Banfield on Newsnation are referring to Hillary connected with Russiagate.

I did a search here and online and could only find something connected with NYPost and other right wing nuts.

They appear to have gone bonkers.

I haven't watched them as I get the news I need as it is.

Anyone know more about Newsnation and Banfield?

political distraction. It is an essential part of the Trump and GOP playbook. The disgusting thing these days is all it takes it a simple soundbite and the right-wing media created a explosion of outrage and is supported by anyone who continues to kiss the ass of Trump.

This nation seems to have become a nation of idiots.

So I guess wait and see... if Garland puts his foot down and crushes this shit, we'll know it is all FUD.

...it comes off as a kinder, gentler, better-able-to-put-on-a-sane-face version of OANN or Newsmax.

I would encourage you to get your news from other outlets.

Has been knocking around all the networks over the past 20 years. Left them all, don't know why. But this gig looks like a low for her. Its not CBS or NBC.
