Will she grant concessions to every crook just because she thinks they are embarrassed for being caught? I hope the appeal goes quickly to show her stupidity. Turmp doesn't need help in ruining his reputations, he's done a great job of that all by himself. How ridiculous and stupid she looks.

If that were the case, nobody - robbers, murderers, embezzlers, drug kingpins, etc. - would ever be convicted - because it might make them "look bad??"

to view the new and improved network. It had John Yoo or Loo I forget, the torture guy on. He said that DOJ shouldn't even consider prosecuting Trump for just "mishandling" classified documents. I turned it off.

It is really hard, in the greatest, wealthiest, country on the planet, to get the news straight.

Just when we finally figured we got rid of TFG dominating the news, breaking news is now about the latest crimes he's committed and/or previous crimes catching up with him.

I mostly watch MSNBC and post a lot of what I watch here. I don't watch everything, either, but if I'm home in time I watch "prime time," usually starting with Nicolle Wallace and like all the shows/hosts that come after that. I haven't turned on CNN News in years. Back in 2005 they cut away from John Kerry speaking live before the Senate to switch to a taped RWer, "for balance," they said. That was enough for me, though I remember liking Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper and Fredricka Whitfield - IIRC, her Dad was a Tuskegee Airman.
