Suddenly the Democrats and the media are opposed to transparency
Michael Goodwin:
...What should be disclosed is the actions of those who were participating in a treasonous coup attempt against the President. Get the facts out there and let the chip fall where they may. We already know that some were pushing a false narrative about Russian collusion by the Trump campaign. We deserve to know who was responsible for this false narrative.
But Pelosi’s “coverup” remark changed everything because of the inevitable consequences it carries. If she really believes the president is committing a crime, she has left herself no logical course except impeachment.
So Trump delivered his counterpunch, along with a volley of insults.
Democrats are not alone in being furious about the coming release of the documents. Their media handmaidens suddenly are all for keeping the secrets secret.
The New York Times reached a new low by declaring in a news story that Trump is using “the intelligence to pursue his political enemies.”
The article, by David Sanger, never entertains the possibility that Barack Obama weaponized the FBI and CIA to block Trump from becoming president, or that Comey, Brennan and others aimed to depose him.
To consider that possibility would be to practice journalism. The Times doesn’t do that anymore.
Instead, the Gray Lady has become the errand boy for the deep state. Reporters grant their law-enforcement and intelligence sources anonymity, despite that some were surely part of the conspiracy and committed crimes.
If the Times had its way, Comey would still be running the FBI and Peter Strzok and Lisa Page would be unknown to the public.
Which raises a possibility: the documents could reveal which members of the media the conspirators trusted for leaks and protection.
