It will mos likely fade away as did Fast & Furious. If the MSM does not jump on it and flog it to death as they did Watergate and Iran arms it will not affect much at all. Everyone has heard something about it from the net and all and maybe everyone knows what went down but most people look to MSM to tell them whether it is “important.” Various MSM entities don’t feel they have to have a big blast scoop to “sell papers” even though they seem to be dying financially because they are counting on the New Order rulers to squash their competition on the net for them. They just need to keep mum a little longer and NOT kill the goose they expect to lay golden eggs for them.
Spot on, and bears repeating. There is a large swath of the American public that gives no credibility to anything that isn't spoon fed to society from the popular culture. The people with blood on their hands include the MSM who refuse to tell the truth, and who delegitimize information that is critical of those whose ideology they support. You are also absolutely correct that many if not most of them would welcome a suppression of free speech if it favored them and suppressed their competition.
Letting a gay civil servant die to get reelected might be a bridge too far for MSM.
Does a black president trump a liberal gay man?
