Rachel Maddow is fascinating tonight.

More than usual.

She is talking about the diversions and distractions trump intentionally creates when bad news about the Russia investigations becomes public. There is a history of it.

When the four soldiers were kilked in Niger on Oct. 4th, a public announcement was written up and approved by the NSC, etc. But the Executive branch chose not to release it. Why? Why hold on to it? Saving it for another distraction?

It is usually uploaded after 11:00 PM nightly, although MSNBC sometimes is not too prompt with it.

Point your Podcast aggregator search towards Rachel Maddow. You can subscribe either to the video or the audio-only version. The audio version is a small 10MB download for those with limited download capacity, like me. Both have the entire program, sans advertisements.

I have one on my iPad and on my iPhone. They both come with a podcast app. Why don't you try Googling. Or just Google "Rachel Maddow audio podcast" (or video podcast if you have download and bandwidth -- I have neither).

Also, MSNBC posts videos on their site. Google's your friend.

Sorry if that isn't helpful.
