      I don’t understand the “this will not matter” talk among the chattering classes. Nobody has a crystal ball. Who knows? But one way of ensuring nothing matters is giving up having values to defend. Cynicism isn’t a sign of depth or savvy, it’s resignation masquerading as politics.

      “The rich never pay taxes anyway.” Yeah, I wonder if that’s something we should talk about? Everything from how the tax system works, the legal loopholes, the gray-zone evasions; the tax-havens to who gets audited more (the poor)... If something should matters, act like it does.

      To clarify: I don't have a naive conviction that we're one revelation or one tell-all book away from a massive shift. If anything, I'd say.. Nope. But standing up for a set of values, acting like they matter, and convincing people there is a way forward.. That's the way forward.

          It's the savvy style, where instead of expressing values and standing by them, journalists will lean back and tell you how a mass of hypothetical low-information voters will react to the information.

          Also every day he is playing defense against (legit) accusations of corruption, incompetence, etc. is another day he is not gaining any ground back in the polls. If he doesn't do something to improve his standing he will lose the election.

          And corruption is stealing from the people of USA, not some inanimate entity called the government. Every honest hardworking person is having their pockets picked by the corrupt.

          i agree with everything except it is a way forward. Whole "conservative" movement has become troll-the-liberals movement with hatred of liberals becoming the motivating force. Spend minimal effort to convince people and only undecideds.

          Yeah a lot of change happened after the Panama Papers revelations, Edward Snowden disclosures etc. The ruling class reformed itself, politicians fell in line and we all lived happily ever after.

          Exactly, Mueller didn't dig as much as he could've but what he found was devastating until too many people said it wasn't and cynically focused on it not moving the needle with swing voters.
