This is the most believable reporting of this entire fiasco.
Insanity: Sources close to the White House told the Washington Post Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country because she accepted her Nobel Peace Prize rather than demanding it be given to Trump, which was viewed as an “ultimate sin.”

The Constitution contemplates the possibility of a corrupt, abusive, and insane executive. That’s a big part of how we got a country! And the Constitution includes multiple tools to address that problem when it arises!
The Constitution doesn’t contemplate a Congress this inept, however.

The Constitution is clear:
Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President.
On these counts, Congress has failed.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Did you know that in the event the President dies in office, the Constitution requires that the same thing happen to the Vice President, and that Congress may even provide for it? Other people don’t think that, but that’s not what the clause actually says! I am very smart.

Ok, so, no, CLE is not helpful to clients, and it’s an expensive and time-consuming intrusion into every lawyer’s practice. But does it help lawyers stay current on the law? Also no.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

The baseline expectation of the Trump Administration is maximum corruption, so nobody (certainly not these yahoos) gets excited about business as usual. But Biden suffered from the expectation that he not use the presidency as a personal asset to benefit and enrich cronies, friends, and family, so
Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

I basically don’t believe that the tort of defamation should exist—it is prone to too much abuse, and the downsides vastly outweigh the benefits—but even I make exceptions for baselessly accusing an innocent person of mass murder. Absolutely unacceptable on every conceivable level.
In the wake of the tragedy at Brown, online conspiracists rushed to pin the horrific mass murder on an innocent Palestinian student. One of them was Shaun Maguire, a partner at leading VC firm Sequoia Capital.
