‘Stakes as high as stakes are now’
What exactly does that mean???

It means, "If we keep getting caught lying, it's going to seriously undermine our jihad against Donald Trump."

“Correction: During a live Special Report, ABC News reported that a confidant of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said Flynn was prepared to testify that then-candidate Donald Trump instructed him to contact Russian officials during the campaign. That source later clarified that during the campaign, Trump assigned Flynn and a small circle of other senior advisers to find ways to repair relations with Russia and other hot spots. It was shortly after the election, that President-elect Trump directed Flynn to contact Russian officials on topics that included working jointly against ISIS.

Let me correct the correction.

During a live Special Report, ABC News reported that a confidant of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said Flynn was prepared to testify that then-candidate Donald Trump instructed him to contact Russian officials during the campaign, that was a lie.

That source later “clarified” that he never said that during the campaign, Trump instructed Flynn to contact the Russians, Ross made that part up.

It was shortly after the election, SHORTLY after???? What you meant to say was that AFTER THE ELECTION, when Trump was President Elect, that it was perfectly legal and “prudent” to contact the Russians.

Brian Ross should never work again! Maybe as a short order cook or Walmart greeter.

Not good enough. ABC needs to lose it FCC licenses. They are simply untrustworthy to broadcast over the national airwaves.

Agree that the liberal press sticks to the safe stuff: attacking Republicans.

Another point is the relentless emphasis on “investigative journalism” — or “my sole job of as a journalist is to take down a politician, a government department or business” ala Woodward and Bernstein.

Or really? Why not explanatory journalism? — particularly when it comes to business reporting. Sure, there are things being done wrong in business. But journalists lack balance: they spend hardly any time explaining what’s right with an American business — large or small. Well, it’s no wonder the public views corporations with disdain.

In reality corporations are merely “cooperations” — networks composed of tens or thousands of people both inside and outside an organization who work together to Make America Great Again!

My wife gets Japanese TV and there are splendid TV shows that look inside innovative or interesting companies in that country. They do a documentary piece on what those companies are about. Marvelous television — and it moves the MAJA agenda — Make Japan Great Again.

Meanwhile, on America’s Today Show we get our daily dose of political shtick and celebrity news — from Matt Lauer.

If we keep getting caught lying, it's going to seriously undermine our jihad against Donald Trump.

Listening to Rush today. Deceptive FBI in their interview with Flynn. Flynn was blind sided and had no idea this was official and no ability to call his attorney.

Changing the tag befitting the times in which we live.

On the subject of ABC-News......what about George Stephanpolous? He'd better be next.

(HAT TIP PUBLIUS911)----Lost in the confusion and noise is the real event everyone seems to have forgotten: LED BY HILLARY, the Clintons' war on women army (paid for by taxpayers) lasted 8 years! and did nothing else!

ABC-TV anchor Georgio----then Bill's aide----was commandeered to head Hillary's Bombo Eruption Team.

THE WHITE HOUSE OLD WEST WING "BIMBO WAR ROOM" CREATED BY HILLARY, WAS STAFFED WITH A DOZEN TAXPAYER-PAID "INVESTIGATORS" WITH THE EXCLUSIVE TASK OF INVESTIGATING AND DESTROYING WILLIE'S WOMEN---HILLARY CALLED THEM BIMBO ERUPTIONS.

Has Hillary been asked about that? If not, why not?

Remember, Bill knew it was all true....but he allowed our tax dollars to be extorted for Hillary's vengeful war on willy's women.....and to save her political ***.

========================================

Taxpayers demand Congress call Hillary and these staffers to account for their demeaning-anti-women activity paid for by taxpayers.

=================================

FREEPER ACTION --- Contact Cong Jim Jordan---he is heavily pushing for a Clinton investigation regarding fraud, emails, perjury, Uranium One, bribes, the Clinton Foundation, etc.

Good riddance smug, elite Brian Ross.

Watch ABC's evening news with David Muir. He sits across the anchor desk reporting breathlessly on some Trump related story with the smug expression, you mention, most evening. He won't be getting much face time with Muir if he can't report on Trump. Brian Ross is a short timer at ABC.

People who watch/rely-on these “news” organizations for truth must be lunatics.

Boy, it’s one thing after another. If Trump can get the tax bill passed, he’s sitting real pretty for 2018 and 2020.

Amazing what he’s done so far. I can begin to see what he meant by, “you’re going to get tired of winning.” LOL!

Having a president with a great sense of humor is another big plus!

OMG, the BIMBO war room!

Hey, I’ve got an idea for a new wax museum in DC. Somebody assembles the cast of Hillary accomplices in separate rooms of the museum.

And the idea is to reenact famous rooms in Hillary’s past. The Bimbo War room, the Travelgate office where all the files were stolen, and so forth. The wax figures will quite a bit.

And the proceeds will fund the Hillary for Prison campaign!

Scott Goldberg, ABC Radio News announcer, said a well known American supports Trumps retweets of the Britain First videos of Muslim crimes.

Who was the important American? (Goldberg paused) David Duke.

Goldberg manipulates the news to editorialize by associating Trump with David Duke.

Goldston permits that kind of hyper-partisan left wing reporting.

I believe you nailed it. Goldston went on to fake news while covering the J6 show trials.
