That was a comment on this opinion piece at The Hill suggesting Mueller may have a Deep Throat witness on Russia:

Bannon is absolutely right about this. When there was a Russian operation to support Trump over Clinton using material surreptitiously obtained by Russia, anyone on Team Trump who knew about this should have reported it to the FBI immediately.
The big question today is whether anyone in Trump circles who knew about this covert Russian operation did, in fact, go to the FBI and expose it. If anyone did, it would have been an act of high patriotism, and that person would be a Deep Throat witness for the FBI and Mueller.
I do not subscribe here to the use of the word treason." But if Bannon knew about acts he considered treasonous, it is fair to ask whether he went to the FBI himself the minute he learned about them. It is crucial to ask Bannon and Wolff whether the Deep Throat question was discussed in preparation of the book.

(129,018 posts)Forget the "press the button" TVs. I remember the turn the dial ones complete with vertical and horizontal picture adjustments knobs... It took awhile to get used to the push button channel selector.
I remember my sister's godmother had a wired remote for their TV with a hardwired top-loading VCR back in the late '70s.
