The Washington Post was a great, historic newspaper. I thought being bought by a billionaire would protect its solvency and integrity. But billionaires needing to ass-kiss Trump to protect their interests has put an end to that. One of many things to mourn.

Amazing how much power this one man has, and I'm not talking about Garland.
DOJ says AG Garland doesn’t intend to release Jack Smith’s report about the documents inquiry until all legal proceedings have ended against two co-defendants charged along with Mr. Trump.
Talk about letting the tail wag the dog!
This is just crazy.
