I remember when watergate was a 2 bit burglary and 2 years later or so

[beachbum bob]

a president and his crew were brought down.....same rhetoric, different players. Real journalist will go after the climate of retribution and probable political and financial shakedowns that go hand in hand with it.

1. I give Rachel a lot of credit why this is still alive, but there are not many real journalists

around anymore in this country

[Brainstormy]

2. Ditto, and

Rachel took some heat for staying on the story.

[Blue Idaho]

6. Agreed but...

Lets not forget the local journalists that are still digging to get all of this story out. It seems that real journalism still lives - its just not found on the TV machine any more.

3. Good point!

4. I Too Recall All Of It...

BUT look how long it took? However, news is much faster and the "gotchas" will be pushing forward! And yes, Rachel was THE FIRST, she has been out front on so many issues for many years!

Will be interesting to see what Steve Kornake has to say. I really do find him to be extremely intelligent and also have a lot of respect for him.

5. This is the beginning

Takes a year or two....paper shredders are running...but tough to rid servers of emails and text msgs.

7. Actually a "third rate burglary".

Yes, these things tend to start small and then escalate.

8. And I remember when G.W. lied to us about

WMD in Iraq, got us into a war based on lies and 2 years later, well, nothing happened.
