Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Why are paid legal expert punditeers still playing along with Trump's "it's just obstruction" line? Is the TV gig too time consuming to look at the actual evidence, rather than listen to Rudy?

      Not to mention if your legal discussion is only, "Can the president be forced to do an interview for obstruction while in office," you're not addressing "can he be forced to do an interview for shit he did before inauguration," which is the question. Do better, pundit class.

          The pundits don’t care. Cillizza (still mad I can spell it) earns millions while you linger in relative obscurity. Size and reach of audience matters more than correct analysis.

          you know, i could just do without pundits in general. One person shows are fine but huge panels are really horrible for news period.

          The sad thing is that there are so many smart experts out there who could provide such amazing insight. But those people never get hired as pundits.

          They've been annoying me lately-I've been noticing a lot of groupthink among the punditry as of late, and a lack of getting below the surface.

          AFAIK, it's the same question -- whether his status as sitting POTUS exempts him from responding to a subpoena, and what showing gov't has to make. Subject matter shouldn't make a difference.

          Couldn’t agree more. More substance on policy, immigration, NK. The constant speculation on less important issues feeds 45’s narcissistic diet.
