Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area.

The media punditry has weighed in on yesterday’s hearings, and they have given their judgment.

The NYT headline about a “halting delivery,” Chuck Todd’s thoughts on “optics,” reporters bemoaning the lack of fireworks, WaPo’s movie review of the hearing—this is how the media gave us Trump. It is *not* how they’d have covered this hearing if it happened in a foreign country. https://t.co/PRlOjNtPHz

Image… is everything.

Forget the substantive content and that Mueller indicated that Trump can be indicted for federal felonies Mueller identified in his report after leaving office.

Forget that Mueller indicated that but for the DOJ policy against indicting a sitting president that Trump could have been indicted.

It’s that Mueller wasn’t a compelling witness, which wasn’t true either.
