I know Dunning-Kruger references are overused, Mr. President, but the concept does seem particularly apt here.

That, or did you mean inanity?

Bower is a mensch.

And Halligan is a hammerhead. Not in the shark sense, but in the head-consisting-of-hammers sense.

I particularly enjoyed Halligan’s claim that Bower “isn’t even a journalist, so it’s weird saying” that her chats were off the record.

I mean, if Bower’s not even a journalist — if she’s just someone on social media — there is really no such thing as “off the record.”

Immense respect to Anna Bower.

She’s been doing exceptional work with Lawfare for several years now. Let’s hope she doesn’t jump to one of the “mainstream” outlets, where she assuredly wouldn’t be allowed to do work of this quality.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Judge Ryan Fucking Nelson confirms that he is a very bad guy.

His concurrence begins with the claim that courts have no review authority here at all, and that he isn’t even bound by Newsom. He goes on to author a nauseating master class in judicial suicide in the face of fascistic executive power.

A few calls to the big milk guys might do the trick.

The next president has to tear the goddamn thing down. I am not kidding. Use private money. It can be found. Make a show of it.

Why are you people unwilling to say what literally everyone on the planet who reads this knows, which is that he lied?

If ICE/CBP hasn’t unilaterally directed the internal preservation of evidence relating to these events, like video, then any “lost” evidence is tantamount to a concession that it’s pretty ugly for them. It seriously undermines what vanishingly sparse credibility these people have left.
