Hey, if the persistent push of this story plants into peoples minds that Trumps election was somehow tainted or illegitimate then lets just stick with it.

And who "thoroughly debunked"  the Clinton/Russian Uranium deal?  Snopes?

You know as well as I do that had it been Trump cutting a Uranium deal with Russia, the scrutiny from the left would be harsh an unrelenting....as from the Republican establishment as well.

It is hardly "asinine" to report news. On a previous thread you claimed that journalists should just report the facts. Now you appear to be saying they should not report them if they could damage Trump.

Why do you think Americans should not know about the many Trump campaign operatives who met with Russian Operatives while Russia was working to undermine our election process? Are you implying it would make sense NOT to investigate this and NOT to tell the public about it because that might undermine Trump?

When a story about a Clinton uranium deal has been debunked, you nevertheless keep it in circulation. 

And you toss in a claim that had Trump made such a deal, "scrutiny from the left would be harsh and unrelenting." Perhaps it would--until it were discovered there is nothing there. So here is where the right separates from the left--you are keeping a debunked story in circulation.
