Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.
