During an interview with Senator John McCain on Thursday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer could not contain his enthusiasm for the idea that the politically-charged congressional investigation into supposed ties being the Trump campaign and Russia could somehow bring down Donald Trump’s months-long presidency: “Do you think that when all of those shoes drop, that they may mortally wound this young administration?”
The exchange began with Lauer advancing the Democratic Party agenda by blasting Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes for daring to publicly reveal that the then-President-elect or his campaign associates had been caught up in “incidental” and “inappropriate” surveillance during the transition: “Can you explain any reason why Chairman Nunes would have done what he did yesterday?...instead of discussing those reports with members of his own Intelligence Committee and the ranking Democratic member, go right to the press and right to the White House?”
