    the only thing I'd dispute here is "moral high ground they've seized" -- rather, it's the proper course of action they've been forced to take and are now trying to blunt.https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1046163932631748614 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Megan McArdleVerified account @asymmetricinfo
    The White House is making a terrible mistake, both morally and politically. Restricting the investigation won't keep embarrassing facts from surfacing if they're out there, and it will undercut the moral high ground they've seized by investigating. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/white-house-limits-scope-fbi-s-investigation-allegations-against-brett-n915061 …

        "Forced to take the proper course of action regarding Ford's allegations" is, alas, one better than the Democrats can claim at the moment.
