Tweets Of The Day - The Trump Pay-For-Play Scandal The Media Mostly Avoids

Will the media take note of a large, stinking pile right in front of it, or will it continue to avert it's gaze and hold its nose? =crickets=  

Weird how a press obsessed with optics stories doesn't see one when Trump gives cash to state AG's that don't prosecute his business.

if there's "pay-for-play" fact pattern re:Clinton Foundation as clear/direct as @AP & @Fahrenthold report re:Trump/Bondi, I haven't seen it

The failure to cover Trump-Bondi is probably the biggest omission in NYT presidential coverage. And its a BFD https://t.co/yNCwsCfrU5

Re: foundations and pay for play. One person i talked to absolved Trump by saying, “Well, he admitted he was trying to buy people off."

Also, see post below.

BONUS:  On the rare occasions the media does bring up Trump's pay- for- play scandal, they get cowed and deflected by Trump surrogate blowhards.  Get some balls, please.

BONUS II:  Martin Longman also has a good read on the media and the Trump Foundation.
