Haberman is a terrific reporter in no small part because she has great sources, assiduously cultivated. In this case that means Trump & his cronies. This has been crucial to some of the most vivid & damaging reports we have about Trump's court. But it comes at a price.

it's telling that most of the people defending Haberman the last few days are defending her work in general, but not engaging with the actual criticisms people had about the Hope Hicks article

Even Chait didn't really dive into the the Hicks article, just suggested it's not her best work.

To the degree that decided whether or not to obey a subpoena usually entails deciding whether or no to go to jail, I’m actually OK with that being described as an “existential question”, admittedly that may not apply the n this case the way it usually does

When the game is dangerous for millions, it's hard not to question the players that help keep it going. Instead of you know, helping to change the game with their voices.
