Maybe Ben should have noted that this was covered (including by Bob Bauer) before the news cycle had "moved on"?

I've already had people suggest I should rein in my analysis bc adversaries of all types are reading too closely. A pity my allies don't read me then.

In the worst case scenario, "adversaries" may read your analyses to get them from 2 steps ahead to 15 steps ahead--meanwhile, Mueller is already 45 steps ahead. For all we know, there may be a half dozen unknown cooperators wearing wires, documenting new crimes since the election
