If that's what you really think, you need to cut back on the Fox News.

I watch more CNN and ABC than Fox. I just don't let any of them dictate what I think.

Watching CNN, the all-Trump, all-the-time network, I often see innuendo discussed as fact. It usually goes something like this:

Wolf: There is no evidence that Donald Trump is raping the female White House staffers. But if he was, there would likely be a videotape of it somewhere that is currently being suppressed. Fred, what do you think should happen if that videotape comes to light?

Fred(or whoever): Certainly that would be grounds for impeachment, Wolf. Evidence of our President committing felonies needs to be taken seriously.

Wolf: Let's go to our legal experts to find out how they think this should be handled. Marty?

Marty(or whoever): Certainly, this would rise to the level of a High Crime. The American people deserve a president who is not a rapist.

After a couple of hours of this discussion of the President being indicted for rape, everybody forgets it all started with "There is no evidence".

Pay attention to these phrases next time you listen to CNN, Lad:

"There is no evidence"

We don't know if he did this or not, but...

There could be evidence...

There might be evidence...

It is reasonable to assume...

Everybody knows...

And so forth.

Then next time somebody says he is not a rapist, don't accuse them of watching too much Fox.

Get where you're coming from on the Cable News Network . . . but do the last seven days of SDNY and Mueller filings, the AMI agreement with SDNY and this morning's tweets from the White House give you pause regarding where this is heading?

Cohen's "path of darkness" and "dirty deeds" confined to the vagaries of campaign finance laws?

Inferno: Canto I
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.

I too agree that CNN is way too focused on Trump.

But with all of the information that’s come out this week, I’ve got no idea how anyone can keep calling this a witch hunt. I bet these people would have said the prosecution of Al Capone was a witch hunt too. I mean, all he did was not pay his taxes!

They set out to get him, and they got him. Not for what they wanted him for, but they got him.

Neither you nor I would survive a witch hunt into our lives like this.
