[Ed. How will they manage to quash the story in the event Obama is subpoenaed to testify before Congress?]

Politico publisheda jaw-dropping, meticulously sourced investigative piece this week detailing how the Obama administration hadsecretly undermined US law enforcement agency efforts to shut down an international drug-trafficking ringrun by the terror group Hezbollah. The effort was part of a wider push by the administration to placate Iran and ensure the signing of the nuclear deal.

Now swap out Trump for Obama and Russia for Iran and imagine the eruption these revelations would generate. Because, by any conceivable journalistic standard, this scandal shouldve triggered widespread coverage and been plastered on front pages across the country. By any historic standard, the scandal should elicit outrage regarding the corrosion of governing norms from pundits and editorial boards.

Yet, as it turns out, theres an exceptionally good chance most of your neighbors and colleagues havent heard anything about it.

Days after the news broke, in fact, neither NBC News, ABC News nor CBS News whose shows can boast a collective 20 million viewers had been able to find the time to relay the story to its sizeable audiences. Other than Fox News, cable news largely ignored the revelations as well.
