I've been a reporter for a long time and this might be the strangest thing I've ever done. We've been reporting on privatization of schools this year and found that just about anyone can open a private school in most states. So we asked, Could reporters do it?

Our reporting has shown how easily people — some with questionable backgrounds — have founded their own private schools in barns, strip malls and other places. That led us to an experiment: If the hur...

I loved CIA. I love it still. Which is why I will be blunt: the director is corrupting it. John Sipher and I spent decades inside — he running operations, I writing analysis and briefing presidents, including this one. We took the same oath John Ratcliffe did, and he is failing it.

I don't think there's anything wrong, necessarily, with the press corps taking a "where's the money coming from" angle on Trump's election eve bribe to the public, but I do feel very strongly that if Biden had done the same thing, the coverage wouldn't have focused on the nuts and bolts.
