Mueller\u2019s indictment of Manafort, for example, has nothing whatsoever to do with Russiagate. The Trump-hating presstitutes and Trump-hating Democrats still hope to make something of the investigation that has come up completely empty after two years, whereas a functioning attorney general will close down the investigation as having found nothing and wandered off into unrelated matters.<\/p>\n<p>As Maddow illustrates, the presstitutes have become political activists who use their media positions not to report, but to campaign against Trump, whether it is Maddow over Sessions or CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta over the caravan from Honduras. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2018\/11\/07\/white-house-suspends-jim-acostas-press-pass-after-combative-briefing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2018\/11\/07\/white-house-suspends-jim-acostas-press-pass-after-combative-briefing\/ <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did Acosta show any concern for Hondurans when \u201cAmerica\u2019s First Black President\u201d overthrew the democratically elected government and installed Washington\u2019s man?<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Larry King, a CNN host for 25 years said that CNN stopped doing news in order to do in Trump. <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/415669-larry-king-hits-cnn-stopped-doing-news-to-focus-on-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/415669-larry-king-hits-cnn-stopped-doing-news-to-focus-on-trump <\/a><\/p>\n<p>NPR plays the same game.
