I feel like his comments could taint the jury pool and make it impossible for this guy to get a fair trial so he could end up walking free.
The Manson defendants nearly were granted a mistrial over Nixon’s remarks on the case, which were FAR less extreme than this. They smuggled in a newspaper that said had a headline declaring them guilty, held it up, and chanted something like “The President says we’re guilty, why go on?”
This feels like the preamble to Clovis declining the nomination. I guess (?) it’s face saving to admit you shouldn’t have been nominated in the first place.
Yesterday, Jake Tapper went IN on Fox News, tweeting multiple tweets about how Sean Hannity is a liar, attacking Sebastian Gorka who was on Hannity’s show, and pointing out that Fox had to delete tweets that Tapper had proved were false. I posted one in yesterday’s thread, but scrolling through now, I see that was the tip of the iceberg.
Tapper is now getting attacked by the deplorable army.
It’s worth scrolling through his feed for his late afternoon/evening tweets of yesterday.
Also, Maggie Haberman is currently feuding with WP reporters on Twitter over her willingness to believe Trump.
I stopped respecting her reporting months back. Well, I shouldn't say "stopped respecting" because I do think sometimes she gets it right. but I think she either tries too hard to "both sides" an issue, or she tries too hard to salvage Trump's image, even partly, in order to keep access. Like the WaPo story about Trump fuming in the White House? that just rings true. Look at his tweets. Look at his personality. We all know he wasn't calm and just ignoring the news of the indictments. So when she writes an article about how the White House was very calm, because Trump called her to tell her things were calm, it feels.......off.

I did see that Jason Chaffetz apologized, which I found kind of interesting.

I'm in Virginia and the negative campaign ads attacking Northam are all I see. They are so patently fear-mongering it's enraging, and I am full of spite for the people dumb enough to fall for it - but clearly there are plenty of them. WHY don't the Dems ever play nasty?! I mean, I don't LIKE it but it obviously works and at this point, the end justifies the means. I am so so nervous about next week.

I’ve seen some nasty anti-Gillespie ones but you’re right that Gillespie is in the gutter and has been there a long time. He’s tightened up the polls with the Trump playbook.
Based on the idiotic shit the Trumpf clan does out in the open and the speed of Mueller and company's investigation, I'm guessing the skeletons were mostly sticking out in plain site. Not so much digging to do.
