I get as upset as anyone with the Washington Post and NYT’s routine normalization of the Trump crime family and their cult followers. But I still subscribe, because of their occasional investigative reports, like this report today on Egyptian dictator El-Sisi’s likely $10 million illegal donation to the Trump campaign a couple months before the 2016 election. Send this link to your stubborn conservative uncle who still thinks Trump is a real businessman or a “mogul” or whatever. Investigative detailed journalism is worth paying for, with money or marketing, even if the “both sides” headline writers and corruption normalizing editors frustrate us on a daily basis. Shea told them he was putting a hold on any investigative steps while he got up to speed, people with knowledge of Shea’s instruction said.
