Fake news = news you don’t like. Or that the leader of your cult


Doesn’t like.

There are about 1500 pages combined of detailed evidence of all the inappropriate contacts between Trumpworld and Russia in ‘16, but that’s all dismissed as Deep State, fake news, whatever, because that’s your hyper bias. Comey, McCabe, other enemies of the cult are presumed guilty of things about which you have no first hand knowledge - just a lot of biased sources to feed your own closed mind - because you want them to be. Because it allows you to dismiss evidence against your cult leader and fantasy sovereign.

Not in America. The exact opposite of the banana republic-esque statements in your first paragraph are true of American justice. Your bias is completely appropriate for Trump’s or the FBI agent’s legal teams, but the system itself looks at evidence. One side can produce evidence of things like wrongful prosecution or legal bias, but you simply assume it, presume the guilt of political enemies (who, as you say, aren’t even under indictment), and the innocence of those you consider on your side. Based on nothing but your biases and the interpretations of reality they impose on you.

You have no first hand knowledge of any of it. Just assumptions aligned with your politics, to allow you in advance to dismiss findings in court you don’t like. Based on a negative result, they’ll be deemed “deep state”. If you get the result you want, not so deep.

All deeply biased supposition, all the time, and very banana republic. Dictators the world over use this approach to remain above the law.

The question is: did Donald Trump inflate the value of his home to defraud lenders and others? Not “what does LA think of Tish James?”. You probably suspect you won’t like the answer to that question on some level, so I guess you figure if you can focus really hard on how much you hate her and all your other enemies, it won’t matter what Trump did.

But this is the USA, not the cultish fantasy kingdom of Trumpistan.
