The Clintons had those 85+ FBI files and used them to avoid Senate impeachment. Probably lots and lots of juicy info on our honorable Senators. Glenn got rewarded with another space ride. Really principled guy, NOT!
It would be a mistake to assume that Republican Senators would have convicted but stopped short due to threats.
Instead the culture of Washington privilege is ingrained in them as in their Democrat counterparts. They told the House Managers that they wouldn’t view the special evidence files set up for them and they wouldn’t convict. Guys like Stevens were adamant that this was their consensus.
Continues still today, with the ongoing cover-up of Obama/Soetoro/Dunham/Bounel.
“Harrison Bounel”
That’s one I had to Google, to refresh my memory.
Wow, the 0bummer-criminal’s trail is long, convoluted scrubbed and sanitized.
I suspect we’ll never know The Truth, about him.
Getting scooped is exactly what should happen to “objective” journalists who elect to spike an obviously significant story.Of course, getting scooped implies competition. And it is no accident, comrade, that Newsweek was scooped by an internet site. The Associated Press newswire is a continuous, 24/7 virtual “meeting” of all the large journalism outlets. The result of that “meeting” is precisely as Adam Smith would have predicted:
"People of the same trade seldom meet together even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public or some contrivance to raise prices."The effect of continuous meeting is of course a complete absence of ideological competition amongst journalists. You can have all the independence you want among editorial pages, and still have no ideological competition among the “objective” reporters.The reason wire service journalism - grievously misnamed “the MSM” - is socialist is actually quite simple. In order to not be socialist, you must respect “the man in the arena” above “the critic.” All socialist rhetoric actually boils down to the conceit that criticism is superior to execution. Surprisingly enough, journalists - who after all consider it their job to report bad news and ignore the good - want to criticize everyone else’s execution. But let them - and note well, Lenin and Mussolini were both journalists - obtain power, and suddenly criticism of their execution is uncalled for, because their motives are above questioning.
