"SNIP......

“Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration on Tuesday abruptly canceled a no-bid contract to help track the spread of the coronavirus in Michigan, a day after announcing the hiring of a state Democratic consultant and a national firm that has worked for prominent Democratic causes,” the Washington Post reports.

“The reversal comes amid complaints that the governor tapped politically connected firms to collect health data on state residents and monitor sensitive medical information. It also comes as Whitmer’s profile is rising — she is considered a possible running mate for likely Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, and she has become the target of Republican attacks.”

4. A sign she is cleaning up anything that could be harped on in a GE?

That is my hope. Trump is afraid of her. She would make a great VP and talks real to the public.

5. It means that, as a Democrat, even if there is nothing inappropriate

Just the appearance of impropriety, causes the media to highlight this story and analyze it from every possible angle 24/7/365, including making sure to ask Donnie Shit for Brains his opinion on this "scandal" everyday for a year, featuring hours of footage of an empty podium as they wait for Dipshit Donnie to weigh in on this obviously important, existential to our nations survival story.

If you're a Retrumplican, the media just says; "meh".

6. Meanwhile, trump+Putin+GOP+Fox+oligarchs continue their gruesome war against Democrats.

Welcome to bio-warfare in the U.S.

7. The Gov Was Probably Not Closely Involved In the Selection of These Firms - Still Doesn't Look Good

No bid contacts always draw a lot of scrutiny....as they should.
