comprehension. When did I say it was an ok "explainer"? In fact if you read my posts I said the exact opposite. I said it doesn't make it ok, but whatever, people respond to what they want. My point was the selective outrage about it. Adam Schiff leaked that he had seen "a smoking gun" multiple times to favorable media, and was not pressed on it. Schiff entering a fake conversation between Trump and Zelensky into the congressional record, lying about producing the whistleblower. He was all over tv with this stuff. The FBI leaked ahead of time to favorable news organizations that they knew would cover high profile and over-armed arrests of disfavored political figures. The 1/6 committee itself selectively edited tapes and did not release the full footage. Not to lend cover for someone I personally dislike, but the video footage of Hawley running out of the capital was edited (essentially they were all being escorted out of the capital, and if you extend the clip it shows dozens of others rushing out right before him with police escort, but we didn't see that in the selective clip). It was selectively leaked that Trump was "briefed" on the Steele Dossier, thus giving the dossier credibility, while failing to disclose that much of it was funded as opposition research and sources for the document itself were themselves Russians with dubious backgrounds. This got play in the media for years, and was true simply because it hadn't been "disproven". The Biden laptop that the FBI had for a year was labeled as a Russian plot, despite the FBI having had it for over a year and knowing it was real (and people who actually paid attention knowing it was true contemporaneously). Yes, selective leaks and commentary have been going on forever and this reeks of selective outrage.
