If congressional Dems hadn't let Michael Caputo off the hook for lying under oath to Congress about his dealings with Russians during the 2016 campaign, and CNN had not made him a TV star pundit, he'd NEVER have been at HHS to implement the COVID strategy to infect & kill us.1/4
Letting Trump criminals skate has big, dangerous, and even deadly consrquences. Trump "respects" people who get on TV and people who get away with crimes, which is why he put Caputo at HHS. Congressional Dems need to acknowledge their role. 2/4
Yes, referring Caputo to DoJ at that time would've resulted in Sessions letting him off the hook. But it also would have made it less likely that CNN would've elevated Caputo to "respected pundit" and Trump would never have placed him at HHS to spread COVID. Harsh, but true 3/4
And btw, that is EXACTLY how we ended up with KKKayliegh McEneny as WH press sec -- the most dangerous monster ever to stand behind that podium. CNN created her from nothing for Trump. An experienced press sec would draw the line somewhere at promoting fascism at some point. 4/4
