Is Anyone Else Besides Me Surprised That We Aren't Hearing More About The Missing 7hrs 37 min....

of phone calls in the WH on Jan 6th?

Seems to me this should be a front page - top of the hour news story - and I've heard little to nothing today about this.

We always hear that the cover-up is worse than the crime.

It's very evident a cover-up is going on here.

What's that saying about 'intent'?

The media wants the cover up. They miss having constant crisis and chaos.

They cover it as a second thought, but they don't amplify it the way they do any utterance of right wingers. Their focus is Hunter Biden and "the economy is BAD, everyone thinks so".

This isn't like the old days when one was limited to a newspaper and one of the big three broad cast news shows.

The House 1/6 committee received phone records.

There’s a 7 hour gap in the record.

There’s unrecorded phone call with Senator Lee.

There isn’t more to the story until there’s more to the story.

about what calls could have been made then, and suggesting what the most outrageous might be and implying that the WH erased this is suspicious and what are they trying to hide. You know, how they would do it if a Democratic President did this.

if 90% of the stories on DU that keep you and I awake at night are not even given a glance by a huge amount of the population.

But I guess for-profit media is simply trying to do what they do best-- increase share value at the expense of the rules of journalism.

No garbage coming out of Trump's mouth.

I can't stand to listen to his voice. I just want him gone and I don't really care how.

I don't think the law is going to catch him. He is so good at having everything blamed on someone else.

I am afraid I have lost all confidence in our legal system. It's like it's been for a long time. The wealthy get off and poor people go to prison for stealing bread.

That's the mood I am in today.
