It is a laughable ridiculous failure to influence the election, it isn’t hiding anything.
It may not be the case, and it may not work if it is the case, but this manufactured border crisis is organized, and really could be timed to coincide with the sedicious Mueller/DNC/GOP-e report and effort to further motivate “impeachment”. The media’s game plan is clearly to portray inhumane treatment of the “poor civilians”, and to provide for maximum holiday coverage for audience.
