I get that there's blood in the water on this Comey memo

But has the media completely moved on from the Russian Intel disaster? Obstruction of justice is really bad but fucking around with our national security should never just be brushed aside.

With a new one arising every day, it's getting difficult remembering how many impeachable offenses we're up to by now.

And I agree that ultimately they are parts of the same story. From an investigative point of view they are parts of a whole. It just struck me watching the news tonight, that from a media point of view everyone seems to have moved on from what I think is a bigger and more immediate concern.

If you mean the media, which is what I'm talking about, that rarely seems to be the case.

but then, leakers to Wash Post brought media back to the Russian WH meeting with more scandal and lying from WH, then focus on that today shifted dramatically back to the Comey scandal and probably Trump lying and denying.

Perhaps more shoes to drop and probably additional media attention back to the Trump/Russians in WH leak even though this Comey scandal is full steam ahead where Congressional hearings are inevitable.
