He has to do both, but I agree with your sentiment, his focus should be the agenda, and the Witch Hunt should be a distraction. Unfortunately for the public, the press and Congress have made the With Hunt their priority, so it would be unwise to pretend that threat isn't there.
Many others disagree, but I think it actually helps him, to get the press spinning madly about things like "Trump admitted he is under investigation for obstruction" and the utterly false, oft repeated insinuation that the Holt interview amounts to Trump being relieved the Russia investigation was stopped.
Somebody is going to have egg on their face when the witch hunt is found out to truly have been a witch hunt, a coordinated effort to smear an innocent man with lies. And the more they (the press and Congress) spin up on the false accusations, the bigger the egg. There needs to be an institutional reckoning against the press.
Agreed!
I understand that he wants to respond to it. CNN talks about the Russia narrative all day long, and then when Trump Tweets about it, they literally say with zero sense of irony that Trump is obsessed with Russia. They literally speak of little else! My only concern with Russia is that he could Tweet something they will use against him.
This whole thing is a witch hunt for political purposes. I would say the media will have egg on their faces, but I’m concerned something could be manufactured or Mueller will dig and dig until he finds something he can use...even if it’s not related at all to the nature of his investigation.
