David Brooks: "Getting Uncomfortable" About Lack of Evidence Of Collusion Between Trump And Russia; "Getting Ahead Of Ourselves"
Real Clear Politics, Jun 18, 2017, Tim Hains

On Sunday's broadcast of 'Meet the Press' New York Times columnist David Brooks expressed slight concern that the Times and the /Washington Post might be "getting ahead of [themselves]" when it comes to assuming that they will find evidence that President Trump "colluded" with Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Brooks says he is "starting to feel uncomfortable" about the "lack of emerging evidence" to prove such a claim. He says he is concerned that he might have gotten "a little head of ourselves."

"I'm bothered by the lack of emerging evidence about the underlying crime -- that there was actually collusion or coordination between the Trump White House [and the Russians]."

"I'm actually getting more uncomfortable with this whole deal." he said.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.


Brooks is seeing that the center cannot hold?
