The article had almost nothing to do with Trump and almost everything to do with the Constitutional issues involved in prosecuting a sitting POTUS for criminal infractions. As for Trump as it was for Nixon...we need to know if the president is a crook. I know. I read the article. As I pointed out in another post it was the *headline* of the article, and it's very obvious timing. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

I thought the headline was inquisitive and neutral. |

- show quoted text - Well, I think your "take" on the headline of the article in question is incorrect. I thought the headline was inquisitive and neutral. .... Harry, you're probably correct about it, but "John Q. Public" looks at it as being guilty of "something" and it doesn't matter what. Also it's a question not a headline, which leads to a false pretense of guilt or a wrong doing. False narrative? |

Public" reads any serious newspapers, whether the paper or the on-line edition. My take and the take of my seriously liberal friends is that there is no evidence generally available -yet- that says that Donald Trump has committed any serious crimes since the election, although there are suspicions he has obstructed justice. Can't say the same for some of his high-level staffers. Trump has said a lot of really stupid things and has taken some horrific actions, but...these are political decisions, and not criminal. |

Journalism nowadays has taken on the National Enquirer style of misleading readers. That right there is the truth. And, the major media has adopted the grocery line style of headlines. |

They've been on the hunt since last November. Anything they can toss at the wall is news fit to print apparently. |
