General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI watched a bit of FOX News with Sandra Smith and John Roberts a couple of hours ago...
And they were discussing the affidavit and had Karl Rove on as their guest. Interestingly, Rove did not cut Trump any slack. He gave a good timeline to their viewers of how the NARA had requested the documents and how Trump had rebuffed them. He explained how the office of presidential records kept a file of every document that went to Trump and she gave the file to the NARA and they could tell that the boxes of documents received in January did not include all the files that the former president had access to. He was very clear in his explanation.
Smith and Roberts were also very skeptical of Trump's motives and explanations. Why did he take the files to Mar-a-lago, they repeatedly asked.
I will probably check them out later today to see if anyone else has any doubts about the motives of their former president?

(10,030 posts)Some of the Fox bunch started backing away within the last couple months. It is a trickle that will probably turn into a gusher. Notice the "WITCH HUNT!!!" rhetoric from the right has died down considerably since the first few days after the FBI MAL search.

Actually I canceled my service, and got new service with them with a different package that included a lesser fee for TV but only 15 channels which is all I ever would need in 1 million years anyway. Before anybody tells me you cant take it off it turns out that you can.

Why, Donald, why??

(111,110 posts)Sun Tzu said "Know the enemy and know yourself in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril."

It wouldn't be a stretch to consider the GOP taking points being discussed last night. Was it determined that the they MUST throw TFG under the bus in order to save face, look like he's not one of them?
