There are a variety of ways in which Novack, Armitage, and/or Powell could have ensured that some basic facts were known to key parties early on, so that Fitzfong’s witch hunt never could have gotten off the ground, and so that the WH and MSM could have known early on that Fitzfong was on a witch hunt. Unfortunately, it suited Powell, Novack, and Armitage to let the WH twist in the wind and suffer some of the most vicious and dishonest assaults in modern political history.
It is worthless that Novack hinted in a couple of columns that his original source “was not a partisan gunslinger” since the MSM did not care to pay attention to any subtle hints. There are plenty of things that could have been said, either publicly or to the WH in private, to ensure that the whole brouhaha could have been fought off early on.
Unfortunately, Novack, Powell, and Armitage all had their own agendas that made them happy to stand aside as spectators while the WH was under the most depraved onslaught. For that, those 3 deserve the fullest contempt from every citizen.
oops, his name is spelled ‘Novak’ — my bad :^(
I’d rather spell it “dipstick”.......
