2. I heard that segment and was suprised at how aggressive I thought Tapper was. But Schiff did

3. Schiff said he has seen no facts presented to justify reopening of Clinton investigations

While Tapper is not satisfied because Schiff can't provide proof that no new facts have arisen and acting like Schiff ought to be chasing down this rabbit hole to find out why Clinton investigations are being reopened, as if Schiff's logical conclusion of WH pressure isn't enough.


Reminds me of how media went on a wild goose chase wasting time questioning government officials for weeks over Trump's diversionary false claims of Obama wiretapping him, only to finally conclude there was no factual basis but merely Trump tweets spurred on by rightwing media.

5. It is an impossible standard to prove facts don't exist

Example

"I think Hillary shot this man."

"She didn't she doesn't even own a gun"

"Prove she has never owned a gun"

"Well we searched her house and nothing is registered in her name"

"Maybe she stole one. Track down and account for ever lost and stolen Gun. Ever."

"Well... I couldn't possibly. That would take forever."

"Then she's guilty"

This is how I feel when I see someone demanding that it be proven that new evidence doesn't exist.

...there probably is evidence of collusion, but Mueller hasn't released it YET. Is the right wing expecting Mueller to conduct a pod cast every night reviewing what he found each day?

Oh, there's evidence alright, and they all know it, which is why they're scared shitless and going on the attack.

shows ample evidence of a conspiracy to commit various crimes. What Mueller is doing is trying to prove how criminal their intent was.

...trump did so during his ass-licking session with that cabal of old white men (and one old white woman) who were plotting our future in secret at Camp David.

she got the gun through a donation from the Clinton Foundation from her representative in Benghazi, who was hiding out there because he was Hillary's lover who killed Vince Foster when Foster discovered Hillary was smuggling child sex slaves through the basement of a pizza restaurant. Don't you get it?

....and pointless diatribe by Miller in the previous segment. That was ridiculous, Miller didn't let Tapper get a single question in without interrupting and spouting his script of talking points.
