NYT's Brooks: Let's Face It, There's Really No Evidence On This Russian Collusion Stuff And This Isn't Watergate
2017-06-22
[Hot Air] The New York Times’ David Brooks isn’t your typical conservative. In fact, many in the movement don’t consider the columnist an ally at all. He’s of a more moderate stripe and not one to shy away from criticizing Republicans; he once called Sarah Palin a "cancer" to the party. Yet, he did voice his concern about the lack of evidence being put forward with all the Russian collusion hysteria that’s embroiled the liberal news media and the Democratic Party. Are we getting ahead of ourselves? It seems that the "politics of scandal" that the Left is so desperately trying to gin up against Trump while lacking evidence to do so is making Mr. Brooks nervous; he made it known on last Sunday’s Meet The Press. He also said that what’s been discussed isn’t Watergate reloaded:

#7  No, it is no watergate, or Ted Kennedy trying to get the Russians to help the Dems against Reagan (a treasonous bit that needs a -gate to draw attention to it).

#6  The New York Times’ David Brooks isn’t your typical conservative.

That's because he's not a conservative in any meaningful sense. Can you picture this guy changing a car tire? Can we stop with this charade now?

#5  Doesn't matter.

How long did the media beat-off to that Abu-Graib prison dead horse? 18 months of 7 x 24-hour coverage? That was a few mal-contents and some very bad leadership and they tried to make it a offense against Bush.

#4  The Dems thought they had a return to Camelot during the Obama administration. Now they are looking for a return to Watergate this administration. History doesn't repeat itself?

#3  Watergate was about employing outsiders to snoop on the Democratic Party offices in Washington. Today instead of sneaking in and planting devices, the Obama administration employed the active government offices to snoop illegally on American public citizens. That was Watergate a thousand times over.

#1  I'm always uncomfortable with the "see, even that guy we all thing is full of it the rest of the time says so!" impulse...
