But didn't NYT also start the thread w/ it's reporting on this surveillance issue?  Can they have it both ways?  First releasing a story, then backtracking and saying that it's not a story?  There still is no evidence...none...to support a Russia tie to the outcome of our recent presidential election and yet the big boy news orgs are still trying to lead readers down that road.  Good answer, though.  Don Lemon also is not considering the surveillance of US citizens, the unmasking of US citizens, and the subsequent intelligence leaking of US citizens as rising to a level sufficient enough to warrant his time on the air.  He said so publicly the other day.  How does it relate locally to Hawai'i?  Let me count the ways.  Just any comments from the local Dem party leadership would be a good start.  Its election time soon.  Maybe even Tulsi?  Or Hirono?  I already know Schatz's view on this.  I asked him.
