Again, can you imagine if a writer of color, a Black reporter specifically, did what Olivia Nuzzi did, what would happen to her career?
Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?
It's a big club and we ain't in it.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

According to the email from Mark Epstein to his brother Jeff,
Putin has a picture of TACO giving oral sex to another man. The email implies Bill Clinton, but it really doesn’t matter who it is.
That’s a kind of Kompromat that would render ANYONE ineligible to hold a security clearance.
