What will this one be?!
And what will Eichenwald say when accepting his Pulitzer? "There were some giant news craters to fill?"

(21,056 posts)anything they can think of and bringing up new email allegations. However, hoping I'm way off and he has something new!
I think someone will provide some light on Donald's past. What bothers me is that there are so many women who are churchgoers who are probably still going to vote for him despite his obvious and blatant misogyny and foul comments. I don't know what it would take to make these people say, "Okay, I am not voting for him", or if they can't vote for her, just not vote at all. I know some are like that, but not enough. If the bottom fell out of his female support which is around 35-40%, then he'd lose every tossup state, including Arizona and Georgia. But, something big has got to come out where he's just being so repulsive beyond acting like a frat with Billy Bush while admitting he forces contact.

(44,173 posts)But while both of Eichenwald's stories on Trump have been thorough and well-researched, they didn't exactly set the tv media on fire, and were forgotten within about a day.

(23,525 posts)was great investigative reporting. But, it pretty much just stays there on the WaPo. tv just doesn't care.
I'm thinking whatever he has investigated won't make it to tv either. We just have to keep sharing this info.

(5,048 posts)The corporate hacks have reverted to all Trump all the time, so will any of the on-air "talent" bother to even mention any anti-Trump journalism? I have my doubts...

I'm very annoying that this orange heap of air is saying the criminal investigation is reopened. He is living proof that the 1st amendment is alive and well.

(2,795 posts)The women that come forward this week were a non-issue for the media. This has to be something better. I'd love some copies of actual documentation of Russian loans or a recording of Trump soliciting a prostitute. Or those tax returns!

(67,104 posts)totally shocking so many Americans support him. Is nearly half this country like Trump! Is this really what Americans are like now the cover has been stripped off.
This election is shocking. I can understand people voting for Bush, but this guy Trump is incredible. I really think America is descending into the SH**hole of Idiocracy with so many adoring Trump fans and his cast of Deplorables. Hillary hit it right on the first time she called them Deplorables. These, are the people one hopes to somehow avoid in life.
I can understand some liking some of what he says, but the total package is a shocking disaster. He's literally America's 21st century Hitler! Just WTF is wrong with about half of America. FFS, what am I even doing here.

(1,493 posts)Most likely they'll still be all over the Comey-con story.
Divine Discontent
(21,056 posts)that's why I tempered hopes above, because we've all been so hopeful for things to come out to go along with all the women saying he did this or that to them, but nothing else has. As we know, many people ignore people's claims of being sexually harassed or worse, and so there'll need to be something more concrete to really put a dent of 5% in his support.

Farmgirl1961
(1,493 posts)I can't wait!! All of us can't wait. Question is...will the M$M pick it up? I guess it will depend on how juicy of a story it is. I know that all the other stories put out there didn't get the kind of traction that we all would have hoped.

(29,199 posts)At some point in the past Trump contacted one of his many sexual assault victims, possibly even the underage girl who he allegedly raped... and offered them money to keep quiet.
At that point, the victim recorded the conversation with Donald himself... and it's about to get real for Donald and his "I never met any of them" defense.

(44,173 posts)Probably his story is the product of many weeks and months of careful research, making a Comey story unlikely.
If it's Eichenwald, it likely concerns Trump financial/business/tax misdeeds.
Madam45for2923
(7,178 posts)Makes sense!

(9,110 posts)We have known about this, but Comey has been shielding that connection. Hopefully, the damn will burst.
