Is leaking information more deserving of punishment than the actions of swampy things like Scott Pruitt, and other tRump enablers?
Have we finally reached the point where up is down and down is up?
Nothing like what thug nunes and dumbarse dotard do…Oh ,wait…exactly like the those lying crooks do.
Lock them up in gitmo.
Can you be prosecuted for leaking fake news?
So is the Dotard / Ghouliani combo platter going to take the ludicrous position that any factual information about Trump Crime Family activities is now inadmissible because it was leaked?
Bet on it…
I think you get free ice cream for a year and massages.
And a pony.
The Dotard will be sorely disappointed when he is informed that leaking details regarding an investigation does not disqualify the findings of, or justification for that investigation. A crime is a crime, no matter how public knowledge of that crime becomes public.
I posed the question jokingly, but it would be some interesting reporting if TPM could link some leaks to specific Trumpp claims of fake news. His lack of precision might make it impossible to show a direct link, but I think it would be worth looking into.
Perhaps in line with the original ad campaign, the text should be “EAT MOR PORK!”
Um, yes. Except that every direction is down. DOJ has gotten into a journalist’s emails. Dotard is demanding that Russia be allowed back into the G7. ICE is separating children from their parents without any oversight of how they’re being treated in captivity. Stalin would be stunned by how quickly this is moving.
“…the Trump era’s first indictment involving leaks to the press.”
Just gonna leave this here:
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: Alexei Simonov keeps track of the grim body count and he tries to get each killing investigated. How many journalists have been killed since 1991? Since the Yeltsin period?
SIMONOV: Two-hundred twenty.
AMANPOUR: Two-hundred twenty journalists?
SIMONOV: Two-hundred twenty journalists.
AMANPOUR: And of those, how many have been properly investigated?
SIMONOV: Five.
AMANPOUR: Five?
SIMONOV: Or six.
AMANPOUR: Out of 220?
SIMONOV: Yes.
AMANPOUR: Russian police solve 80 percent of the murders here but only six percent when they involve a journalist.
SIMONOV: They don’t think journalists are really useful in this country. Sometimes they even think they’re worse than useless.
AMANPOUR: Why?
SIMONOV: Well, because they try to find out real things.
ETA: That interview was over a decade ago. The war on journalists has blown through body bags since then.
Maybe if the GOP did their job by holding this President and this administration accountable we wouldn’t need people like Wolfe to keep the public informed of the many, many, crimes that are being committed.
Remember when Faux News and Methbilly Nation freaked the fuck out over the subpoenaing of Rosen’s records? Good times…
Perhaps my favorite:
T rumpp is so jealous of Russia.
Give the man a medal.
“…It had long been a mystery to me how @MSNBC always miraculously knew about / was well staked-out for my Hart Senate Office Building visits, despite my best effort attempts to stay undercover.” ~Paige
Undercover? Dude doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut. Never saw a cable news interview he wouldn’t walk into.
ETA: Picture of Page undercover.
The following is going to be in all caps, if you have sensitive eyes beware:
TPM!!! PLEASE STOP USING PHOTOGRAPHS WITHOUT TELLING US WHO THE FUCK IS IN THEM!!!
The photograph is of a lawyer who we see following someone out of court on those TV loops, but who the fuck is he?
Edited to add the photo. Does anyone know who this guy is?
OT, but my fucking god these people are easy to predict…JUST LIKE REAGAN!!!
Frankly, comparing Reagan the reality to Reagan the canonized myth manufactured by the GOP and MSM, Reagan wasn’t even Reagan.
In case this was missed elsewhere, here is a repost:
OT but too good to pass up:
The comment section at TPM goes mainstream, sorta…
