New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

One of many alarmed reports from the 1963 Young Republicans convention where John Birchers seemed to be in ascendancy.
