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

In all seriousness, there have been vanishingly few good faith discussions between "Russia collusion skeptics," roughly speaking (like me) and "Russia collusion proponents," roughly speaking (like Wittes). So in that sense, doing this was really healthy and I appreciated it.

I'd also like to point out that despite our sizable differences, Wittes and I both agree that Mueller *did* in fact investigate collusion, which you can apprehend by reading Page 180 in Volume I of the Mueller Report. So, Twitter nitwits can put that in their pipe and smoke it

I particularly commend Wittes for self-reflecting on the utility of his well-known Twitter slogan "BOOM," which he used to amplify some stories which proved to be untrue. Nonetheless, as he makes clear, the "baby cannon" lives on

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this might be the first good-faith, extended discussion between "collusion skeptics" (roughly speaking) and "collusion advocates" (roughly speaking) since the Mueller Report

That was before the Mueller Report was released
