They’ll likely come up with some speeding tickets…

So…this is the small government party? Keeping its dad gum fingers out of the way of private businesses and such? I feel like sleazy intimidation of journalists is right outta the NY trump biz playbook. Now it’s official republican party business. Neat.

Yes, I’m sure that will be a very effective strategy. It’s certain to scare journalists off, and make them stop digging for incriminating emails, which don’t exist anyway. Yeah, that’s it.

Because Trump would never, ever attack anyone at Fox News.

I hear there’s a Russian government attorney who has some oppo research on journalists. Perhaps they’d like to set up a meeting.

All of this because one man lacks the courage and integrity to tell the truth.
