This is John Roberts' America.
The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.
The president’s own chief of staff was reportedly stunned by his pardon of a former Honduran president.

What Weiss seeks most is not money, or power, or great journalism.
It is attention. So, just as the CECOT affair was winding down, she sent this memo to her staff, knowing that it'd be leaked as quickly as it arrived in her colleagues' inboxes.
It's pablum, but it stokes the story for another day.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

So on the day it was required by law to release the Epstein tapes, the DoJ released less than 1% of them. Someone needs to enforce the law. Unfortunately the someone who is supposed to do so is... the DoJ.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
