No, b/c I think it drowns out other things Dems need to win back voters they lost or that just stayed home. That's what OH people are saying

don't care about drone strikes and kill lists. It would be weird to say"The Intercept should stop banging on about that. It doesn't help Ds"

That's fair, except: our goal & mission isn't to help Dems win. It's to cover impt issues. Goal of Dem Party should be to win.

Voters caring about Trump/Russia as it unfolds is not the issue- Q is will care if it leads to crimes/easy to digest scandal.

And yet Democrats, politicians and media are managing to talk about both. AND other issues. Not to our detriment, I think.

We agree that it's not either/or. Both deserve to be discussed, and more. But it's a Q of proportion, resource/risk allocation, priorities…

Problem with so much focus on Russia is a) crowds out issues at least as important w/ broader appeal b) high risk of no "smoking gun" finale
