@steph_bello 2. Per @ericgarland: many journos & critics are under-reacting and applying a high legal standardhttps://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/845718015496896513 …

@ericgarland 3. But step back and imagine if WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW was happening in the Clinton/Bush/Obama or *any* previous White House.

@ericgarland 4. It would be treated by cable as a 24 hour national emergency BECAUSE IT IS. Because what's at stake is espionage & treason.

@ericgarland 5. Unfortunately cable news still treat Trump like a reality villain/star so Russiagate becomes less serious than it really is.

@ericgarland 6. If cable news were meeting the enormity of this moment there's no way the GOP would be able to do SCOTUS/healthcare ANYTHING

@ericgarland 7. DC would grind to a halt AS IT SHOULD if cable news was doing its job instead of treating this as any other Trump scandal

@ericgarland 8. Example: every night Anderson Cooper explicates the new details of Russiagate followed by the dreaded "back with our panel."

@ericgarland 9. BWOP began during the election and is like PTSD now. Panel has one expert (if we're lucky) and a gaggle of partisan hacks.

@steph_bello L. O'Donnell shredded DJT Friday. In my lifetime, I don't recall a journo talking abt any politician let alone potus that way.

@steph_bello It was brilliant and it was delicious.

@spazzdog @steph_bello It was also brave.

@steph_bello Steph, can I add to this?The fact that he has already committed 3 WAR CRIMES that are being painted as keeping campaign/1

@steph_bello pledges without mention of the fact they are ALSO war crimes, no discussion of Geneva Conventions. 0 mention of the 1996 war/2

@steph_bello Crimes Act. The Muslim Ban,which is what it was intended to be, needs to be mentioned with the context of 4th amendment. But/3

@steph_bello The likes of CNN continue to have the likes of Jeffrey Lord, Kayleigh M, Steve Moore, Paris D and now Jason Miller to LIE/4

@steph_bello to the public. They also have on Jack Kingston, who was part of the campaign, and visited Russia to discuss lifting sanctions/5

@steph_bello in December. If you have these people on the show, grill them at the very least on these issues. Miller, why employ a liar/6

@steph_bello Like him other than to obtain trump voters? Keith Olbermann was fired by MSNBC for much less. MSNBC, especially Joe & Mika /7

@steph_bello stepped up since the election (Maddow, Joy and Lawrence are great regardless), but Halperin needs to go. Such a shill for/8
