This is a blog and not a news site but the author has some good points about the direction of American Politics. Here's a short quote from Scott Adams:
"Today’s headline news is that an alleged Comey memo indicates President Trump tried to obstruct justice in the Flynn investigation by saying to Comey in a private meeting, “I hope you can let this go.”
Key word = hope
How did the New York Times characterize Trump’s expression of hope? Do you see Trump asking Comey to end the Flynn investigation in the quote “I hope you can let this go”? All I see in that sentence is “duh.” Obviously Trump HOPED his friend and advisor Flynn would be okay. Did it need to be said? Was there some confusion on this point with Comey? Did Comey enter the meeting thinking maybe President Trump wanted to see his friend and advisor Flynn get eaten by the system?
I’m no lawyer, but I can’t see any judge or jury in the United States prosecuting someone for expressing a hope that the future turns out well for his friend. Watch the headlines and pundits today transmogrify “hope” into “asked Flynn to end the investigation.”
That isn’t news.
That is an assassination."

For the rare and perfect use of "transmogrify", you earn the RP literary award for today! Great point...I also read his "hopeful" comment and recognized immediately this will come to nothing.

I promise, this will be the last time I use this video from Andrew Klavan as a response to a discussion on RP. But really it is the perfect answer to so many of these things. https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/ [login to see] 215456/
