You’re quite enthusiastic there with the idea that anyone would actually investigate any of that instead of just saying “yeap, treason!”

Let’s run a little scenario: a reporters post is doctored or posted completely outside of their control. Their boss calls them in:
“Did you post this?”
“No”
“Yeap, treason!”
Please don’t confuse enthusiasm with critical thinking.

You haven’t watched the news lately, have you? Trump simply says you’re a traitor and you’ll be “investigated” as in someone will write a doc saying why you should be deported (you’re a terrorist! Evidence not required) and you’ll be on a flight out.
This current US government really doesn’t give a shit about facts

Ah yes, because this administration is SO good about providing people with due process.

What I’m trying to convey, in the face of your obnoxious sarcasm, is that while the administration would of course interfere in what should be an objective investigation, politicians and reporters have a wealth of powerful advocates in their support networks. The administration can only control the message/investigation of the SS. They cannot control the message or investigations of the victim’s support network, however hard they may try.

Dear baby Jesus, dude, go watch some “news” from US sources? Everyone just went with the program and there is very little pushback from the press. Oh yeah, there is pushback but it’s a fraction of what it could be, should be.

Amazingly enough, there are more people in the world than the rich, famous, or powerful. Most people do not have that “wealth of powerful advocates.”
Those people also deserve the rights you’re so callously ignoring.
