Andrea Mitchell just threw her final shred of journalistic integrity out the window. Very generous of me, right? Most would say she lost her final shred of journalistic integrity after she looked at Hillary Clinton like this:
Instead of reporting the facts, Mitchell is joining with Democratic leaders and wondering how or why lawmakers would EVER release the memo.
It all started with this:
"There is no longer a valid basis for the White House to review the altered document, since this new version is not the same document shared with the entire House and on which Committee Members voted" https://t.co/RynpDtcTLR

Um. Not exactly…
Just talked with House Intel source. Said total changes to memo were: A) Unknown number of 'grammatical and clarifying' fixes. B) One change requested by FBI due to sources & methods concerns. C) One two-word change requested by Democrats for accuracy. House Intel GOP statement: pic.twitter.com/ZkNuMBoLZK

So you’re saying that Shady Schiff’s desperate letter to stop it is essentially over a typo? #fullofschiff https://t.co/6rt5a4TdjR

Andrea is flabbergasted.
How will they justify releasing this memo? Intelligence community is on fire about what they say risks 40 years of congressional oversight of the agencies https://t.co/cbpVtsjVVb

Wait. So is it bogus or filled with truth that could put everything in jeopardy? Pick a lane, Democrats! Too many mixed signals here.
Apparently the press only likes their information "leaked" from unverified sources rather than released openly from congress… I think it will be tough for them to sell their "democracy dies in dankness" byline with this kind of logic. https://t.co/fXHv0UjLtX

HAHA. “Democracy dies in dankness.” Yes. DANKNESS. He obviously meant darkness, but dankness rolls off the tongue well too.
A real journalist wants the truth.
But why would YOU want that?

I remember way back when yesterday you guys published all sorts of classified material illegally leaked. Now that classified material is being legally declassified to publicize you want no part of it. This is why we call you #FakeNews

It feels like yesterday!
"Reporter" afraid of more information after helping leak anything and everything to damage Republicans. https://t.co/rQbo3YrEmp

Andrea,
You should only be asking one question. What if everything in the memo is true.
Can you look yourself in the mirror and justify the cover you have provided people that may have used intelligence and law enforcement for partisan gain? https://t.co/T1FTU2EIet

A liberal "journalist" quoting a liberal opinion specialist. Yeah, no bias here.

Andrea is a shill for the Democrats. They’re all desperately trying to save themselves. It’s hilariously pathetic.
