In 2016, I argued that Trump appealed to those who were lost with the fracturing of the myth of American exceptionalism. In 2020, it's clear that if we don't replace that myth with some kind of common story, this country won't survive.

One reason Mike Flynn waited to return Sergey Kislyak's phone call about sanctions on December 28, 2016 was so Tom Bossert could first learn what his counterpart, Lisa Monaco, knew about the Russian response.

There's no good excuse for Murphy not to have signed the ascertainment determination letter already since Biden had passed the necessary 270 votes as of November 7. You'd think as an attorney she'd realize she could be in hot water several times over.

It turns out that Mike Flynn's Transition phone got wiped by GSA, even though he was under active criminal investigation.

Even if the release of former Mexican Minister of Defense Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda is what DOJ claims it is -- a willingness to bow to the sovereign demands of Mexico -- it marks a departure from the long history of big-footing by DOJ.

Glenn Greenwald has spent weeks wailing because no one at big media outlets was reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop. Ben Collins, in summing up his recent reporting noted he had done just that. Glenn's response to was to call him a fraud because he did that reporting at NBC. I guess it wasn't reporting he was really after. 

Sidney Powell just made it clear that Lindsey Graham staffer, Barbara Ledeen, is involved in her effort to undermine democracy.

There have been a lot of predictions of how Trump will pardon his way out of the legal trouble he has racked up over the last four years (even ignoring the New York state investigations). But that's far more complex than people are making out, as the dilemma of an Assange pardon presents.

McCabe's comments to Chris Cuomo about the damning information in the Intelligence Community Assessment implicating Trump probably say more and less than folks are making out.

Trump's newly installed Chief of Staff it DOD couldn't get information about a fatal helicopter accident to his principals in timely fashion, even while President Elect Biden obtained it via open sources.
