Comment on Jefferson and the Art of Power

Sen. Tommy Tuberville described the FBI as frauds because they've been investigating Trump and many MAGA cultists for their criminality. If not for the kangaroo Supreme Court rulings, Trump would be facing numerous trials as we speak. Larry Kudlow, one of the stupidest and most ridiculous of all Trump TV court jesters was upset over Pete Hegseth's nomination being in jeopardy for his sexual behavior, ranted that the FBI doesn't deserve to vet anybody, let alone Trump nominees.

I'm thinking about two stories this morning -- and in some sense they're the same story. One story is President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter, which continues to be the media's obsession.
