It's like a slow motion train wreck that I can't look away from.
Make photocopies if it, so it doesn't mysteriously disappear.

(8,050 posts)Bottom line (and Rachel is probably at home going over all these emails as we speak, and you'll hear from her tomorrow night) is that the "deep state" employees -- professionals all -- who saw this coming from January, and whose hair was pretty much instantly on fire, were totally sidelined by the trump leadership, and trump is likely why the CDC was useless (and they still are, for that matter). CDC didn't, hasn't and won't make accurate tests available. Why? Where do we think that came from?
I feel so friggin' sorry for these doctors and scientists and public servants in these emails. Their hands have been absolutely tied from the start. A tree fell in the forest, but nobody heard it.
