Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's redacted report on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. By Kathryn Cramer Brownell Kathryn Cramer Brownell, an editor at Made by History, is associate professor of history at Purdue University and author of “Showbiz Politics: Hollywood in American Political Life.” April 19 at 6:00 AM The long-anticipated Mueller report has at last been released.
Of course, he isn’t the first president to have a roller-coaster relationship with the media. Richard Nixon’s political career was defined by it. In 1952, he famously saved his vice-presidential spot on the Republican ticket by holding a nationally televised conversation with the American public, in which he discussed, in intimate detail, his family’s finances.
But Nixon’s downfall came when the very same tactics he had mastered were wielded against him. The Watergate hearings were televised for the nation to see, putting the Senate Judiciary Committee at center stage, with senators like Sam Ervin becoming national celebrities. The hearings gave Congress a taste of what presidents had long cultivated: the vast power of television.
In reality, however, this deeply public spectacle, which enabled Americans to judge Nixon for themselves, deflected charges that the investigation was partisan or much ado about nothing. Senators like Ervin appeared poised and reasonable. And the list of White House crimes committed was shocking. The result was a media circus, but Clinton won where Nixon lost. Why? Because Clinton’s spinmeisters had mastered the post-Watergate media landscape and were ready for a televised battle for political justice.
Yes!!! The report is a road map, it has now Given Congress the pieces that are now put In the hands of the Congress to perform their oaths of office and to protect our constitution And our democracy!!
Wapo - still spinning? Zero credibility
Can’t do no time if There ain’t been no crime . Can’t impeach if the Deep State don’t reach into the United States Senate . Move on dot whatever.
🤮
The vile , evil democrat party continues to attempt a coup against an elected president operating outside the law to falsify evidence as cause for impeachment
Any hearings should have nothing but fax that can be backed up with evidence or those people stated them should be charged with crimes of perjury!🤥
Procced at your own risk!
Blabla, distractive shit. fakenews Post some news! How about the jamalkashoggi case? How serious is your president colluding with israel? Why the support for the murderous Saudi regime? Etc. Give me some shocking news not this fake russia crap.
Baloney. Hogwash. Garbage.
KathrynBrownell Get over it. Voters are sick. Muller found zilch nothing nada rien. Trump 2020 100%%
Dream on
On to prosecution of radical Islamist communist Hussein and crook hill!
Putin is laughing even harder now.....the report is out and instead of the focus being on what the Russians did in 2016 we continue to destroy each other on the biggest stage in the world. The verdict is in lets move on and make sure Russia can't ever do that again.
It’s all a distraction to keep everyone from paying attention to the corruption of Hilary and Obama
Ooh my my ( That’s ): Gonna be Good Girlfriend,
'Obstructive Acts'! What about committing crimes to falsely FRAME someone. Jesus Christ you people are relentless. Stalin would be proud of you.
He is like Nixon. Trump isn't in trouble for having affairs out of marriage. Although he has had quite a few.
Bit like it’s not the crime that gets you but the cover-up !
You mean the treasonous House Democrats, right? After all of their bullshit, guess what, Trump will still be President 😀
Nope. It's over moonbats. Pinch yourselves and wake up.
Please let him be Nixon and resign.
Zzzzzzzzz
If Democrats push more nonsense hearings and continue to waste taxpayer $$ on this hoax of an investigation, it will certainly backfire on them come the 2020 election! Time for Liberal Congress members to move on and do their jobs the American people elected them to do!
SDNY
If the Democrats and SpeakerPelosi don't screwed this up, you're right. But they are make the wrong kinda noises right now. More pressure means the realDonaldTrump will resign and run like the coward he is
Of course it is, although you think we are all idiots, but we remember when you were spouting that it was ALL about the Mueller report!!! You should just merge with the DNC and call it a day!!! FakeNewsMedia
Go ahead. Make my day. Heads are going to roll and it won’t be Trump’s. Then you’ll move back to taxes. And lose again. As you always do. I love it.
Oh, yeah.
If there are no charges, you are presumed innocent in this country. That is not what the far-left wants. Get honest news analysis on the NoSpinNews on .
Whatever... I’m putting my trust in an alien UFO 🛸 invasion👽
Klicking your 👠 when you write that?
You might not want to know the truth.
Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. People are tired of showboating politicians while the work of government goes undone.
Who cares what the House does with this? They are wasting their time and our money.
Lol. Dragging this theater on only aids Trump.
The House needs to subpoena trump for his testimony.
Lmao. No,, no it isn't
President Trump will be reelected. He deserves the office. He was duly elected by honest voters. Democrats are sour over the fact that Hillary didn't become president. However, Obama knew about this fake hoax and still didn't chime in. Can't wait for his indictment.
goal post moved . predictable
Make Ivanka and Jared and Don Jr. testify in public. They have been caught.
More propaganda by the post
Move on already.
Si es asi de relajado en todos los casos este Mueller lo despiden pero, ya. Papa drumptf será bueno contigo. Lame duck

OOOOOOOHHHHHhhhhhh so THATS what’s gonna do it. Yup. The hearings to come. That’s the ticket.
Let it go already. You're embarrassing yourself. NoCollusionNoObstruction
yes, I agree... Will GOP continue protecting him, no matter what, just to be re-elected? talk about party over country!!!
Have you guys been right about anything over the last 2 years? This is all damage control.
Half the country thinks the hearings are a witch hunt.
The sound of goalposts moving. Your newspaper is pathetic, dishonest, and should be completely dismantled. What a pity.
And they better be coming, followed up by ACTION.
