Also think there should be a line in there somewhere which clearly confirms that JE understands and recognizes that he did something wrong

Seems very good. Is there reason or opportunity here to evoke JE's Clinton connection? He had been publicly connected to the former President and became a proxy for the considerable anger at high levels of the Federal government that still surrounded Clinton.

To the contrary, Jeffrey was subjected to an unprecedented federal intrusion into a quintessentially local criminal matter in south Florida. His offense to the social order --involving sex for hire -- was entirely a matter entrusted to laws of the several States, not the federal government. His conduct - a classic state offense --was being treated exactly that way by able, honest prosecutors in Palm Beach County, but the overweening federal government intruded where it did not belong.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

If your theory of change involves a third of your coalition shutting up and you have no coherent analysis of earned media, you do not in fact have a theory of change.

on a slightly closer read this piece suffers from the same malady as every TCW piece: he is incapable of dealing with the substance of a thing. the most relevant thing to him is that jan 6ers and george floyders *sounded the same*, the substance of what they wanted is irrelevant. this is stupid.
