    My next book is here! This one was a joy to research and write. I had on-record conversations with dozens of key players – the prosecutors, defense lawyers, law enforcement agents, politicians, targets, journalists, and historians who actually lived the nation’s most pivotal

    It’s been about 100 hours since we learned that the President tried to force the Georgia Secretary of State to falsify election results. That was about three impeachable acts ago.

    Impeachment is “divisive” only if there’s an actual *divide* about the President’s conduct. If you’re ok with what he did, stand up and say it. But don’t hide behind weasel words like “divisive.”

    It’s the next morning and I’m not feeling this “moving past it” thing. Still just as convinced Trump must be removed immediately.

    Legally you can’t un-incite a riot the next day.

    The President of the United States whipped up a mob that murdered a federal agent at the U.S. Capitol. Anyone opposed to impeachment and removal: defend that.

    Mitt Romney’s vote to convict and remove the President is going to age spectacularly well.

    SDNY just announced the Ghislaine Maxwell case - like the original Epstein case - is staffed by the Public Corruption Unit. I worked at SDNY and did sex trafficking cases. They do NOT run out of Public Corruption - unless there is some potential angle against a public official.

    So now Barr has decided (1) that Trump somehow was acting *in his official capacity as president* when he called E. Jean Carroll a liar for accusing him of sexual assault, and (2) taxpayers should foot the bill for Trump’s defense. Another utter debasement of DOJ by Barr.

    At a certain point, Robert Mueller needs to step forward to defend his investigation, his own name, and the prosecutors and agents who worked for him.

    Ordinarily the Attorney General of the United States would personally announce a case as massive and important as the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer. Where are you, Bill Barr?

    The House should impeach the President and the Senate should remove him as soon as order is restored.

    I can think of four times when Trump has publicly extended his best wishes to people charged with federal crimes by DOJ: Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort — and now Ghislaine Maxwell.
