Uhm, right. My point still stands, though. You can't lift any story about this because of what that would drag with it. There's always questions, who is to blame, who didn't do their job, what was the motivation of the gunman, lots of little threads to pull on without even trying too hard. If that does become a big story, then the questions are inevitable and no one wants to answer questions about a clusterfuck like that. No one can see a winning angle with any certainty, so they just drop everything about it like the hot potato it is.

Only Trump wants it, and he can't have it, poor guy. Makes my day.
