    Amazing opportunity for three White House interns to dress up like ghosts and change history.

    ICYMI: Nov. 2 Josh Hawley told a TV reporter that a KC Star story about how political operatives steered the AG's office was false, while avoiding me as I waited outside his campaign bus. But records from his office make it clear the story was all too true

    This isn’t what real prosecutors do. And btw not one person has gone to jail or been convicted of a felony in Missouri as a result of this made for TV “raid”, directed by political consultants. “Run of show” and make sure he has law enforcement outfit on? Lord above this is bad.

    Josh Hawley's "outside consultants" directing taxpayer-paid state employees to produce Josh Hawley movies. "Wag the Dog"?? They're even telling him what to wear. No wonder dumped the docs on Fri before Christmas. Good Grief!

    Josh Hawley's office released records today that showed political operatives directed attorney general staff (Hawley said no one ran the office but him) and that staff used private emails for public business (he didn't like it when Hillary Clinton did it).

    This is an astonishing rebuke of Trumpism.

    Mattis’ resignation letter makes it clear. “My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues.”

    As he prepares to leave Congress, tells that aggressively criticizing Trump would not have saved his seat. "As long as you voted for something that the president supported, then you’re a Trump guy. You can’t get out of that."
