Opinion: Until the president comes up with actual evidence for his allegations, we’re under no obligation to pay attention
, not nefarious thing, which the Trump administration has requested thousands of times.) But until Trump uses his words to make his charges about Obama more specific, we can only guess at what the actual crime might be.
Now it could be that Obama did commit the biggest political crime in the history of the USA. If there’s a shred of evidence, I want Obama investigated. If the investigation bears fruit, I want him to have a fair trial. If he’s found guilty, I want him punished. But show me that shred of evidence first or I’m going back to bed.
This is where it gets tricky for reporters. But it’s time to establish a new standard for our coverage of the president.
