Fox News headlines: Tibbets murderer at top, smaller headline on pardoning Manafort, smaller 4 Cohen

Right now at

http://www.foxnews.com/

the largest headline, at the top of the page, is:

MONSTER DOWN THE ROAD
Illegal immigrant arrested in murder of Mollie Tibbetts was local farmhand, say police

Below that, in smaller type:

PARDON FOR PAUL?
JOHN YOO: What President Trump must consider before giving Manafort a slide

And in much smaller type farther down the page:

Ex-Trump lawyer 'more than happy' to talk and give 'all that he knows': lawyer

Btw, John Yoo writes that Trump shouldn't pardon Manafort, who's clearly guilty. However:

But if President Trump believes that Mueller’s investigation has gone too far, he should not resort to the pardon power to cure it.

Manafort was plainly guilty of tax evasion, on a large scale – TurboTax did not just make a $15 million error on his 1040.

Instead, President Trump can stop prosecutorial abuse either by ordering Mueller to curb his investigation or even firing the special counsel and replacing him. But a pardon of Manafort would seem purely political, in contrast earlier pardons granted by Trump to defendants who had arguably been sentenced to punishments wholly out of proportion to their alleged wrongdoing.

So firing Mueller wouldn't seem "purely political" in Yoo's opinion, and the pardons of Arpaio and D'Souza don't seem political...but pardoning Manafort would.

John Yoo has a hamster wheel on a pretzel-shaped track for a brain.

1. Scroll down - under "Entertainment" a story about CNN's April Ryan and the Uncredible Huck

CNN's April Ryan says Sarah Sanders 'stirred up' threats against her, should pay for Ryan's bodyguard

2. Almost no coverage of Christopher Watts, who killed his wife and daughters

Wondering why that horrific killing is not getting the same attention at Fox as the horrific killing in Iowa.

4. My local rag has wall to wall coverage

Of that Watts fella.

5. Because they weren't killed by an immigrant, so it's not politically useful for them?

8. That was my thought as well

3. I bet they dont mention that illegal immigrant worked at a farm owned by a big time Republican.
