Washington Examiner Opinion by Byron York - 11h ago
A CLASSIC ANTI-TRUMP FRENZY. Beginning in the months before Donald Trump took office, and extending well into his presidency, the media and political world took a set of vague but serious accusations of wrongdoing involving the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia and created a 24/7 frenzy of talk about secret evidence, possible criminal charges, and allegedly grave damage to national security. Fed by leaks originating in federal law enforcement, the intelligence community, and interested lawyers, ostensibly responsible observers engaged in wild speculation — COLLUSION!!! — that was terribly damaging to then-President Trump. And here was the punch line: Nobody knew what the evidence was. It was secret, classified, grand jury, ongoing investigation, whatever. All the talk was based on little bits of information, and no one, at the time, had the big picture. The secrecy cloaking the details of the case allowed anti-Trump speculation to flourish.

True. And that is exactly what they are doing now by refusing to release the affadavit used in obtaining a warrant to raid Mara Lago.
And that is what they are doing in this so-called January 6th investigation, which is also a joke.
I was watching a movie last night about an extremely corrupt and criminal NYC MAYOR..(fictional)...and this mayor's character said that, "It is NOT NECESSARY TO ACCUSE HIS OPPONENT OF SOMETHING REAL OR PROVABLE. He said the important thing was to LEAVE A SMUDGE."
