New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace "After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal.

Lmao 🤣
