Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Before we get into what the talk-heads on each side of the left-right media divide have to say, let’s make the Daily Business News perspective simple. This DNC move can be about one or more of the following: fund-raising, energizing their base, distraction, a way to depose people (if this Democratic case isn’t squashed by a judge), and may be a tacit admission that the Mueller probe has yielded nothing to date.
Bottom line, strategy and tactics. That said, Fox Business, CNBC and Cavuto videos follow with their unique takes on what this means.
