Layers of fact-checkers

Ace: "Media All This Week: TRUMP MUST EXPLAIN "MISSING 7 1/2 HOURS OF PHONE RECORDS" ON JANUARY; DELETION OF RECORDS RECALLS WATERGATE

The media went full tilt with THE NEXT WATERGATE! and doing the bare minimum of actual journalism had to take a backseat to this MAJOR SCOOP.

Meanwhile, it took the NY Times and Washington Post a year-and-a-half to confirm that Hunter Biden's laptop was real because they didn't want to be too hasty.

This "battered wife's victory" approach doesn't make the January 6th coup coordination go away, you know.

None of this is a defense. But when the substance of the crime is cast to the side, it's easy to pretend the substance of the crime doesn't matter.

And just for fun: Last September, Donald Trump ("I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term") accused Mary Trump of using burner phones in his lawsuit against her.
