Okay, that is a fair point. It could also be that it isn't everyone's top priority- like it is yours.
Not saying either is right or wrong of course.

I actually have no beef with what you said here- in fact I agree your overall sentiment for the most part.
But it isn't what SHE said. I think sometimes you meet her *at least* half way on some of this stuff because you like her so much.
Which, again- cool. But don't expect everyone to do that- or at least please don't call us all lazy, etc.
I mean, it is reckless *at best* for her to pretend she knows whats in the report, allude to the investigation being partisan, etc.
But then the Civil War shit? Cmon man. That is loony and Trump-style fear mongering. TF was she thinking?

Okay, cool. Her saying "chill you partisan libs, had Trump been indicted we could have had a civil war" is a genuine concern for some of us.
But we know where each other stands on Tusli and I don't think for one second I'm going to change your mind. Just think you're too quick to dismiss people who have issues with her as uninformed.
