Biden can't do it before the election because he needs the Saudis to not send gas prices to the moon but I would love to see him start taking on the Sanders/Duss theory of international relations as seen through the lens of authoritarian corruption.

Trump is fluent in several different versions of untruth but anything of the "I have had absolutely zero involvement with/no contact with <x>" angry denial is a flat-out lie

Between Stephen Miller's own personal Stasi cosplay department and the NYC FBI field office who spent all of 2016 leaking to Giuliani, does anybody really *doubt* that there are feds out there who will do their fuhrer's bidding?

She might get a weekend of studiously neutral coverage before the deluge: frustrated ex-Biden people, grumpy racist/sexist donors, former coworkers with an ax to grind, Republican oppo. And then anything that seems like it has staying power gets the emails treatment

Sometimes I think of a story former National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes liked to tell of walking into his room in KSA when he was on an official Obama trip and finding a whole suitcase full of jewels on his bed (standard practice, apparently). Wonder what happened to those in the Trump Admin!

Notable that Jen O'Malley-Dillon was brought into Biden's 2020 campaign to try and calm the mercs sprinting off to the press at every foible. If she can't stop it now and Obama's not going to step in, congrats to President Harris.
