🏆On night seven, we’re highlighting Trump’s failing DOJ weaponization.
For months, Trump put loyalists in key interim U.S. attorney offices. Three were found to be serving unlawfully, leading to the dismissal of criminal charges against some of his political foes.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

If you're looking for something to dislodge that Gordon Lightfoot earworm, tomorrow is ALSO the 50th anniversary of Patti Smith's debut album. Like Bruce Springsteen says, starts with "probably the greatest opening line of anyone’s debut album in rock ’n’ roll."
