This report from the Washington Post on lies from the military closes the loop with the report from the Times on lies from analysts in the media. Senior military figures lie about how wars are going. They eventually retire and then get lucrative jobs with defense contractors. From these positions, they sometimes pose as "analysts" to spout similar falsehoods in the media, prolonging futile wars but enriching the contractors. I wonder if the magnitude of the lies told while in the military determines the size of the salary once they are hired by the contractors. The net result, though, is futile wars that can't be won, but with endless spending on them anyway.

If DOJ had to use Nader's bipartisan influence peddling to hold him accountable for being a key vector for foreign influence in our elections, I'll take it. 

The facts presented in the impeachment inquiry are not Democratic claims. They are non-partisan or Republican facts. But in the Republican party in 2019, every fact that is damning to Donald Trump -- even those shared by Republicans -- is treated as a partisan conspiracy.

The September 9 call, which Trump has used to deny demanding a quid pro quo he had already demanded two days earlier, was first invented for an October 7 WSJ story in one of a series of attempts to come up with testimony that would protect the President.
