Very soon, the WSJ’s Opinion Writers have to decide whether they are a vanguard of American democracy or craven tribal accomplices [00] http://goo.gl/4cPAFq to Trump’s [19] http://goo.gl/u5HkDz Treason. [28] http://goo.gl/05mrui
This is a *small* @ start: [29] 2216. “A President’s Credibility > Trump’s falsehoods are eroding public trust, at home and abroad.” by the Editors (WSJ, 3/22/2017): http://goo.gl/jBT2xe
@ “WSJ owner Rupert Murdoch is dealing with fallout in the U.K. from the White House parroting anonymously-sourced claims on Murdoch-owned Fox News that British intelligence helped wiretap Trump.” [30] http://goo.gl/ME4tVX
This WSJ Opinion’s [33] http://goo.gl/Zw85dz use of “Joe McCarthy” as Trump did in his *impeachable* wiretap claim is a preview of the utter garbage in its contents. (McCarthy’s aide, Roy Cohn, was Trump’s mentor. [19] http://goo.gl/u5HkDz )
The Benghazi Witch Hunt lasted 853 days and wasn’t reeking of shoe drops *every* *week*. Feinstein and Grassley were briefed privately by Comey. Here’s Feinstein’s reaction. [32] http://goo.gl/YPCHO7
For Cui Bono, read on. One hopes a WSJ Opinion writer as obtuse as this one would react as *any* *patriotic* American would.
Reactions to Comey’s hearing:

– Financial Times: [1] http://goo.gl/7nyBrU
– Noah Feldman: [26] http://bv.ms/2n4xVsE
– LawFare: “[T]here’s a significant investigation going on, and Comey doesn’t want either Congress or presidential tweets to impede his conduct of it.” [0] http://goo.gl/hhPDsO

Trump’s agenda [3] http://goo.gl/SMoKFy and Putin’s [16] http://goo.gl/OtH9D9 are loudly [22] http://goo.gl/hy2pnr puzzlingly [2] http://goo.gl/JwTYTJ aligned. [1] http://goo.gl/7nyBrU
The Steele Dossier’s most treasonously [5] http://goo.gl/iPEJvl damning [4] http://goo.gl/U0C1wj elements [15] http://goo.gl/OtH9D9 have been verified except for the quo of the Rosneft quid pro quo.
The Tillerson state department state of affairs is pointing towards the lifting of Russia sanctions and a merger of Trump-Putin kleptocrats.

Except for Trump’s tribe, the whole Trump-Putin affair is obviously treasonous:

“It might be because Mr Trump is trying to divert attention from the fact that his campaign did actively collude with the Kremlin to influence the US election. Such a discovery would be bigger than Watergate and could result in his impeachment and removal from office.” [31] http://goo.gl/UnSE0X
“After Monday, we also know this: two months after taking office, Mr Trump has implicitly been branded a fantasist by the heads of America’s largest law enforcement agency and its largest intelligence agency.” [31] http://goo.gl/UnSE0X
“”That’s why – almost without exception – authoritarian nations have weak foreign ministries. Russia conducts foreign policy from the Kremlin, not from the often overruled ministry of foreign affairs. Or consider China, which is ruled by a 25-member body, the Politburo, and especially by the seven-member Politburo standing committee.”” [17] http://trib.al/993Jupw
