The justice will have to rename itself the private Security Task force. I cant believe this is it. I dont really believe in the cable news wars idea. I know people who work across the street at the Fox News Channel. I have friends who work there. I think were all doing our own thing in our own way. I wish everybody the best, but oh my god, they have been hyping and hyping and huffing and puffing and working their audience up into a frenzy for two solid weeks. They have literally built a right wing public movement. That this memo must be released because this memo will fix the trump presidency. It will fix the russia scandal r for president trump. It will make the whole thing go away. Apparently despite all of that, they either didnt know or didnt notice that this thing they have been clambering for and hyping for two solid weeks
