My TV news blackout broke down temporarily last night. As usual, in ten minutes of viewing I was exposed to less news than punditry. In this case the pundits were “reporting” that the President’s defenders were taking two tracks.
1) The President didn’t really commit crimes because his underlings ignored his illegal orders. And,
2) The President didn’t really commit crimes because he didn’t have “criminal intent” to commit crimes. (Accidental crimes and crimes committed due to blundering ignorance don’t count I guess.)
Pretty weak stuff.
