It’s like some people don’t believe in the presumption of innocence. Gosh, imagine if people like that could start an investigation in search of a crime?

It happens a thousand times a day. Evidence of a crime is presented, an investigation takes place, and a judicial system must decide if there's enough to pursue specified charges.

Sometimes innocent people are being hounded. Sometimes less innocent people are skating on technicalities and loopholes. Since this two year "exonerating" process actually indicted several people close to the President, and got others to cop plea deals, smart money leans to the latter. 

Now that Trump has declared his pursuers treasonous and evil and recommended legal revenge, I'm sure you will grant them the presumption of innocence.

And just when you think you've got this presumption of innocence and guilt thing finally down, some stories take yet another bizarre turn:

Medvedev. I have no Idea exactly what Obama wanted flexibility for that he thought would adversely affect his chances in the election. Oddly, nobody seemed concerned enough to look into it.

They did.  It was about European missile defense.  The Russians were worried the new programs in Eastern Europe would negate their nuclear deterrence.  It was a bad look for Obama, he played it off like he was talking about just having more time after the election to discuss the concerns with Putin.

But really no "crime" to look into.  Just a politician being political.

Then the press got distracted with the “mom pants” issue.

I did a Google search a few minutes ago to refresh my memory.  I found articles from Reuters, Politico, Washington Post, The Telegraph, and even Snopes, among many others.  

They most likely moved on, because after Obama gave his excuse there was really nothing more to report.  He said what he said, and they reported it.  There wasn't a scandal to hunt down...
