Thank you, Isaac. That is awesome. Very honored to make the top 10! Please don't read any more book, as they might knock me out.

2018 in a nutshell: Russia put a decorated officer and war veteran on RT to pretend to be a traveling nutritional supplements salesman on holiday to Salisbury so that Margo Simonyan could suggest he's really covering up for the fact that he is gay.

And a quick Google search reveals that Kagan, Roberts, and Sotomayor all graduated summa cum laude from their respective undergraduate institutions. As did... Merrick Garland.

Well that was after the crackdown, so I'd say, pretty good!

Lol at conservatives claiming Kavanaugh couldn’t have done all this b/c he graduated cum laude! For someone who went to an elite high school to then graduate cum laude from Yale in 1987 was in fact a sign of heavy drinking—as Yale itself soon realized.

Yeah, not to mention they won the whole thing as recently as 2014. This person knows nothing about hockey.

In the event that Rosenstein does not get fired, I urge everyone to come to the library tomorrow (Tuesday) to talk about life in Russia, authoritarianism, hockey, literature, and the CIA, with me and Mike Vasquez.

You still have your scoop. You still get to suggest that Rosenstein's ideas were pretty far out. But you also put it in context, which is, on one end, the Comey firing, and on the other, the Mueller appointment. Then ppl can discuss whether Rosenstein's suggestions went too far.

For the record, I think the responsible way to run that story would have been under a headline along the lines of: "Eight Days in May." The first graf could have been:

One of the NYT reporters on the story also tweeted something to this effect yesterday--at least I think he did, as I can no longer find it. It's an interesting defense of their story: "Don't worry, Trump is too preoccupied to notice what we ran on our front page!"

So it looks like Twitter was right about the NYT Rosenstein story. Again!

Goldsmith compares it to the Strzok/Page texts—not actually harmful but they look bad, a violation of “norms.” Whereas in fact this is like the Hillary emails or her server—a refusal by the press (led by NYT) and liberal elites to contextualize and have a sense of proporion.

What would “insubordination” mean in the context of Rosenstein being in charge of an investigation (election meddling, obstruction of justice) of which his boss (Trump) is a likely target?

This passage from lays out why Rosenstein’s comments, even if he didn’t follow up on them, could be fireable, but I’m not convinced.
