Beschreibungen/Notizen
  • The specific echo, picked up by numerous other headlines from around the media merry-go-round compared it to the "Saturday Night Massacre" of October 20, 1973, when the attorney general, Elliot Richardson, and his deputy, William Ruckelshaus, both resigned rather than fire the Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox-so that the solicitor general, Robert Bork, was got in to do the deed in their stead.[...]it all "comes down to that concept of 'fundamentally wrong' "- even if there's nothing anyone knows about that is fundamentally wrong.[...]that makes it the off-the-shelf narrative to be reached for and reinforced by suitable quotations from media "experts" whenever there is a potential presidential scandal a-brewing, as there has been since even before the firing of Sally Yates, now enjoying a second round of celebrity interviews on account of her unheeded warning to the incoming Trump administration about Michael Flynn's Russian "ties."In media-land, politicians-especially Republican politicians-are always assumed to be covering something up which it is always going to be the job of the next lucky heirs to the mantle of Woodward and Bernstein to uncover. .My own entirely original theory about Mr. Comey's dismissal, which I promise you I came up with even before Mr. Trump sought to explain himself by calling him "a grandstander" ("Trump Shifts Rationale for Firing Comey, Calling Him a 'Showboat,' " headlined The New York Times), is that it resulted from the latter's transmogrification from humble policeman to a celebrity detective by putting himself at the public and media center of the investigations, first of Hillary Clinton's email server and then of the Trump campaign's alleged Russian connections.[...]as a (sometimes) canny investor, he may well have spotted the political equivalent of the money-making opportunity outlined by the thriller-writer Matthew Lynn in the London Daily Telegraph.
