WTF has happened to the NY Times?
They know the administration is breaking the law. But, yet, they can't bring themselves to just say it.
And what, on earth does "being lax about complying" with a federal law even mean???
Shameful.
Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who can put cases together for future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.
"Why Is the Media Ignoring the New Rape Allegation Against Trump?"

Read this week's Zeteo's 'Ragebait' media column, which brings receipts:

Now she's spending $43,000 in taxpayer funds on new furniture for her own office.
Really think about how twisted this is.
