❤️Bravo. You understood. Eliminating the 'truth' was a forte of you know who. It is one of the oldest games around. It has to be addressed in government and in what comes out of our mouths and what is expressed in our writing. Propaganda isn't limited to one side of an argument.

Fern, it is not propaganda that two career lawyers quit after having pursued the case for five years and were in grand jury indictment proceedings when the new DA called off the whole thing after being on the job a month.

The above is fact.

It is imperative that people who can think then come up with the most probable reasons that the case was dropped when it was so close to producing charges.

Links to payoffs will not be found on the web for posting here Fern.

To kibbitz a bit: Yes, The New York case is fact, and we know it, but for the sake of others who might read it and NOT know it; a citation of the printed information from a trusted source makes us different from talking heads who don’t have to prove anything — but just keep repeating it!

Patricia.

This makes sense. I had posted a gift link to this article a week or so ago on these boards when the NY Times first published their article.

I should have looked that up an added it. Agree.

Fern, I will be monitoring my own comments even more for cites and sources than I already do; however, I like the other replies to your reply as well.

Gus, my intent concerns the value of facts, coming as close to the truth as we can and not indulging in unsupported accusations and the thoughtless use of language. Truth has taken a terrible beating; deep divisions among people encourages biases, finding fault to find fault, mistrusting almost everything and everyone. Standards disappear, incivility grows and 'reality' evaporates. Such behavior are aspects of a collapsing democracy.
