To use the old bullshit that everyone trots out whenever secrecy or privacy is mentioned.
It may be that there is nothing there but we won't know unless it is investigated properly.
You could claim that this, like the tax release and Trump's overall buffoonery, are diversionary tactics to dilute opposition to policies like tax cuts for the rich, healthcare, environmental cuts but he does not seem that devious. Or he is that smart and excellent at playing an arrogant and naive liar.
Politics is so very petty and childish. Because at its root it is about getting people to agree and no one is willing to compromise on their issue because it is important dammit. Add blinding amounts of spin, copious lies, ideology, identity, group dynamics and manipulation using all the above and voila: a clusterfuck.
it does seem like there's a coordinated effort of focus upon certain topics. While other, more troubling ones, go unmentioned or ignored.
The business lobby is interested in diverting attention from the policies that benefit megacorps and the rich and increase insecurity in the working population. People who are afraid (of losing their job, social status) don't take any risks: political or entrepreneurial.
I've pretty much given up on politics at this point. Its all so... Stupid.
But it does seem like there's a coordinated effort of focus upon certain topics. While other, more troubling ones, go unmentioned or ignored.
If this comes down to a Trump Vs Putin sort of battle. Than my money is on Putin as he's way ahead in both brains and corruption.
