My guess is that everyone, plus more, that were part of the journolist group in 2008 are part of this now. They never stopped. What’s to be done? It is an ethical issue to be sure, likely, though, not illegal. They should be asked to disclose their direct/indirect affiliations, their organizations should be taken to task for the ethical lapse. And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, none of these people should be allowed new a debate this fall.
You raise a good point. I doubt Hillary has the courage to appear at a debate vs Trump. We’re I Trump I would show up with my own moderator. Dump Candy Crowley or no debate. Let them spin on that.
