Mr. Brooks. This was your chance to be a savvy journalist and not follow the trend to freak out because the FBI implemented the law. The collision of Trump’s base with truth and justice and its celebration of being attacked by The Regime is not news.I so wish you had waited to hear more details of the classified papers and criminal likely acts of Trump’s confiscating documents. Then stick with his treachery. Yes, the more he is exposed as a traitor the more they love him. But you journalists must stop this panicking that simply thrills the base and inflames their power. Calm down. Stand back. When the enemy is in your face, that’s when you need your most thoughtful skills. When a collision course is ramping up, choose the direction you take, like a brave race driver who figures out how to avert the opponent. Keep your hand on the wheel of expertise in a time of crisis.
