Dean Baquet says that after the NY Times was caught "flat-footed" by the dramatic implosion of the Russia collusion hoax they peddled, the team must do a better job with their new narrative: that their political opponents, including Trump, are racist. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Still going
I sort of assumed they weren't so stupid as to actually believe the Russia collusion hoax as much as running a journalistic resistance operation pretending they did. But saying they were caught "flat-footed" by implosion of Russia collusion story intrigues me ...
They were chief peddlers of a dangerously false Russia collusion narrative for years. It blew up in their faces. It was a humiliating failure. Baquet's introspection: "We won two Pulitzer Prizes covering that story. And I think we covered that story better than anybody else."

Everyone's been assuming TROs can't be appealed but in this order that just dropped, Judge Katsas argues convincingly in his dissent that when lower court impinges on the POTUS's core Article II powers, immediate appeal should be available. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Katsas, the dissenter, is the third judge on this D.C. Circuit panel that includes leftwing judges Pan and Childs (I wrote about Pan's attempt to rig Trump's j6 case in 2023, here: )thefederalist.com/2023/12/19/how…
Judge Pan is the wife of Max Stier, incidentally. Stier, who was on the Clinton defense team during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and part of the effort to smear Brett Kavanaugh, is the head of the Partnership for Public Service, a pro-bureaucracy outfit.

NeverTrumpers are praising Danielle Sassoon for resigning from the DOJ's Southern District New York rather than comply with the new DOJ policy against weaponized investigations and prosecutions. Usually they emphasize her affiliations ... a few quick thoughts...
1) if you do not want to comply with a policy, the right thing to do is resign. I don't know why she said nothing as DOJ did Russiagate, false FISA warrants, cartoonish overprosecution of J6ers, Mar-a-Lago raid, refusing to enforce border laws, etc. but
nevertheless, if she wanted to continue what had been deemed a political prosecution, she can resign. ANYWAY, I keep seeing people posting an image of her being affiliated with the Federalist Society, a group for conservative and libertarian lawyers. She *might* be a member but

In April 2021, I pointed out the absurdity of a hit piece against Kash Patel written by David Ignatius, essentially the CIA's in-house columnist at the Washington Post. Today, CNN Russia collusion hoaxers Natasha Bertrand and Evan Perez closed the loop on a part of that (🧵)
Here's my piece ... in which I noted the curious language Ignatius used to defame Kash. He was "facing" investigation for ... something. thefederalist.com/2021/04/22/dee…Image
Today, Natasha "I spread Russian disinfo" Bertrand and Evan "OG Russia collusion liar" Perez reveal that it was David Ignatius's own CIA that planted this meritless investigation and that it ended up being so weak that even the Biden DOJ couldn't squeeze anything out of it. Image

The "Society for the Rule of Law" attacks rule of law -- They use dangerous and destabilizing lawfare to fight Trump and other political opponents. Anywho, they had a conference last week and I watched two sessions and hoo boy was it sad ...
One featured Liz Cheney's BFF Barbara Comstock and George Conway (along with a sad and broken Michael Luttig and moderator Gregg Nunziata). Several of the panelists were absolutely SEETHING with hatred for Trump and repeating the most far-fetched conspiracy theories about him...
This was generally encouraged even though it came off as absolutely bat guano insane. Then there was a session with former White House counsels Don McGahn, Bob Bauer, and Alberto Gonzales, moderated by Peter Keisler. This was better ...

I keep thinking about this McConnell pledge to fight elected Republicans more than Democrats after the election. It's far more insidious and dangerous than it even seems at first blush.

1/x
The refusal to accept the legitimacy of the 2016 election is a cause of massive ongoing problems. From 2016-2020, McConnell either aided or impotently fought the Russia collusion hoax, costly investigations, the (1st) bogus impeachment, a well-organized and funded resistance 2/x
For the country to truly heal from this trauma, it is not sufficient to just elect Trump, thereby rejecting these dangerous and damaging information operations perpetrated against Trump and the Republican Party specifically, but against the Constitutional order generally.

Democrat propaganda outlet CNN is now running wild with stories about Biden needing to step down to help the Democrat Party win in November. But what were they saying about media outlets who reported the facts of Biden's problems days before the debate? Let's look!
CNN anti-speech activist and censorship promoter Oliver Darcy said that noticing problems at the big Hollywood George Clooney fundraiser meant you were "misleading" readers, for example: Image
Yes. CNN literally had Oliver Darcy call the New York Post to complain on behalf of Joe Biden that they covered POTUS as mentally incapicitated. CNN has in no way apologized for calling such accurate coverage "misleading" as part of their censorship and anti-speech efforts. Image
