cc @RepAdamSmith @RepMaloney @SpeakerPelosi?
At this point the only purpose of drawing these obvious observations to the attention to the relevant chairs and leaders is the create an easily searchable record of all the failures and scandals that went uninvestigated.
I guess since this was only three-fourths of a Benghazi it's therefore only worth zero-fourths the outrage?

Floating in the background of the horrendous corruption we witnessed yesterday is the fact that the whole apparatus, from Barr down to these propagandists, has its sites on whoever leaked the news of Flynn's betrayal of the country, and thus his compromised position, to the Post.
That leak was designed to protect the country, but was also very likely illegal. If Barr's goon squad finds the leaker, Trump either gets his scalp, or we find it was someone (like the former president or, uh, current Dem nominee) who had declassification authority at the time.
Either way, the political fallout will be vast. Not because it will vindicate Trump on the merits in any way, but because Republicans aren't scared of using power to shape public opinion. The Obama administration sabotaged Trump! Someone might go to prison for it!

THE NEW YORK TIMES: We can't call Trump a liar, or call his lies lies, because we can't read his mind.

I almost can't believe they just read his tweet and said "yep, this checks out, let's print it in the paper of record."
There's a reality out there that people outside the tiny universe of people immersed in politics deserve to understand. Tell them the truth.

.@RepAdamSchiff just told @Lawrence that Democrats will likely propose waiting to stand up their proposed 9/11-style coronavirus commission until after the election. I can't say I'm surprised at this point but that's just completely unacceptable.
A commission requires legislation. Republicans will never agree to it, even if Democrats agree to punt accountability until after people vote. Pelosi could announce she intends to launch a special committee tomorrow.
A special committee could help the public get a handle on what intelligence analysts told Trump back in January when he was taking Xi's word over theirs–and before Americans have to cast their ballots, not after.
