all trying to verify the story. Which seems to be quite difficult at the Moment. Are we still thinking Avenatti 2020?

If this turns out to be a nothing burger I will be very disappointed!

It seems like the media is normally all BREAKING NEWS the second something major breaks. But not a single word so far.

I would think MSNBC would want to get out in front of this story. Hope it gets covered in the next hour or two, otherwise they're pathetic and useless.

...without looking like they ambushed him.

I'm thinking they already have leads on this story and are ready to report.

MSNBC said flat out that hey are working to verify some things before they say more.

Don't play into Trump's hand complaining about media just because they don't act the way you think they should.
