As expected, dispute appears to be over White House demands to break the law. These aren't 'disputes'. Law is clear on this. Only mystery is how it was that Long, a very Trumpy guy and not part of the ethics community, seems to have not gone along, or not enough.

We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him.

Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

Or make a criminal referral to DOJ. Yes it will not be acted upon but lying to Congress about something that could kill many Americans is a serious crime.

Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
