This is Not The Hill to Opine On

Get Your Facts--and Opinions--Straight

This is weird.

When so much alleged journalism is actually opinion masquerading as fact, The Hill forces reporter John Solomon file his top-notch, straight-ahead opinion-free reporting as "Opinion", simply because he's reporting on the actions of Ohr, Steele, Yates and Simpson.

In other words, since the facts make Obama look bad, the facts must be opinions.

Solomon reports (not "opines"):

"The FBI specifically instructed Steele that he could no longer “operate to obtain any intelligence whatsoever on behalf of the FBI,” those memos show.
Yet, Steele asked Ohr in the Jan. 31 text exchange if he could continue to help feed information to the FBI: “Just want to check you are OK, still in the situ and able to help locally as discussed, along with your Bureau colleagues.”
“I’m still here and able to help as discussed,” Ohr texted back. “I’ll let you know if that changes.”
Steele replied, “If you end up out though, I really need another (bureau?) contact point/number who is briefed. We can’t allow our guy to be forced to go back home. It would be disastrous.” Investigators are trying to determine who Steele was referring to.
FBI officials now admit they continued to receive information from Steele through Ohr, identifying more than a half-dozen times its agents interviewed Ohr in late 2016 and 2017, to learn what Steele was saying.
That continued reliance on Steele after his termination is certain to raise interest in Congress about whether the FBI broke its own rules.".......

There is not one "opinion" in that piece. Just facts. And labelling facts as "Opinion" is itself an opinion. Not to mention gutless.

This is opinion, Hill:

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton conducted a seditious coup attempt--not just against Donald Trump, but against the American people and their right to the peaceful transfer of power. They sought to prevent any transfer by criminal means. And the Mueller Fraud is just a continuation of that conspiracy against the People.

Just the facts.
