Me 2. They always make it sound like something HUGE, and it turns out to be a nothingburger. I remember Olbermann's tweets to this effect, people speculating that he's announcing he's coming back to MSNBC. Same goes for Tweets suggesting that there's a big Mueller story coming, as if the cuffs are coming out for these bastages.

Love Lawrence and his show. Just don't like false hype.
