The Durham report on FBI/DOJ malfeasance in the investigation of Russian Collusion has dropped, and it paints a horrible picture. Where does this scandal fit into tragedies like January 6th or Pearl Harbor or the Civil War? What makes this worse than Watergate?
But most-importantly, how does this report color our assessment of the victories and failures of the Trump Administration - from personnel to policy? Andrew and Jerry have a heated discussion over the impact the investigation had: the impacts of delegitimizing Trump from before he was even elected to how this compromised the administration's ability to attract (and retain) top talent. Just what was the Trump administration's record, in terms of real achievements and where the administration (and, by extension, Trump himself), fell short. How did optics play a role, again both in political decisionmaking and personnel? Was Trump a savvy fighter? What should he have done regarding oppositional bureaucrats?
What does it all mean for 2024... and beyond? And why can't people connect the dots between what they vote for, and the policies those votes produce?
