How to (or not to) cover the Russia-Trump collusion/conspiracy investigation




Great respect for James Risen, but I would not ever want to be on the opposite side of a debate with Glenn Greenwald.  Unfortunately, these days, Greenwald's twitter account is 95% taken up in arguing with people who attack him, and his actual reporting is scarce, so it's good to see/hear some interviews and debates where his razor sharp analyses and brilliant thought processes are on display.

Having said that, including Jeremy Scahill, the collective integrity in this video is maximum, and I so very much appreciate that in these days in American politics.

UPDATE:

Matt Taibbi has the bottom line on this story:
It's a giant land mine of a story that could go either way. Mueller could leak the pee tape tomorrow, or we could be sitting here two years from now talking about a money laundering indictment that has nothing to do with Russia, or, who knows, the president might even turn out to be innocent (in this matter), at which point we'd have to start asking some questions about what this was all about.

But hey, it distracts us from having to think about our complicity in turning the world into a steaming pile of shit and death.
