Oh... he's "75% there" to believing that it was Trump selling him out, because Trump was escaping mention in the scandal/crimes.
Don't know why I couldn't figure that out.

In the situation room?
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

Here’s the single frame from the video where you can see clearly a masked Border Patrol agent with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand outside the window spraying pepper spray randomly into the open window of a passing car.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Oh, well, that makes selling out worthwhile. Just because your GOP buddies might have conspired to overthrow an election doesn't mean that they should be investigated for it.

The far right took over the GOP through the long process of taking over local and county organizations and the left can do the same. It’s not an instant fix but it actually works.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
