Mayes: I worry about how we’ll even know if something gets withheld.

There’s a timing issue: when will the documents be released? There’s a redaction issue: how much will be redacted? And then there’s a completeness issue: how much are they actually going to release?

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Lindsey Halligan's confession that she didn't re-present the indictment to the grand jury creates problems even beyond the fact that that likely means there's no indictment.

Count 2 of the existing indictment relies on the count grand jurors rejected.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.
