So, the tRump administration is running around with their hair on fire because Donnie Jr. took a meeting to discuss adopted children with “somebody from Russia”. The MSM has also joined the fray with talking heads, ad nauseum jumping in on the BREAKING NEWS of the day, hour, moment….you get my drift. What I find remarkably absent from the narrative is the obvious question of “Why would he meet to talk about adoption”, as that is the excuse/reason of the hour? I could chase this down the rabbit hole and never emerge without writing a blog that would be so long no one would have the time to read it so I will just pose a few questions:
1) Did numb-nuts ever wonder why a Russian adoption meeting would even be relevant?
2) Wouldn’t you think he might ask someone or at least google the subject?
3) IF (and that’s a big if) he did google it, do you think he would have the intellectual curiosity to look into the provisions? Hint: it wasn’t just because some kid died of heat exhaustion in 2002 that had been adopted from Russia.
4) Even if he still bought into the original pitch for the meeting, why would he have to have Jethro and uncle Pauly there with him? Was that important to them too?
5) If this was indeed a “nothing-burger” as was later stated, then why the monumental time delay in reporting it?
6) Which leads to the next question of why is it that the WH lawyers had this for 3 weeks and weren’t going to say anything about it until is became an article in the newspaper?
7) Why is it that the ONLY people in Washington that think having an undisclosed meeting with a foreign agent is no biggie are associated with 45 or his minions?
Look. I could continue forever, but I think that you get my drift. The whole song and dance surrounding this story is, as is almost everything surrounding this administration and the Republican controlled Congress, a lie. A lie.
My disappointment with MSM is the lack of depth to the narrative. Taking every glittering object that gets flashed before them and taking that as the main story and running with it. To paraphrase Michelle Obama, when they show flash, we go deep. Resist.
