The Washington press corps seems engaged in a collective demonstration of the legal concept of willful blindness, or deliberately ignoring facts, following the release of yet another declassified document that directly refutes past statements about the Russia collusion investigation. The document shows the FBI used a security briefing of then candidate Donald Trump and top aides to gather possible evidence for Crossfire Hurricane, its code name for the Russia investigation.
What is astonishing is that the media has refused to see what should be one of the biggest stories in decades. The Obama administration targeted the campaign of the opposing party based on false evidence.

What is astonishing is that the media has refused to see what should be one of the biggest stories in decades. Is it not willful blindness, nor is it deliberately ignoring the facts: the media was a FULL BLOWN WILLING PARTICIPANTin the whole process and worked with the Democrats to bring down Trump. They know what they did. CNN was present when SWAT raided Roger Stone's house! The false evidence the Obama Admin used to target Trumps campaign was never questioned by the media, it was always front and center as if it were Gospel Truth. The enemedia is an arm of the Radical Left, today's Democrat Party. Only now, because Trump the Outsider is President, and not just some Republican RINO like Bush who worked with the Dems to undercut the US people, hey have removed their masks and we see them truly now as they really are. Radicals who hate the US Constitution and want to overthrow the country by dividing us along racial, sexual, political lines. ANYTHING to gain power-even letting our own cities burn and letting criminals off scott-free, just to keep the country on edge right up until Election Day.

Let us wait until after the election to pursue this. The media won’t give it the attention it deserves. We need to hammer issues that concern the voters.
Bring back the bill of rights
Remind people about our freedoms and what we are in danger of losing because we allow select groups to have more rights than others
My priorities are
provide for my family.
Educate my family
school choice
Is my family safe
Do I have good affordable healthcare
Will I be forced to participate in things that are against my religion.
Tort reform
I am not concerned about protecting the rights of the thugs hell bent on destroying all that we have done that makes America the best country in the world
antifa and BLM do not speak for my values.

Jonathan Turkey knows how corrupt Little 0bie and the demonrats were and are - - and yet - - he still remains a devoted demonrat - - and will probably vote for Biden.
Until Turkey starts wearing a MAGA hat - - I don't care what he writes or says.

Obviously, due to the lack of prosecutions of the coup plotters, media folks, and Democrat politicians, this is acceptable practice in Washington DC.
Therefore, the Trump administration should be about ready to launch Crossfire Idiots against the Biden campaign for their collaboration with somebody, heck i dont know. Maybe St. Kitts & Nevis. We'll find somebody.
Sarcasm key now off.

It would be perfect timing if on Tuesday, the day before AG Barr is to testify in the House, that there are criminal indictments and arrests.
Or, maybe during his testimony would be even better.

They are trying to protect the most divisive president in the history of America, Obama. He was against law and order when it came to black criminals and they heard and understood his message. Now see what we got as his legacy. Now his savant Biden is running for the same office and he must not be elected.

Two points:
1. Turley knows that, as a registered dem, his criticism against the Obie administration and against candidate Biden cannot be sidestepped as "partisan" mudslinging. He would distracted by scorn and derision from his colleagues at the Georgetown University law school if he announced he were a registered republican. He's on firm ground in making his case against the dems and the MSM, the swamp, and all of Washington know it. So the MSM chooses to ignore him. Until he announces it, no one knows how Turley will vote in November.
2. I suspect that Durham will reveal indictments before the election. That should stir things up. But it will take months to bring the indicted defendants to trial. There's plenty of time after the indictments to consider changes in the law, but only if the Republicans hold the White House and the Senate, and gain a majority in the House, seizing the speakership from San Fran Nan..
