Reporters don't do a 5pm Friday news drop themselves. Reporters have consistently been dropping big stories between 5-7pm since this administration started, possibly to gently caress with white house staffers who then have to stay late to deal with the latest poo poo bomb.

I thought news agencies pretty routinely dropped new stories at 5pm, including Fridays, because it gets the most viewership during the evening/weekend when the admin will be slow to coordinate a response. That sword cuts both ways.

My money's on Priebus. That tweet sounds pretty telling. And yeah, the sheer number of lies and omissions that have been spooned out about this meeting, in slow drips and later contradictions, has convinced me that we're not near the end of this.

How are we getting this information again? Is it being leaked, or are people cross-referencing Kushner's thrice-amended security form? Are the people that have been outed even reported on Kushner's security form?

If the NYTimes is waiting to drop the name of the last person in the meeting, then the answer is it must be someone very boring, like a flunky or secretary. Big news just drops without warning, always. No need for build up if it is genuinely big.

Good luck finding a new one, Kushner. Hope they all end up having to defend themselves. As the old saying goes "he who chooses to defend himself has a fool for a lawyer."

Trabisnikof posted:Traditionally the term hasn't meant media reporting: http://politicaldictionary.com/words/friday-news-dump/ It was beneficial to throw your own poo poo out on Friday back when people got their news from weeknight TV news hours, because you could hope it would get buried by weekend events before people watched the news again in a few days. Today people go home from work and are bombarded with news all weekend, so it's done a 180 and turned into a great way to shove someone's nose in their own poo poo for a few days.

DaveWoo posted:I guess this is the new defense for Trump Jr: Someone needs to point out that the accurate analogy would be if people admit meeting to discuss and plan a robbery then a robbery happens but they claim that it's completely coincidental that the robbery happened after their planning meeting, was the bank they discussed robbing around the time they were planning on robbing it. Of course you could always ask if they are in favor of commuting the sentences all the Muslim "terrorists" were were arrested because they fell for on of those FBI setups where the only people the "terrorist" ever interacted with were FBI agents and there was never any actual risk of a terror attack happening.
