Here's the kind of crap Virginia normies are getting fed each day by the LOCAL news outlets. Mark Warner, a senator who by all rights should be facing charges himself for facilitating the fake FISA app and colluding with foreign actors, is telling voters that President Trump is on the verge of criminal charges.
That's right: In Virginia, the actual criminals get a soapbox to tell unwary citizens that their president is a criminal. This story will be promoted right through the Labor Day weekend when people come back from their summer doldrums and begin paying attention to the upcoming elections.
Truth be told, Virginia is probably lost already. What used to be a 90 percent Republican delegation to the House is likely to be 90 percent Democrat after the mid-terms. Virginia is the swamp.
And, the headline of this story is worse than Warner's actual statements - as per usual, the casual reader will get a much worse impression of POTUS than someone who reads it carefully.
But this shows the damage being caused by the administration holding their cards.
Mark Warner becomes the moral voice of the federal governments.
And voting begins in a few weeks.
It sure would be nice if some info were released to change this narrative and knock these criminals off their pedestals.

'I believe Mueller has much more': A Q&A with Sen. Mark Warner
The Times-Mirror visited U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D) at his Capitol Hill office Aug. 23, two days after two Donald Trump campaign associates, Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, were tagged guilty of financial and campaign finance crimes. Below are key excerpts from the interview.
***
How does the news of Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen affect the committee's work?
It doesn't change much. I think it's significant in that it feels like the walls are closing in on the president.
I don't have any idea where Mueller – Mueller is the tightest run ship.
While the president is right that Manafort's trial had nothing to do with Russia, the next trial, which deals with Ukraine ties and stuff, I think will get into that.
Cohen, you never know what Cohen has.
You step back, you have the president's foreign policy adviser guilty, Papadopoulos guilty, campaign manager guilty, lawyer guilty.
We shouldn't be totally surprised. Remember, this is a guy who, as a business guy, no legitimate American bank would do business with. While I didn't know Trump at all in business, everybody has done business with somebody who always tries to re-cut the deal after you've shaken hands.
How much has Mueller shared with the Senate committee?
Basically nothing. The flip side is, though, we do share our stuff with Mueller. I believe that Mueller has much more – that's just a guess.
Do you have any kind of timeline for when you'd like to see your committee's work on Russia wrapped up?
I think there was pressure from the majority side to get it finished. I think that pressure has backed off now.
Why is that?
Well, you have these guilty pleas, and clearly Mueller is going to have more. We still have a number of witnesses we want to see. There are questions like bringing back Michael Cohen.
From about mid-September until Election Day it's hard to see actions that wouldn't be viewed either way as influencing politics. Now, obviously, that didn't affect Jim Comey in 2016.
You told us about a year ago that the Russia inquiry and the committee's work was the most important undertaking of your career. Do you still feel that way?
I think it is some of the most important work I've done. I view the work I did on the budget – the Gang of Six and Simpson-Bowles, while unsuccessful, very important work.
But I think this – possibly a presidential candidate and now the president was compromised by the Russians. This is the first time in our history we've seen a foreign power attack us with this level of sophistication in a non-traditional means.
