Why is no one in the media pointing out that the law is being broken...?

...By Trump and his DOJ every single day?

He signed the law himself. All the documents were to be turned over by a given date and there were to be no redactions unless there was an explanation.

It's the law. They do not get to pick and choose whether to obey or not to obey.

And where is the friggin' Congress that passed the law!

Now they find millions more of documents that they knew nothing about. Can they just leak out a drib here and a drab there until we are beyond the next election and the law is just a distant memory?

They don't even mention it??

All we get is chaos and lies.

Corporate media is the normal now and it's filler or fake way too many times.

...and everyone seems to be caught up in the web of the files being leaked out daily. They accept the gaslighting. Soon it will all be forgotten.

CNN is now faux lite, and soon will be full faux. Even Msnbc will be bought by the nefarious uber rich. It's only a matter of time. When he stole the recent election we got all the paperwork to move, to get the hell out, then my inlaws experienced some health issues so we cancelled. Have to stay. At 85 years old they don't want to move now. Too much stuff. Some other countries offer retirement homes (luxury) at a fraction of the cost, and much better climates. But they look at all their stuff, sigh, and tell us it's too monumental to consider. So we're Hunkering down.

Along with the fact that the law, as written and signed by Trump, has no penalty for noncompliance, and no enforcement mechanism.

Were you expecting the media’s collective hair to be on fire?
