“It is necessary to deal w criminals. It is immoral & dangerous to absolve & reward them. Yet this is how Trump’s peace plan treats Putin’s Russia. In the plan’s morally-inverted universe, there is no distinction bw perpetrator & victim, aggressor & defender, militarised dictatorship & democracy.”

Release the Jack Smith transcript.
Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."
