      2. Stephanopoulos rightly raises issue of whether taking Iraq's oil was legal but lets Giuliani say, falsely, that under war it's okay

      3. Giuliani also goes on to say that what Trump meant was USA would control oil & distribute equitably among Iraqis. That's a lie.

      4. Contra Giuliani's false gloss, Trump has repeatedly said he'd want to take Iraqi oil & use money to enrich USA.

      5. Giuliani is doing something common to Trump supporters: taking an outrageous Trump statement & reinterpreting it to something reasonable

      6. The problem isn't Giuliani though (surrogates gotta surrogate). The problem is Stephanopoulos, who let Giuliani get away with it.

      7. It can't be said too often: the mainstream, centrist press has really disgraced itself with its coverage of Trump. It's a genuine crisis.

      8. Want to re-iterate it's centrist press that's the problem. Interestingly, ideological conservative press often has better grasp of Trump

          9. To understand Trump's links to alt-right, you're better off reading right wing publication like Commentary or National Review than MSM.

          It is the vacuousness & bankruptcy of "on the one hand, on the other hand, always stay neutral" in face of proto-fascist politics.

          Ideological conservative writers don't worry about balance. They attack enemies. With target like Trump this works OK.
