I don’t agree that this is a ploy by the GOP with the aim of softening blow of potential charges against Trump or associates. At all. Vox is a pinko Trump hating site. And clinging to the DEBUNKED torture thing with the new CIA head lady. Vox sucks majorly.
Titles of some headlines to the right of the linked article:
“Trump’s Corrupt Firing of Andrew McCabe”
“James Mattis is Linked to a Massive Corporate Fraud And Nobody Wants to Talk About it”
“The hearings for Trump’s CIA pick should prompt a reckoning with torture”
Neither do I. I posted the excerpt for the humor value. These people are nuts. And stupid.
Once in awhile I find raw material linked from Vox, HuffPo, DailyBeast - but other than that, they are, like CNN, "incredible!"
You are right about Vox.
