Levin: Two years ago, after Trump was elected the 2nd time, there was conventional wisdom around the country, within Washington, D.C., and the elite circles who said that the smart move was to capitulate. But that’s not what happened because millions of people around the country refused to give in.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.
