The latest ICE statistics show that as of June 29, there were 57,861 people detained by ICE, 41,495, or 72% of whom had no criminal convictions. So much for the “worst of the worst.”

Hey NY Times--
It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it.
There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment.
The only thing that has changed is the Times.

It’s journalistic malpractice for NBC News to spend 34 words in a headline and subhead about the flying bribe from Qatar and not give any hint of the mind-blowingly corrupt nature of the deal. If you’re afraid to honestly explain why it’s a scandal, at least call it “controversial.”
