Ezra Klein: The latest revelation that ties the Trump campaign to Russia

[Rhiannon12866]

It sure looks like collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

[calimary]

1. ...but damn, there sure is a lot of smoke.

Understatement of the new century.

What I don’t get is the same thing that one of the reporters asked Miz Sarah at a very recent White House press briefing:

“How is this NOT collusion???”

2. I honestly don't know how she sleeps at night - lying to the American public every day

But then she had training from an early age...

7. You only have to look at her father to understand how she can

Lie so readily.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. When he was running, he put on his affable face.

He has since revealed his very dark side - but he could be charming if he put his mind to it. She doesn't seem to have that capability, she could try to be friendly if she wanted to get good press, others before her have done it, but she just doesn't have it in her.

9. They were always "charming" but it's an act. There's an utter lacking in humanity, like those

Swaggert etc hucksters. It's an act.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Oh, I know! But Huckabee was extremely good at it

It never even dawns on his daughter to make an effort. If I was part of the press corps, I don't think I could take it. Even with previous Republican press secretaries there was often a humorous give and take. It never dawns on her to behave any differently, she just can't.

[OnDoutside]

11. It's just the way she was raised I guess.

[ffr]

3. I like how he laid that all out. Good reporting by Ezra Klein

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I agree, he's quite sharp. He was also on with Lawrence O'Donnell tonight

Too bad that Trump doesn't tune in, he just might get a clue.

6. Ezra has good communicating skills. He stays calm, uses real (not alt-fact) info, and organizes his

story in a logical 1+2=3 narrative.

5. K&R

12. Excellent! very good to share with folks who don't understand and

haven't been following this 'whole Russia issue'....

[Rhiannon12866]

13. And those of us who need a scorecard to keep track!

And I agree that Ezra Klein explains things very well.
