Why hasn’t this gotten any attention recently?
=========
Dems and their media buddies keep hammering Trump for being too cozy with Russia.
The slightest innuendo or chance encounter (think: Trump chats with Putin at formal G20 dinner”) gets blown up into a faux cause celebre that quickly evaporates.
Imagine for a moment if President Trump were to circumvent the Senate’s “advise & consent” rules by appointing people to his administration who play high-level cabinet-like roles … but aren’t subject to Senate approval.
The screaming would be deafening.
And, imagine if Trump were to call the process-circumventing appointees “Czars”.
Russia ! Russia !!! Russia !!!!
Clear evidence of collusion: Impeach for treason.
===========
Only problem with the story: Trump hasn’t done it, but Obama did … to a gleeful, encouraging press that argued “he had no choice but to do it.”
