| ABC TV's senior national correspondent predicts 'reckoning for progressives, Democrats ... and media' if Mueller finds no Russia collusion |
| 2019-03-12 |
| [American Thinker] The Democrats, the Deep State, and their media allies placed an enormous bet on the bespoke fantasy concocted by Fusion GPS that Donald Trump stole the 2016 election with the assistance of Russia. Now, like a poker player trying to fill an inside straight, they are concerned that the big pot they created with all that attention focused on the allegation might be lost. The many signals that the Mueller investigation soon will be public and has no evidence at all of collusion have got a lot of people worried. Will the mainstream media be able to avoid responsibility for peddling a fantasy? ABC TV's senior national correspondent Terry Moran, appearing on his network's Sunday morning political show This Week, predicted just such a "reckoning": |

| #12 I am sure Trump has been audited prior. Any re examine because he is now president should be met with an immediate court order as harassment. Maybe Pelosi and Schumer should show their taxes as good faith. |

| #11 ^ The New York state Dept. of Taxation and Finance announced a 20 year 'investigation' into Trump's tax returns. Since you generally can only go back three years to do a legitimate tax audit, there should be no doubt that this is harassment and nobody should cooperate in this unquestionably out of scope request. |

| #8 Little is now discussed or remembered about ... I'm still curious about what happened to Stormy's republican bouncer friend that sent sulfur/sugar smoke bombs to democrats before the election. |

| #7 The media has already memory holed the stories about collusion. Now it is about the demoncrats in congress digging up financial bullshit and beating Trump and his circle over the head with that. |

| #6 Leaving aside for a moment the juvenile and imbecilic notion that Tsar Vlad has the keys to the White House, is it really at all plausible that in the hypothetical event Mueller had found actual evidence that he would not have said something? You know, 'Hey look at all this written evidence, I better just wait until the final write up.' I really don't think so, and the process indictments don't suggest a strong case either. As far as a reckoning goes... |

| #5 Beso & TW, behold the power of AND. Will the mainstream media be able to avoid responsibility for peddling a fantasy? Yes. Can the politicians? That's not quite so sure. |

| #4 Or - the scandalous DRT distraction accomplished it's mission. Little is now discussed or remembered about Clinton 'Uranium One', classified data, or email communication irregularities. At this point, what difference does it make ? |

| #3 They've either actually seen the report (which wouldn't be surprising) or they've gotten a summary (more likely)...and it says there's nothing there. Or — and this is what I believe — they always knew there was nothing there, but as long as the rubes were eager to vote for it they’d sell ‘em 100% steak-free sizzle. |

| #2 ...Interestingly, yesterday Speaker Pelosi said that she wasn't pursuing impeachment because "he wasn't worth it." And a few hours later, REP Adam Schiff, who has been one of the biggest boosters for going after the President, said bluntly that impeachment was a bad idea as long as the GOP held the Senate. The comments and their proximity to one another was no accident. They've either actually seen the report (which wouldn't be surprising) or they've gotten a summary (more likely)...and it says there's nothing there. The media will cover for them - or flatly ignore it, which is effectively the same thing - but they're going to take a hit, especially as DJT ain't gonna let 'em forget it... Mike |
