(9,985 posts)What is the fucking point? Does Todd really think Lewandowski isn't going to spew obvious lying bullshit in response to every question?

(54,770 posts)That is one of the problems with this whole Russian deal. The GOPers went way to far and certainly benefited more, but I don't think we can claim total innocence.

That is one reason I don't think trump will ever be convicted, no matter what Mueller uncovers. First lots of people will just chalk it up to politics as usual. If it goes to a jury, there will be at least one white winger who won't convict. If it goes to Congress, we'll never get the votes in the Senate needed to convict.
Not the way I want it to end, but I've had a hard time being optimistic since Fitzgerald flopped.

Lets get caught up in Lying Lewandowskis game of false equivalences and misdirection.

(762 posts)In fact, he shouldn't even be called a journalist. At most, he is a host. His both-siderism, repeatedly allowing questionable guests, like Conway and Lewandowski, on his show, and his spineless acquiescence of RW talking points.
