Harry Litman: If she had any self-respect, Pam Bondi would withdraw her nomination. Not only is this the worst affront to the DOJ in its history, it contradicts her testimony and her expressed revulsion for pardoning people who are violent to enforcement while making her look impotent.

Tell these public servants, these Democrats, for there to be successful midterm election victories, they must get on the road & media with a message, Economic Policies for ALL Americans. Pragmatic Messaging is a proven method for winning elections, illustrated historically by FDR in the New Deal.

Your point about how Germany was using lots of Americans in order to keep the US out of the war reminds me of the story I did about American architecture Philip Johnson who was a fascist, a Nazi supporter, had an extensive FBI file…and we just forgot about it jwp.news/015

015 – Glass House: A Warped Mirror

Philip Johnson’s Glass House is a triumph, but his decades-long support of fascism, anti-semites, and the Nazi Party cloud his legacy and how we tell his story.

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent. George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s. Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.
