The Hall of Fire

But a nice guess!

Self-aggrandizing too. That one of his books briefly made the New York Time best-seller list is a fact he never gets tired of mentioning. (But despite all that, I noticed during the Mueller investigation that he and Marcy Wheeler via different paths often ended up at the same place.) I've largely s...

While I also share that opinion, I find so much that Seth Abramson says to be sensationalized nonsense that I have largely given up on seeking out the occasional wheat amongst the sea of chaff.

Oh, good question! And the answer is yes!

Just based on following the reports by Tyler McBrien, Anna Bower and others about today's testimony, I don't think that the cross-examination of Stormy Daniels was as successful as people like Ben Wittes thought it would be. And the re-cross was a downright disaster for them. https://twitter.com/Ann...
