For John, BLUF: All have feet of clay♠. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Shepherd Smith is a jerk.
On his "news" show he goes out of his way to say that there is no proof of voter fraud as he reports on President Trump saying that there was wide spread voter fraud back in November 2016.
On the other hand, A B Stoddard (Real Clear Politics)is saying that the Democrats (in and out of Congress) are concerned about (afraid of) an investigation that will uncover pockets of voter fraud.
But, back to Shep, the problem is he was not this over the top over leaking of information from the IC on the supposed "hacking" of the election by the Russians. Does no one in the Media understand that when one says "hacking of the election" one conveys the election itself was subverted. Yes, the Democratic National Committee EMails were hacked and revealed. Mr Julian Assange, who used to be a darling of the Progressives, claimed he did it without the help of Russia. But, that can't be acceptable, so he is now a pariah. And, to garner sympathy, we blame the Russians, who are just enjoying the whole thing to no end. The fact that the hacking revealed the duplicitous nature of the DNC, and the distain of DNC officials for those Mrs Clinton described as "Deplorables" was important in the election, but apparently not for the media.
So, why did Shep not talk about that as the balancing that it is?
Who knows? My wife says he has an "Agenda". Maybe so.
