It's the Trump smokescreen we have witnessed for six or seven years now...

10. Agree wholeheartedly

The whole discussion he's trying to generate is BS
We have a judicial system.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Let the prosecutor do his job.
Let the judicial process play out where the evidence is on the table and a decision gets made based upon proven facts and the law.

But Trump tries to circumvent all that - smearing it as a political attack, etc and baiting people into trying to decide his innocence or guilt without the facts and evidence. We don't even know what the charges are yet.

Media was supposed to be the great arbiter for Democracy.
The oligarchs controlling 90% of the US media have corrupted the great arbiter.
The nation is split because the oligarchs want it that way - so they can retain power.
The nation is split because its media has consistently failed to deliver the truth to a people who would come down on the side of right every time if they know all the facts.
One day, these oligarchs going to wake up and the wonderful, powerful country they inherited won't be able to protect their wealth and family because they've weakened it so badly.
China, Russia and all the enemies of the United States love this infighting - because they win no matter who prevails in the US - so mush of our energy is distracted and wasted.

In my opinion, Rupert Murdoch is worse than any terrorist that has ever assaulted the United States.
He and his like are destroying the country with lies and opening wounds that were healing on wedge issues and racism, etc.
The United States has to face a lot of problems. It can do so united. Fractured, it cannot do so effectively. Without the truth, constantly debating lies, it cannot be united.
The real enemies should be outside of the borders. Unfortunately, they are among us clinging to power that would otherwise slip away from them and blind to the fact that in doing so, they are making all of us less secure.
