no, they didn't. of course they didn't.
but can you imagine if hillary had won and this was even a rumor, let along something supporting from multiple sources?
it would not just be a huge scandal, it would "suck the oxygen" out of every other story.
hillary would not be able to give a speech or a rally or do anything without the media completely changing the topic back to this scandal.
it would be non-stop and people would be screaming for impeachment and "lock her up". they wanted her in prison for possible technical administrative oversights that might have theoretically made classified information available to hackers. they wanted her in prison for theoretically having some sort of "pay to play" approach with her private chariable foundation.
and then here she is trading powers of office to pay russians to commit espionage on americans. they'd want her hanged.
but with donnie, this is just another story that's kinda out there, yeah, maybe he'll lose a few points in the polls, maybe mueller eventually something maybe, but can he even indict, will democrats even impeach, they certainly cant get him removed, maybe they won't bother.
so the media covers the story and then moves on and lets donnie continue to talk about whatever he wants to talk about, including maybe getting us into a war somewhere.
the double standard is staggering.

(36,507 posts)"American's have to sharpen up!" Richard Painter said that & I second it. If someone votes based on something they read on FB, censoring our speech isn't going to fix that problem.
Besides, if they are plenty good at making up their own vile crap.

(21,946 posts)Big problem is the right wing will make it a meme and run with it. Never mind what else was written. They they'll be calling for more investigations ad infinitum, just as if they haven't investigated enough already..and not found anything to charge anyone with.
You have to remember they aren't too bright.

(52,309 posts)the right-wing makes up lies and runs with the wackiest ideas with zero grounding in reality.
ffs, they've got memes accusing hillary of running pedo rings and eating babies and who knows what other crap.
me adding an "if" is not going to keep a right-wing idiot from acting like a right-wing idiot.
