Carl Bernstein on Trump-Russia investigation: 'Oh my god, there's a cover-up going on"

[kpete]

Famed Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein says that the investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn could end up revealing a “cover-up” of alleged connections between President Donald Trump's team and Russia.

“There, he is central to what the FBI believes is a cover-up going on among people close to the president of the United States about what happened with the Trump campaign and Russia,” Mr Bernstein, who is now a CNN commentator, said. "The FBI, the congressional investigators are trying to learn what happened. And Flynn is almost like the ball of yarn that begins to unspool and is key to understanding it."

Mr Bernstein said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, now that he is leading the Justice Department's probe into Russia's role alleged in the election, will eventually see that there is a cover-up as well.

"He is going to see, ‘Oh my god, there’s a cover-up going on,’" Bernstein said.

1. I wonder when this zit is going to pop?

It seems to me, as a total outsider, just based on what Rachel has exposed that something would start happening to these criminals and traitors. I'm hoping that the reason we haven't is that the net being cast by authorities is broader than we know and more people will be implicated than anticipated.

I can only hope, along with many others. My cynical side is saying they will walk because they have money.

2. I would guess it is a broad scope

And before any official move is made make sure all ducks are in a row.
