Well, yes. I would hope that part was implied.

And how spiteful the GOPers will be when/if they take over the govt. in 2022/24...

I move that the reporter of this piece receive supplemental pay at the rate established for hazard pay for "work duty that causes extreme physical discomfort and distress which is not adequately alleviated by protective devices." If listening to all that drivel isn't distressing, nothing is. https://uploads.disquscdn.c... Do I hear a second?

Stellar work, Liz. No way I could listen (busy at work), so I'm glad it's your job.

Never thought I'd see a day when a stint working at the White House would be considered a resume stain.

"It's probably not a great thing when the closest analog to your client is always and forever Richard Nixon."

Glorious understatement! Thanks for this, Liz Dye.

I'm wondering if the hypothetical question about a sitting president releasing all records out of spite or revenge included who requested the release. If no one made the request wouldn't the sitting president be in violation of the PRA? Or maybe this incorporated a request from Congress?

The "every imaginable scenario" type of hearing. These are exhausting. You want to say to the judge(s), "did you stay up all night thinking up absurd hypotheticals that have little or no bearing on the issues at hand?"

Then again, this involves Donald-fucking-Trump, and the RWNJs at SCOTUS loom, so they have to cover their bases.
