If you don’t believe that this is how these swamp creatures and their media hack supporters think, I give you the response mid-week last week by MSNBC fake journalist Andrea Mitchell to the current reporting on the Clinton/Russia/Uranium scandal by reporters for The Hill. When asked why MSNBC and NBC were maintaining radio silence on that scandal’s new revelations, Ms. Mitchell responded that her network had “already reported” the story in the past. The Media Research Center determined that that “previous reporting” to which Mitchell referred amounted to NBC having spent 92 seconds reporting on earlier revelations in 2013.
This is what these fake media outlets do whenever they’re faced with an inconvenient scandal involving one or more of their Democrat heroes: they file a single, perfunctory report on the matter, giving it the most biased slant possible, and then spend the next 20 years claiming that “we already reported that story.” It’s like getting a flu shot – you take just a smidgen of the nasty stuff in order to make yourself immune from having to go through the full-blown illness.
This inoculation strategy is as old as the DC Swamp itself, and this is most likely exactly what the Special Counsel’s office is implementing with its “investigation” into disclosures by the Podesta Group. By putting up the pretense of looking at a high-powered Democrat lobbying firm for possible technical violations, Mueller and his team are most likely setting the stage for announcing indictments of former Trump campaign adviser Paul Manafort or others who were involved in the campaign.
Thus, when accusations of the Special Counsel’s office’s obvious bias start to come, Mueller will now be able to defend himself and his team by saying “hey, we also looked at this Democrat firm over here.” See this shiny object?

Remember every time a new revelation came to light in the Clinton years, George Stephanopolous would denounce it as ‘old news’, even when it was a bombshell.
It’s comedy, in its own way.
The unfortunate thing is that Hillary got elected President anyway.
Oh. Wait. nm.
Bwa hahahahahahah.
What stopped you from posting the whole thing?
Come the revolution, Mueller needs to face a peoples’ court to assure that he gets “justice” as well.
When does one publish an excerpt versus when does one publish the whole thing? Is there an algorithm for what to do when?
Some professional sites only allow some number of characters/words to be posted (republished).
Isn’t there a list here somewhere of those sites?
I don’t know. I’ve never found a rules page. I assume there must be one.
It’s his own material, he can post the whole thing.
No different than a vanity thread.
Here are the owner’s guidelines -

Here is the “Excerpt Only” list -
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1111944/posts
It should be noted that in lieu of constantly updating
the list, the posting program now forces excerpts where
necessary.
The vast majority of blogs you see being excerpted on FR
do not have this restriction.
Good info, but wrong.
Dave Blackmon excerpted his own blog, DBDaily, so his hit-clicker would increase.
I’m hearing those indictments will be against Democrats.
Thanks!
I had only known the last part, due to discussions here with people who surprisingly support freepers posting tantalizing excerpts of their own blogs for fun and profit.
Hmmmn.
A different, more cynical take on your earlier observations, LS. Neitehr direction of the investigation - going deeper into the democrat crimes and inditing several Obama administration officials, or whitewaterwashing them by a false superficial but publicized announcement of an “investigation” can be ruled out right now.
But also, merely by announcing “an investigation is beginning” the democrats can publicize the “Russian corruption/spying/nuclear bribery” investigation (implying it is Trump who did the crime!) but EVERY democrat can immediately begin claiming that “the matter is being investigated and we can’t talk about it” ... Then go on to blame Trump for everything anyway for the next 30 minutes of talking points!
I prefer snips. If I want the whole story, I click on the link.
But that’s just me. Different strokes and all that...
One, this is gaining traction....more than ever before...in the media and in the consciousness of the people.
Two, Mueller is in the center of it. I don’t believe he can shut this down given the current occupant of the White House. He can craft an investigation which inoculates himself, yet brings down the rest of the bandits......which would be wonderful.
Three, Mueller knows if he doesn’t do two above, Sessions will bring the house down on all of them and he will be under the rubble.
Four, the whole time, the dims are cheering this on.
Brilliance.
How did you find out its his own material?
I don’t post many articles, but I’ve found it’s easier to just post a snip than to peruse some list. I err on the side of caution.
Thank you, shibumi. I would never have guessed that word as a link to that information but, thinking about it, it makes sense. And good information about “do it unless you can’t do it.” I was running the algorithm in my head the other way. This makes more sense. Thanks to all for the help.
At some point he probably visited it and saw that the publisher’s name matched the freepers’.
