    Interesting how many of these stories are breaking post-election.

    I remember when the NYT sat on a story for over a year for the sake of the Bush administration, it was the original NSA wiretapping story whose fallout would lead Snowden to his path to leaking.

    Anyway, that’s the first thing that’s coming to mind here, how much it seems like the media ownership wants to rub in our faces how badly they really did screw us behind our backs and how little we can do now by waiting to dump this kind of stuff once it effectively doesn’t matter and our government has been completely taken by conmen.

    Media executives right now:

    "Though the inspector general’s office said it did not find evidence that any officials, even career officials, raised concerns at the time, the report said current and former officials more recently described the press release as “unusual and inappropriate.”

    Well there it is. Of course the response is going to be “Naturally the BiDeN FbI would say that now!” :/

    You mean like the FBI did in 2016? Tell everyone they are re-opening their “investigation” into Hillary’s buttery males, but not mention that donvict was under investigation, too?

      Speak for yourself! I’m going to die without dignity and snivelling in fear. I’m just waiting for that knock for my Jewish ass or my Indian wife’s.
