Fox News, Trump tackle the big question: Whos leaking information about the White House?Fox News has made minimizing Gen. Mike Flynn's resignation its top priority
Taylor Link, Salon Tuesday, Feb 14, 2017 11:07 AM CST
In the wake of Gen. Mike Flynns resignation as national security adviser, the media seems dedicated to learn what President Donald Trump knew about Flynns conversations with Russia, and when he knew it.
Fox News, on the other hand, wants to know whos been telling the world about this information.
What is extraordinary to me, is just the fact that a number of U.S. papers that apparently got the leaks from the intel community that said, Hey look we got the transcript of what Mr. Flynn said on the phone to the Russian ambassador, Steve Doocy, co-host of Fox and Friends, said Tuesday morning. And it looks like kind of shady. Just the fact that there are these leaks inside the permanent government is troubling.
Kellyanne Conway, Trumps adviser, could not agree with Doocy more.
Well you may be the only outlet talking about that this morning, so thank you for shining a light there, Conway said.

(17,006 posts)and e-mails got released and the repub answer was that's good the American people needed to have that info. Flynn colluded with Russia, lied about it, got caught and the problem is he got caught? What happened to "good, the American people needed to have that info?" What a bunch of treasonous bastards.

(5,611 posts)about the "incredible" perils of illegals (I am not joking -- they apparently started every single show yesterday with a segment on illegals and terrorism -- even their own guests were calling them out on their shit). And yeah now they are trying to turn this into another "Donald trump is a victim story" -- except that now his ass is president, and everybody is tired of trump's shit.

Are there any like that now? Time will tell I guess.

It is an abuse of power and their effort to criminalize politics could one-day blowback on them and result in their going to jail on bogus charges. They are employing a tactic that could undermine democracy, so it is appropriate to get the facts out.
Unfortunately, to explain these seamy tactics takes a bit more space than the normal column, but the facts need to be placed on the record.
Long read - good read.....
