5. bullshit is covering one aspect of a complex issue and leaving the rest of the story out.

You can discuss the facts of the story instead of the distraction from the story, because we can discuss anything on this board. But instead of serious discussion, too many seems to think a thread is their latest free association one-liner in relation to what the media is telling them to think about, rather than some actual in-depth thinking or atleast pointing to someone who provides something newsworthy.

How many one-liner Flynn threads are we going to have today?

The House oversight panel is asking for the documents by April 3.

Chaffetz and Cummings are requesting “that each agency produce documents relating to Flynn’s foreign contacts and payments, security clearance applications, and other related documents between the time of his retirement in 2014 to present day,” according to a committee statement.

11. Translation from the Spicerese

"Our modus operandi is to stick it to the Obama administration any way we can. That's why President Trump appointed Flynn to be National Security Adviser, because President Obama had fired him, and it could only have been because he was too Republican for his administration. Turns out Flynn got fired for another reason entirely, and nobody should allow him within a thousand miles of a position in national security. How could we have known that? It's all Obama's fault for firing Flynn in the first place, which made him an irresistible appointment. See what you made us do?"

Here's hoping the Sunday shows have a good laugh about that. Lock him up!

How the Washington press corps can sit there and treat this administration seriously eludes me. The volume of lies is never-ending.
