    Der Bart (masculine noun).

    Or plural, Die Bärte.

    Still funny though.

    Clearly Rodman is working on behalf of Trump and went with explicit instructions to get that student freed.

    Well done President Trump and emissary Rodman!

    So don't print. Without enough information, you have no story.

    Or, how about this? Now about you go report the story? Track down the people who actually heard the conversation.

    BTW, you are now conflating two stories.

    The Washington Post is reporting he was medically evacuated.

    Four sources is enough info. But that still doesn't mean they report "it was said on Sunday in the Mural Room while watching the Golf Channel."

    Or Newt got the same info and is laying the groundwork. Or, hell, maybe Newt was one of the four sources and is saying what the attorney said to him.

    You're still conflating the "potential" firing of Mueller with the firing of Brarara.

    Duh.

    She didn't just retweet it dummy. She added her own statement, reiterating what was reported, but leaving out that it was based on third hand anonymous sourcing.

    She expressed no skepticism.

    Anyone scrolling by on twitter would believe this is a confirmed story, which it's not.
