Former Obama officials are defending the repeated unmasking of Flynn by arguing that his comms must have been supremely suspicious. The FBI found 'no evidence of wrongdoing' just over a week after Flynn's call with Kislyak was leaked to the press.

There was even a debate in the WaPo newsroom around the time of the leak as to whether the Kislykak calls were even newsworthy. Yet somehow the Obama administration needed to unmask Flynn 48 times bc he was just so sketchy?
If the calls were just so disturbing that over a dozen admin officials, including Biden and Obama's CoS needed to find out who was involved in them, why did the FBI need to 'get [Flynn] to lie.' These defenses make zero sense!!!!!!

I went through the Twitter accounts of 35 Democrats who have endorsed Joe Biden since Tara Reade came forward with her accusation on March 25. Compare what they had to say about Kavanaugh and #MeToo to their silence now.

spectator.us/joe-biden-tara…
Some highlights:

@SpeakerPelosi: "We must #BelieveSurvivors"

@PramilaJayapal: "@JoeBiden is not answering the question about #MeToo Or is his answer 'get men involved'?"

@SenatorBaldwin (potential VP pick?): "Believe women."
.@senwarren: "Many survivors of sexual assault choose not to speak out, for a thousand different reasons. But when they do, they deserve to be heard."

And perhaps most stunning, @RepKatiePorter: "We must take *all* claims of sexual assault seriously regardless of party."

Article II Section III gives the president the authority to call a special session of Congress. The DOJ apparently affirmed this authority in a 1947 opinion: justice.gov/file/20711/dow…
"The important factor would appear to be not the nature of the recess or ad- journment but, rather, that the Congress is not in session and that an extraordinary occasion has arisen which requires that it be in session and that it convene...
..., therefore, at a date earlier than it otherwise would. It is beyond question that the two houses of the Congress do not have the power, even by statute, to defeat the constitutional power of the President"

When are "conservative" outlets going to stop paying 21 year olds with no life experience to pump out shitty opinion columns 🧐
Whenever I teach journalism seminars to college students the first thing I tell them is that no one cares about your opinions and to learn how to actually report something first!
And if you choose to ignore that advice, you can't become a whiny baby and just block or throw ad hominem attacks at people who criticize you ... buck up!
