This piece kinda begs the question; how did Maggie Haberman become the Maggie Haberman of the Trump administration? Even at her "best" she is a box of very cheap wine (no matter who you are or how much you drink, all you're getting out of it is a headache). Never made sense that anyone would confide in her, at least not more than once. I often thought she was just swagging it, which wouldn't be that hard with that collection of half-wits.
some of us who grew up with a bipolar parent or married an alcoholic are quite comfortable with boring and routine especially when the parent or spouse sucked all the oxygen out of the room.
Remember when the Press used to ask hard questions of the world's dumbest President - Bush the Younger - to the point that they needed to sneak in a fake reporter to toss him easy ones?

THIS! Investigative journalism has turned into 'get famous/rich' shock jock rubbish
Yes, We should use that as a euphemism for all nepotism hires. Her dad was a real reporter, though.

It seems like she was the useful idiot for getting things accidentally on purpose "leaked." And it also seems likely she was in on the fix.
I guess this is the reason TFG got 11 minutes of air time for every one of Hillary's in 2016.
kind of an ouroboros? If only...

and if you rub the case, it gets bigger.
