It was obvious before, but now there's no doubt that the national media never cared about Russia "Collusion" and that their breathless coverage of special counsel Robert Mueller is purely about taking an axe to President Trump.
Immediately following the convictions Tuesday of Paul Manafort, who served as one of Trump's 2016 campaign managers, and Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, the media declared it a "Win" for Mueller's limitless probe.
The "Win" amounts to multiple convictions of tax evasion and bank fraud by Manafort and a plea deal on the same things for Cohen, who also, supposedly most consequentially, claimed in his deal that Trump told him to pay off women to stay silent about their alleged affairs with him, a would-be violation of campaign finance laws.
CNN legal analyst Jennifer Rodgers said Wednesday that the convictions are, "Definitely a win for team Mueller and not team Trump."
Most of the media are willing to admit that the Manafort convictions have nothing to do with Trump or the election so they're hanging their hopes on Cohen's claim that he acted on behalf of Trump to hush up the Playmate Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels about the alleged affairs.
Trump? He's accused of using his own money to reimburse Cohen for the money paid to Daniels and McDougal right before the 2016 election, which he may or may not have been required to publicly disclose.
Farrow added, "McDougal describes their affair as entirely consensual. But her account provides a detailed look at how Trump and his allies used clandestine hotel-room meetings, payoffs, and complex legal agreements to keep affairs-sometimes multiple affairs he carried out simultaneously-out of the press."
