    The “dig up dirt” angle to Ukraine is being confused somewhat, the immediate political value in having an open investigation is to validate speculation about dirt and provide a drip-drip-drip of process stories that keep it front and center. Possible “dirt” is only one part.

        This is one reason D’s are worried about other candidates. “Trump attacks thing opponent did 10 years ago” is hard to keep up as a constantly updated story. “Latest news on investigation into thing Trump opponent’s did 10 years ago” is a different thing.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry/trump-s-target-biden-now-democrats-fear-others-could-face-n1062661 …

        Think about coverage of prior investigations like State Dept emails or Mueller, which — whatever you think of each — was fueled by hundreds of discrete cycles about new developments and process. Subpoenas, witnesses, leaks, etc, then the subject and party responses to each.

        Also not enough attention paid to how other countries are being incentivized not just to dig up but to *make up* dirt, or even more likely, to pass on dirt made in Russia

        This is very effective on low information voters. Keep it going, make lots of smoke and they will get a general sense of corruption without any clear proof of any wrong doing. And press loves to report on "optics" and "raises questions" speculation.

        Funny that you can’t keep up, maybe if you hadn’t slept thru 8 years of Obama, you would have caught some of this.
