NOTE: The words “cerebral event” are NOT in the NYT review. That doesn’t make it less egregious that he withheld it but there’s no need to shape that sin to fit a narrative either.
Actual words: "Describing Trump’s unexpected November 2019 visit to Walter Reed, he reports the White House wanted Mike Pence “on standby to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized.”
That is all that was said. Shame on people for adding to it. It’s bad enough as it is.

This is a time for Democrats to stand for women, not pretend they're "very concerned" over NON-EXISTENT THREATS.
This just makes me so mad. Where was their concern for heightened security for Christine Blasey Ford? Where were Coons and Cornyn when Dr. Tiller was murdered in cold blood? Where are they when clinic escorts are routinely threatened and harassed?
Does anyone remember when @DavidCornDC and I wrote about the #Groundswell group led by Ginni Thomas and organized by Cleta Mitchell?
The organizer of yesterday’s insurrection is one of the top influencers in that group — JennyBeth Martin, formerly of Tea Party Patriots.
@DavidCornDC Because no one calls them out, and because the IRS granted this group of orgs their coveted nonprofit status and further loosened restrictions and disclosures for them, they’ve been allowed to grow a seditious, criminal enterprise, led by the spouse of a sitting SCOTUS justice.
@DavidCornDC Draw a straight line from the so-called Tea Party to yesterday’s coup attempt. In 2013, they longed for a leader. They found one in Trump.
This is why Trump must be removed, barred from public life, and his enablers held to account.
I mean, this isn’t hard, @SarahHuckabee. When you and your handmaids want to force people to give birth only so you can turn around and kill the sons and daughters with diabetes and other conditions, there’s nothing at all Christian about that. Nothing at all.
@SarahHuckabee When you and your handmaids want to kill Black babies who were forced into the world by you, it’s just hard to see what is Christian about that.
