Witch Hunt

He may have a big mouth, but I've got a pencil. -- Pug Mahoney

   The president and his henchmen continue to dismiss the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election as a "witch hunt."
   So far, more than two dozen people have been indicted, copped a plea or agreed to cooperate with the special counsel's probe.
   That's a lot of witches.

  The latest pronouncement from the White House is that no Americans on the president's campaign were listed in the indictment of a dozen Russian intelligence agents.
   This is true. No Americans were indicted. This week. Yet. There were, however, others who have been indicted on other charges.
   The question now is, who worked with the indicted Russians in the alleged meddling?
   
   Meanwhile, the president continues to bash America's friends, allies and journalists who do their job of asking tough questions and reporting what the president says and does, especially when his talk and actions conflict with fact and reality.
   When the so-called "witch hunt" finds many witches, it's no longer "fake news." In a free society, the pen is mightier than the sword, and a loud mouth is just that.
