    Dear the so-called press. This is an instance where repeating a blatant Trump lie is nothing more than stenography. https://twitter.com/ap/status/1007603252651753472 …

        Dear member of echo chamber - there is no other way to read the IG report. Sorry, that is obvious to anyone w half a brain.

        Orly. How do you figure? I'd love to see someone try to rationally defend the claim bc it can't be done.

        Top investigator saying “we’ll stop Trump” not sufficient for you? And don’t call me Orly :)

        Except that there were three levels of people over him. And except that he got moved once they discovered bias. And except that two of the more senior people got fired, at least in part, for fucking over Hillary Clinton. So pretty much all the evidence says you're wrong.

        He got moved from the Mueller investigation. He was the lead investigator on HRC “matter.” And his supervisor, McCabe, also a Hillary man. If HRC was fairly investigated, she’d be charged and there’d be no need for Comey to reopen the case. W HRC charged, easy win for Trump. QED.

        That's not what the IG report found. At all. But that's also totally unrelated to whether FBI was biased against him at very top--given that top 2 really fucked over Hillary.

        Again, I disagree w you. If the HRC "matter" was handled by impartial investigators, if proper standard of gross negligence and not intent was applied, and if Cheryl Mills and Huma had the screws turned on them Mueller-style, she'd be charged and Trump would win in a cakewalk.

        I actually think SOME people would be charged, not Hillary, had the investigated not primarily focused on her. However, the IG report you claim to have read disagrees with your view. So while you may BELIEVE that, you cannot claim the IG report supports that.

        The press can improve yes, but turning on them now would not be wise. We all need the press. Find a better way. You're playing right into Trump's hands and we are dangerously close to what's left of our democracy.

        Thanks. Having gotten a PhD in part on how to embarrass autocrats in the press, I'll follow my own counsel not some nag on Twitter.

        Sorry, but that is incorrect. They are clearly reporting Trump's position on the IG's report. It's not agreeing with the President's statement or validating it. It's straight reporting of a fact: Trump said this. They go more in-depth here.https://www.apnews.com/ee8d4e7f38a4433ba90af4d13b093409/Trump-claims-FBI-'plotting'-though-report-found-no-bias …

        Then the *news* in his statement is that Trump blatantly lied, not that he said something.

        Right, which they basically say in their follow up analysis. That doesn't mean they shouldn't also do the straight reporting of the basic facts. I would be surprised if the author of the tweet is not as frustrated as the rest of us.
