Blind Willie McTell News - 7

All The News We Think You Need

This series goes back a ways (Blind Willie McTell News, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Concerning this subject matter, a piece over at Salon is a must read, so here are a few excerpts:

"For those who attended to the substance of Wednesday's congressional hearings featuring former special counsel Robert Mueller, they offered a cold, devastating reminder of how far our nation has fallen. Mueller, with his terse but honest responses to Democrats reading passages from the report that followed his investigation into Donald Trump's relationship to the Russian criminal conspiracy to hack the 2016 election, painted a devastating picture of a White House hijacked by a greedy criminal who will not hesitate to obstruct justice and betray his country for personal gain. Republicans, virtually to a person, exposed themselves as morally bankrupt lickspittles who eagerly lie and make up conspiracy theories, all to serve their orange-hued wannabe mobster of a master.

Blueprint For Genieology

On the merits, for people judging the hearings on substance, Wednesday was a devastating exposé of a situation many times worse than Watergate.

The mainstream press that regards politics more as a TV show than a matter of real world importance had a different verdict: BOOOOORING!
...
The grossness continued Thursday morning as both the Washington Post and the New York Times ran articles declaring that Mueller's inability to play to the cameras means that any hope of impeachment is probably dead.

Perhaps, in some other time, things like evidence and morality might have mattered when it comes to fundamental questions of justice. But according to modern analysts, all that really matters today is how much Emmy buzz you can generate in seven hours of testimony on Capitol Hill."

(Media declares Mueller was boring: Who cares if Trump is a criminal?). Read the entire Salon piece and join the outrage!
