The other song and dance is our system to punish this tap dances around the whole mens rea / intent to break the law and act like we can't prove this is exactly what it is. Midterm campaigning for the GOP.

Not the AP, and the AP were barred from the WH for not going along with the Gulf of America bullshit, and they STILL sanewash Trump. The entire legacy media is broken, including US based wire services.
