Attention span is very short. Come next Friday, they'll have another shiny new thing to fret over.

I'm looking forward to all those newly hired IRS folks finding gobs of tax fraud and evasion by the ever so elite folks. We'll have months and months of this one and that one getting indicted for tax stuff.

The outrage and around the clock coverage they gave to Hillary's emails story. Which was a big nothing burger.

Compared to the very real crimes of Trump removing and destroying documents which they gave a max of a week.

That's why they're angry it doesn't fit the narrative they want to write.

If the FBI served a search warrant on the Clintons they'd be covering it as a great and long over due justice.

They would have shut down network coverage of all events and did a 24 hour vigil outside the Clinton home for weeks.

Raid is a different Word from execution!

The media couldn’t come up with a better work I guess!

...and the newspapers I read don't have the lamentations you describe. Perhaps you could offer citations rather than assume we all agree with you?

This circus distracts from what the Dems have just accomplished.

Its done. We won't know what the FBI found for a very long time. Yes, its good news, but move on till something concrete becomes of it.

Fucker was on MSNBC’s 11th Hour, where it seemed he told Stephanie Ruhle and Co. that Trump was going to declare his candidacy and the Democrats were going to be blamed for this abuse of the FBI with a civil war.
