Leftist media outlets never tire of preaching that the great lesson of Watergate is that the cover-up is worse than the crime.
Fair enough, but the lesson would be more credible if those same outlets followed their own advice.
Yet the leader of the leftist pack, The New York Times, proved again Tuesday it is engaged in a massive cover-up of its own.
The evidence is that the paper failed to report what was arguably the biggest news Monday out of Washington:
that Jack Smith, the head-hunting special counsel appointed by Joe Biden’s administration to prosecute Donald Trump, also teamed up with the FBI to spy on nearly a dozen Republican senators.
Thankfully under new management, the FBI blew the whistle on itself, with Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealing that Smith and a team of agents investigating the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, were tracking the communications and phone calls of Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and others.
Patel and Bongino said some of the agents involved in the improper snooping have been fired and the two are continuing to probe the affair.
