I'm pleased to announce that my new book, "The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy," is now available for pre-order, in advance of publication in Feb 2025. Kind of timely, I'm thinking.

- Please note that the words "nasty," "shrill," and "strident" are never used to describe male politicians.
- Note the mostly buried news that State Dept closed @HillaryClinton email probe with this verdict: no big deal. As a journalist, I regret my role in blowing this story out of proportion.
- The corruption, rot and incompetence of William Barr's Justice Department are extraordinary and heartbreaking.
- State of play: @realDonaldTrump is unfit to run a charity in New York State but fit to control nuclear weapons that could destroy the world several times over.
- Judge Sullivan just named former Judge John Gleeson to investigate the Michael Flynn case. Gleeson and I were colleagues in the US Atty's office in Brooklyn. He is the single best lawyer I have ever encountered. This is a brilliant appointment. #Flynn
- Cohen committed crimes "In co-ordination with, and at the direction of" @realDonaldTrump . Thus, President appears to be co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor of a federal crime.
- Comey's statement establishes obstruction of justice by Trump. Period.
- This tweet, by itself, may be an impeachable offense.Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......
- Breaking: @RepAdamSchiff will probe @realDonaldTrump 's personal finances, obtain Deutsche Bank records as HPSCI chair in Jan. My @NewYorker story.
- Dem language changing. Quid pro quo out; extortion in
- He murdered Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.Coming Soon!!!
00:00 - You heard it here first. There will be calls for a criminal investigation, and probably an actual F.B.I. investigation, of the Democratic nominee for President in 2020. Doesn't matter who it is.
- Forty percent of the Republican appointees to the Supreme Court have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct. #SCOTUS
