Read up on yer boy John Solomon:

You think this clown is credible? LOL. He helped get Trump impeached the first time around.
https://www.propublica.org/article/h...ine-conspiracy
(A) veteran Washington reporter taped an interview with a Ukrainian prosecutor that sparked a disinformation campaign alleging Joe Biden pressured Ukrainians into removing a prosecutor investigating a company because of its ties to the former vice president’s son. The interview and subsequent columns, conducted and written by a writer for The Hill newspaper, John Solomon, were the starting gun that eventually set off the impeachment inquiry into the president.

Looks like the orange windbag is going to get his day in court, the Supreme Court that is.
SCOTUS will hold a hearing on January 5th at the request of the prosecutor, Jack Smith, to determine whether Trump's actions are covered by presidential immunity, once and for all.
I guess we will find out then whether this 200+ year experiment in democracy is still viable. smh

I don't need to "read up" on Solomon.
I asked you a very simple question: source your claim in post 1775 that he had been fired from The Hill. Can you verify your claim or not?

OK, in DC-speak, he decided to "spend more time with the family" or "pursue other opportunities" after The Hill became aware that he was the scribe (within their pages) for a Russian intelligence operation involving Guiliani, Parnas, Fruman and others. Fox News also quit having him on after his involvement in this scheme (which ultimately got Trump impeached) was exposed.

John Solomon is to journalism as Rudy Guiliani is to the practice of law. No wonder you believe him.

Lots of verbal diarrhea just to avoid having to say "No, I can't back up my claim that Solomon was "fired". Sad, but typical.
Nothing more to see here. Move along, everyone.

Indeed, especially when you use it to float a point of view.

Just because The Hill didn't trumpet his firing for embarrassing them by using its pages to promote conspiracy theories generated by Russian intelligence doesn't obviate the fact that he was let go and declared persona non grata on Fox.
And yet you link to his articles and defend his journalistic integrity even though the conspiracy theory he championed resulted in Trump trying to blackmail Zelensky and getting impeached for it. Meanwhile, the other guy you linked to (Tom Fitton) provided legal advice to Trump that got him indicted in Florida for stealing government secrets and obstructing their recovery.
You're batting 0 for 2 in the last couple of days. Maybe it's time that you break free from the MAGA echo chamber and try to reenter reality, despite the difficulty you'll likely find in confronting the truths you've been avoiding for 8 years. It can be liberating not feeling obligated to parrot lies from the likes of Rudy, Solomon and Fitton in defense of your beloved Dear Leader and career criminal.

You are being just as dishonest as your buddy Comer. As an HR guy you should know that 'professionals' usually do not get fired and get walked out. Usually they are given verbal threats in private, "walk or we will fire you". This is mostly to avoid any future wrongful discharge lawsuits, so please try not to play dumb here. I am speaking from personal experience how these things are handled. Want to bet this is what happened to Solomon?

The elephant in the room with your post, once again, is that you have no factual basis for your comments or conclusions.

No factual basis for him being let go by The Hill and becoming persona non grata at Fox News? Maybe you should have read the earlier links I provided you about your useful idiot.
Why do you feel it necessary to defend the journalistic ethics of a guy who was the scribe for a Russian intelligence operation intended to benefit Trump? Embarrassed for being called out for believing this discredited clown?
