If reporters had made any effort to determine the validity of the allegations as they surfaced, Congress might not have been forced to begin the current impeachment process at all.
Last week, CNN revealed that Ian Sams, a special assistant to President Biden, sent a memo to most of the nation’s major news organizations urging them to “ramp up the scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies” and arguing that rather than covering the process, they should be attacking the whole idea as unjustifiable.
Ignoring the White House’s orders to the media on how the impeachment investigation should be covered, the utter hypocrisy is amazing. Take the case of former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who claimed in March 2019 and repeated — even after the exhaustive Mueller investigation found no such evidence — that Mr. Trump, his son Donald Jr. and others involved in his 2016 campaign colluded with Moscow to win the presidency.
Now the media is berating House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for not holding a full vote on impeachment, even though it was considered legitimate when Mrs. Pelosi began the process against Mr. Trump in the same way. The available evidence certainly justifies the investigation. To argue as Mr. Sams does that there should be no investigation without the evidence the House seeks in hand before the investigation begins makes little logical sense.
