Rachel Maddow embarrassed the DOJ into investigating Trump [View all] LetMyPeopleVote Jun 2023 OP

Has Trump ever tried to lambast Rachel? Just curious. leftyladyfrommo Jun 2023 #1

It's the ethical standard to which they're supposed to hold themselves.. Mister Ed Jun 2023 #58

Methinks in this case they were striving more to *appear* uninfluenced, which is what led to this JudyM Jun 2023 #69
