In a triumph for US political discourse, @benjaminwittes and I were able to convert our prior Twitter rancor into a productive conversation about the Mueller Report, collusion, the media, and where we differ on those subjects. It was pretty interesting!https://www.patreon.com/posts/26649926

One of the great tragedies of this russiagate ordeal is the elevation of Benjamin Wittes and his Lawfare blog to legitimate commentators. These people are dangerous.
