I want to actually believe the hair on my neck is they have been two hopping Cohen off of the Page title 1 and just never stopped. They never would have to justify it unless they were going to use it in a court proceedings. But someone spoke out of turn. I'm betting Whoever told what to whom gay some serious backlash so the crawfished the story and I'm betting they back it up even more before it's done.
Fine. Reporters need to have their feet held to the fire, regardless. Let that serve as a "chilling" moment for them for once.
Mary Mapes should have been jailed over RatherGate, instead she browbeat her elderly sick source to confess he lied to her, so she would be saved. Even in the white-washed movie version, that fact was evident. Point being if she were jailed for contempt right away, she and Rather couldn't have done that.
Sorry, I'm pissed about how our civil liberties are being trampled in an arbitrary and capricious manner. Rosenstein looks the worse here because he let Mueller manipulate the SDNY.
