At the least all pardons of relatives should be accompanied by full confessions or un-merciful reports. Truth & Reconciliation. I doubt that’s what either Biden or Trump have in mind. https://t.co/6o5bL5UaUA

And a Hunter pardon would of course encourage subsequent presidents’ relative to cash in too, knowing they’ll be held unaccountable at the quadrennial forgiveness bazaar. Not the signal you want to send to Jared! https://t.co/p61WvLERSY

I’m having trouble getting behind the idea of pardoning Hunter. It’s one thing to pardon the outgoing President–eg Nixon. Are we now to give impunity to politicians’ grifting relatives too, in elaborate prisoner swaps between tribal clans? Seems feudal.

It really is impressive that this editorial on Dem policy mistakes doesn’t say a word about immigration or the border. If the @WSJ or @rupertmurdoch likes Mayorkas’ policies, they should just say so. Erasing the issue seems vaguely Soviet. https://t.co/xcsqZJc179

Part of the problem is that “firing those whose bias and incompetence has been on display” almost certainly means firing a lot of mid-level editors, not just the bylined reporters who write the stories the editors want. In @WashPost’s case it means finding a new business strategy https://t.co/D4MLgpKMKP

I don’t think so … but Johnson should really not use the term “comprehensive immigration reform” even if he means HR2 and is being cute. … I do think Donald Trump is all-too susceptible to an amnesty. https://t.co/r8RA9WbQic

Part of the problem is the usual-suspect experts the @NYTimes consults –e.g. Wayne Cornelius–but of course it is the reporter who seeks out these experts knowing what they’re likely to say.

Big post-election progress at the @NYTimes. But 1) still says political turmoil, criminal violence, climate change” and COVID caused migrant surge, as opposed to fact that Biden was letting them in, which they saw as once-in-a-lifetime chance; 2) claims voters worry about… https://t.co/d0j2EjwZB7

Also interesting that Boswell refers to the woman Emhoff cheated with as “one of his daughter’s teachers,” not as also their nanny. Not sure of the significance of this.
