That primal scream you hear is me yelling to the universe,
Hillary Clinton was right about everything.
And our media laughed at her, chastised her and accused her of trying to distract the media from covering her emails.
So now, we have in black and white, in the nation's "paper of record," reporting that not only is Russia being investigated for interfering in our election and whether the Trump campaign conspired with them, but whether Donald Trump himself has been functioning as a Russian agent from the beginning. The media, too lazy to actually do journalism (because, let's face it, all the stuff that was out in the public sphere--changing the RNC platform to benefit Russia, Jared trying to establish a non-American-based back channel to Russia immediately, giving the Russian ambassador classified information in the Oval Office, the private Helsinki meeting, surprising our Defense Department by stating we were pulling out of Syria, et al., was pretty obvious prima facie case that he was on Putin's payroll) decided to normalize this president and gas light Americans just as much as the Trump administration has.
So today is their opportunity. Today they can hold politicians accountable.
It's not hyperbole to say that national security is at great risk if the Fourth Estate does not do their job. We need to have these lawmakers and influences state once and for all: what loyalties to they hold: to America or to Trump and Russia?
