If you've begun to bore of White House scandals, I cannot more highly commend to your attention a detailed study of L'affaire Macron-Benalla. Here's the best minute-by-minute account I've found: francetvinfo.fr/politique/emma…
Yes, yes, it's in French, but you'll more than get the gist if a) You put it through Google Translate; and b) appreciate that this is France, where journalists will get their asses sued off if they say what absolutely everyone is thinking. So you need to read between the lines.
And I assure you that if you do, you will laugh yourself senseless. Look for the double-entendres. "Might this be compared," journalists ask each other, straight-faced, on television, "to the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior?"
They press here is indeed, as BHL complained, like a school of piranhas in a feeding frenzy, and he is absolutely right that no good can come of it; this is rotten for France and rotten for Europe and rotten for the West and just rotten, period. project-syndicate.org/commentary/mac…
But let's also be frank: It's fucking hilarious.
