about Sean Rich.

To be fair, FoxNews not treating this like a blockbuster doesn’t mean it isn’t. That would be some sort of logical fallacy. But before one dives into the forensics of a case one wants it to pass a threshold…otherwise you’d be running around Hawaii looking for Obama’s real birth certificate like a freakin’ moron.

Trump has the superpower to make the MSM reports on things that they don’t want to be reporting, he should use twitter more often on exposing the democrats instead of having fights with other republicans or some C list celebs.

Expecting propaganda outlets to report anything harmful to their narrative/agenda is an exercise in futility.
