Consider:

DEEP STATE

Democrats’ narrative that that President Trump colluded with Russia during his campaign suffered a severe setback after a credible Russia critic gave sworn testimony in Congress last week that received little mainstream news media coverage. That story link from Skoonj earns this reaction from me. There are no setbacks for that lot. Consider the officiousness of this conjured scenario Aug 23 NEW YORK TIMES HEADLINE HOUSE IMPEACHES TRUMP! White House: Huh?; Fox News: Huh?; September 2 CNN, MSNBC, WA POST, NYT, ABC, NBC; CBS et al SENATE POLL:  WE WILL CONVICT White House: Huh?; Fox News: Huh?; Sept 11 CNN, MSNBC, WA POST, NYT, ABC, NBC; CBS et al TRUMP REMOVED FROM OFFICE White House: Huh?; Fox News: Huh?; Sept 12 CNN, MSNBC, WA POST, NYT, ABC, NBC; CBS et al PENCE REFUSES TO ASSUME PRESIDENCY Calls the whole affair "FAKE NEWS" White House: ; Fox News: DENIES IMPEACHMENT HAPPENED; "FAKE NEWS" EXTRAPOLATE  RIOTS, et.al. So.  Who Won?
