Politico published a jaw-dropping, meticulously sourced investigative piece this week detailing how the Obama administration had secretly undermined US law enforcement agency efforts to shut down an international drug-trafficking ring run by the terror group Hezbollah. The effort was part of a wider push by the administration to placate Iran and ensure the signing of the nuclear deal.
Now swap out Trump for Obama and Russia for Iran and imagine the eruption these revelations would generate. Because, by any conceivable journalistic standard, this scandal shouldve triggered widespread coverage and been plastered on front pages across the country. By any historic standard, the scandal should elicit outrage regarding the corrosion of governing norms from pundits and editorial boards. Yet, as it turns out, theres an exceptionally good chance most of your neighbors and colleagues havent heard anything about it.
Days after the news broke, in fact, neither NBC News, ABC News nor CBS News whose shows can boast a collective 20 million viewers had been able to find the time to relay the story to its sizeable audiences. Other than Fox News, cable news largely ignored the revelations as well.

Watergate x10 power
There’s no pretense around media bias any longer. It’s all out in the open, unashamed and unapologetic.
Probably because the so-called “news” media is merely a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.
and it would be a deafining Constant Scream were they able tie it to a GOP.
Sorry David Harsanyi but the only outrage liberals feel is rage that conservative Americans are allowed to live.
they won’t be silent much longer- they will be forced to run to obama’s defense- sessions has apparently ordered an investigation
the problem is it’s never a deafening constant scream when republicans are the ones doing the investigation- republicans should be breathlessly running this day and night just like the dems do to us to get as much exposure and publicity for the investigation as possible- force the liberals to try to defend it like they forced the republicans to defend trump
The left is already screaming foul that talk radio and FNC brought this up in the first place (and apparently shouldn't have?).
“republicans should be breathlessly running this day”
On the Republican owned newspaper, radio and TV stations? They might be doing that, but like a tree falling in the forest...
That image describes Care at a VA Hospital
There’s a whole lotta treason goin’ on out there.

(1) The secret billion dollar Iran deal that included pallets of cash and gold bars....(2) the uranium deal, and, (3) the State Dept's Muslim Engagement activities....(as just three examples) undermines the safety and security of Americans and their families. More than likely, hidden in these documents are Obama's transmitting billions of tax dollars to his pals.....some very dangerous foreign despots.
Note that the documents taken are listed by pathological liar Hillary......AND IS TOTALLY UNVERIFIABLE.

Clinton Struck Deal With Obama State Dept. to Keep Records Private
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 12/14/17 | Jack Heretik

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton struck a deal with the State Department while serving in the Obama administration that allowed her to take ownership of records she did not want made public, according to recently released reports.
Clinton and her then-deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin were permitted to remove electronic and physical records under a claim they were "personal" materials and "unclassified, non-record materials."
Judicial Watch made the revelation after filing a FOIA request with the State Department and obtaining a record of the agreement.
The newly released documents show the deal allowed Clinton and Abedin to remove documents related to particular calls and schedules, and the records would not be "released to the general public under FOIA."
The released records included a list of designated materials that "would not be released to the general public under FOIA" and were to be released "to the Secretary with this understanding."
<><> Her aide, Human Abedin, was allowed to secretly remove electronic records and five boxes of physical files, including files labeled "Muslim Engagement Documents."
<><> Electronic copy of "daily files" which are word versions of public documents and non-records: speeches/press statements/photos from the website, a non-record copy of the schedule, a non record copy of the call log, press clips, and agenda of daily activities
<><> Electronic copy of a log of calls the Secretary made since 2004, it is a non-record, since her official calls are logged elsewhere (official schedule and official call log) Electronic copy of the Secretarys "call grid" which is a running list of calls she wants to make (both personal and official)
<><> 16 boxes: Personal Schedules (1993 thru 2008-prior to the Secretarys tenure at the Department of State (unverifiable).
<><> 29 boxes: Miscellaneous Public Schedules during her tenure as FLOTUS and Senator-prior to the Secretarys tenure at the Department of State
<><> 1 box: Personal Reimbursable receipts (6/25/2009 thru 1/14/2013) 1 box: Personal Photos 1 box: Personal schedule (2009-2013)
<><> A physical file of "the log of the Secretarys gifts with pictures of gifts" was also handed over to Clinton. Gifts received by government employees is highly regulated, and often strictly limited. However, gifts that are "motivated by a family relationship or personal friendship" may be accepted without limitation.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton released a statement condemning the agreement between the government and Clinton. "We already know the Obama State Department let Hillary Clinton steal and then delete her government emails, which included classified information. But these new records show that was only part of the scandal," Fitton said. "These new documents show the Obama State Department had a deal with Hillary Clinton to hide her calls logs and schedules, which would be contrary to FOIA and other laws."
"When are the American people going to get an honest investigation of the Clinton crimes?" he added.
Holder should also be made to talk, sing, yodel, whatever.
fox has yet to even start sounding the alarms on the issue- a fee mentions, but they should be running it every day- having people on breathlessly calling for investigations, declaring that the corruption on the left is rampant etc-
My point is hte right doesn’t sound the alarms like the left does- (Yes i know there is more msm on the left-) we tend to get info like this and run it a few days and then droop it and move onto other issues- demos never ever drop it- The left know how to alarm the public to the point that they think the world is ending- the right- not so much-
