Yesterday, I read Joyce Vance‘s post on the Special Counsel asking Judge Chutkan for more time – i.e. more delay. Being who he is, he has some very good reasons. But the line in the post which struck me and gave me hope was this: “[G]etting it right matters more than going fast.” Not that I haven’t always felt that way. But reading it from her hand strengthens my confidence that we can (aabd will) get it right in the end. Also, Robert Reich posted a bonus episode (not originally intended) of his DEBUNK series.
Of course this is one state. But the information that’s being used in this training would be useful anywhere. And our SoS has offered in the past to assist other states (IIRC that offer was made during the pandemic in regard to voting by mail.) I can’t imagine her turning down any other SoS who requested help on this.
If anyone had told me during the Nixon presidency that some day I would look back on that time as a kind of golden age, I would have scoffed. You probably would also. But looking back with Heather Cox Richardson, I now see that the greed and abused privilege of Nixon and his coterie were offset by the integrity of people in the Senate and the press who were determined to get to the truth. Then, as now a point was made of mounting impartiality in the investigators – then as now the President claimed he was the victim of a conspiracy – but then, as is not true now, most people believed the proven facts in the end. Who would have thought.
