With any luck, we’re going to be seeing lots more reporting, the campaign, the fiscal malfeasance, and now cover-up. It takes time to cover political and economic corruption because you have to be both hyper-professional and hyper-vigilant or your story/ies bite back.
Of course if the delicate sensibilities of then-Director Commey had been as offended by the Russian meddling/Trump campaign chicanery as they were by HRC’s e-mails, these stories would not have been as amorphous last fall, rather more like what we’ve been seeing Feb/March. And they’d have reached this stage by Dec, so even if the hobgoblin had “won”, he would have been much easier to remove. In fairness, I have to give the MSM a huge shoutout for their “doubts and shadows” coverage last year as well: “Who helped make it happen? You, you helped make it happen!”
“The DNC should be publicizing the hell out of this…”
The recklessness of this GOP cluck to expose himself to God knows what kind of federal crime – is chilling. Where are the metaphors? “Pact with the devil”?
The odd part of this is it’s really old news. I remember this being flagged from way back before the election. Not that I’m not happy to see it getting attention now, but it’s worrisome when it takes so long for such blatent connections to surface in the national press…
New twist: this has the Russkies influencing the internals of local political subsystems. Remember that this was beyond imagining. On to the crucial districts that decided the election.
The google found this for me from October 20, 2016. The article is about possibly closing a highway through black communities for a car race on election day in Florida, and this Nevins character comes out with the sentence:
“I’m acting on my own. I am a Republican. There’s no denying that. I’m not coordinating with the Republican Party or Roger Stone or any of those people,’’ he [Aaron Nevins] said.”
And right on time: 5PM. Unfortunately, this will be washed away in the deluge of daily shit we can expect. In the meantime, McConnell is going to ram through the healthcare bill.
Incredibly naive question of the day: if a politician is found guilty of colluding with a foreign government to win an election, can the courts overturn the results of that election?
man, between this and all the trump voters nabbed for voter fraud, I’m starting to think the GOP is onto something with all their hyperventilating about election-related fraud.
we should restrict voting to just democrats, I think. they seem to be the only honest folks out there.
