Wrote this in June: “Seemingly in recognition of the infirmity of its criminal case, the Justice Department has already begun to construct an off-ramp for itself… they’ve now laid the groundwork for a full-scale retreat.” nymag.com/intelligence...

The Unraveling of the Kilmar Abrego Garcia Prosecution
First sloppiness, then threats of deportation. This is not how things ordinarily work.

Opinion | Would Pam Bondi Stand Up to Trump as Attorney General?
The former Florida prosecutor is qualified to be the U.S. attorney general. But will she stand up to Trump when it counts?

The end for TikTok in the U.S.? The Supreme Court decides soon. (I’m guessing no, but we shall see.) My latest for @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/…

New from me for @nymag.com: “Now, with one bold and controversial move, Biden has mostly fulfilled a campaign promise that it seemed he’d all but abandoned.” nymag.com/intelligence...

Joe Biden’s Big Reversal on the Death Penalty
Quite unexpectedly, the president has made good on a campaign pledge he seemed to have abandoned.

“In an industry full of unthinking conformists, CNN’s senior legal analyst is as valuable for his independence as he is his expertise.” Honored to be included on the @mediaite.bsky.social Most Influential in Media list.

My latest for New York Magazine: “Even if you take every word of the House Oversight Committee’s report on January 6 as gospel — and, please, don’t — Liz Cheney did not commit a crime. It’s not close.” nymag.com/intelligence...

The GOP’s Criminal Case Against Liz Cheney Is a Total Mess
If Trump’s DOJ actually runs with these flimsy accusations, it will be a very bad sign.

Hi everyone. I’ve resisted starting yet another social media account but it seems there’s a critical mass of sorts here on Bluesky. Will begin posting more actively in the coming weeks. Hope this can become a constructive forum for smart and fair legal and political discussion. Have a great holiday.
