I think there's probably other things he's done/said that would severly damage him, and I wish news outlets would stop with what thusfar has been a "nothing burger" and damage him for things that are more apparent and obvious.

Learning about a foreign government's plot to influence a US election, not reporting it, seeking to profit from it, and lying about it for the better part of a year is not a nothing burger.

Cool - I'll just leave this here then and you can point me to when you were equally up in arms about the Dems doing the exact same thing (if not worse):

And I think you're using quite a bit of hyperbole in your statement. There's no proof at all that this has anything to do with the Russian govt. The tabloid dude seems to indicate that its from a person in the Russian gov't (for a position that doesn't exist). There's no evidence that's true AND DTJ never comments on it. And again, see the link above.

And the nothing burger consists of everything prior to this. As i said, its been the biggest story on those network for 6 months. Prior to this, what was the biggest report indicating this that justified all that coverage?
