So Where's The Apology?

For the last day the mainstream media and the Democrats have been going crazy talking about the BuzzFeed report stating that president Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.  It was grounds for impeachment, and it was the beginning of the end for President Trump according to these people.  As I wrote both yesterday and today, the BuzzFeed story seemed totally bogus.  I won't rehash the items that led to this conclusion, but despite those facts, the media and the Democrats ran with the story non-stop.  But now we have confirmation that the BuzzFeed story is false.  It's Fake News.  It's a lie!  Special Counsel Bob Mueller's office issued a statement announcing that the description in the BuzzFeed article of supposed statements gotten by the Mueller team and of emails and other internal documents from the Trump Organization were inaccurate.  In other words, the Special Counsel himself, who never comments on anything, felt compelled to step forward and brand the BuzzFeed article Fake News.

When the story came out early this evening, I switched on CNN since that network spent the last 24 hours featuring the bogus BuzzFeed report.  I actually saw a CNN contributor say that since they now had the article on the one hand and the statement of the Mueller team on the other hand, she didn't know which to believe.  Even when faced with the facts, this CNN "pundit" couldn't bring herself to admit the truth.

In the last hour, I look for the statements from prominent Democrats apologizing for jumping the gun on the need for impeachment.  The senators from my state of Connecticut, Chris Murphy and Lying Dick Blumenthal had both issued a number of statements describing the serious nature of the BuzzFeed report and the inexorable process that would lead to impeachment of the President.  So far, Murphy and Blumenthal have been silent.  It took less than 15 minutes for each of them to put out statements after the BuzzFeed report appeared.  Somehow, when the BuzzFeed report is disclosed to be phony, these senators have nothing to say.

And it's not just the senators from my state.  So far, I have seen statements by over 100 Democrat members of Congress or the Senate talking about the terrible conduct of President Trump reported by BuzzFeed and the need for impeachment or at least a full Congressional investigation.  Despite that, I have yet to see even one apology from these fools who can't wait for actual facts before jumping into the lynch mob.  They better apologize NOW.
