The new controversy today is that a Lebanese businessman with whom some people in the Trump transition team met in December of 2016 was convicted 15 years earlier of pedophilia in Czechoslovakia around 2000. At one of the two meetings that Mueller is looking into, there was also a Russian banker present. OMG!
These are meetings by staff people after the election. The Lebanese banker was a representative of the head of the UAE. The meetings had nothing to do with the election in 2016. So what's the reason for all the articles today about these meetings?
Give up? The answer is that there aren't many other stories today to slant against Trump, so the media is going here.
In other news, the mainstream media is going overboard on stories about members of the Cabinet who may have traveled in private jets during the Trump administration. Of course, that leads to the following question: In 2016 when Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch was sitting in her PRIVATE JET on the tarmac at an Arizona airport, Bill Clinton dropped by to discuss the ongoing investigation of Hillary regarding her emails. Forget for the moment about the total impropriety of that meeting. Think instead about all the articles written in the mainstream media concerning how terrible it was that AG Lynch was in a private jet paid for by the taxpayers. THERE WERE'NT ANY ARTICLES. The press didn't care. The press didn't even mention this.
I'm not saying that Cabinet officials need private jets. I am saying, however, that the hypocrisy of the mainstream media is overwhelming.
