This is the kind of thing where, you know, I don't know that the White House really thought through sort of giving James Comey this forum to be heard where he is going to be able to potentially call witnesses and

and have a trial.

And as I said, I really think this is one where it's this is such a horrendous moment for the rule of law, for the Department of Justice, for the country writ large.

But I do think that there is the potential for a little like we saw with Mr. Kimmel, that this is that we could see a reversal here where in a matter of weeks,

where we see sort of real pushback by the judge, by a jury, in terms of at a hearing, in terms of what happens here.

So as bad as tonight is in terms of the rule of law in America and sort of going down the road of a sort of Nixonian Hoover type use of the legal system, this is one where

I do have sort of cautious optimism in terms if there really is no there there that the system will hold.

Well, in order to sign the indictment, the U.S.

attorney, the sitting U.S.

attorney has to sign.

And presumably she's not saying that she didn't see the document she signed.

But a lot of times there are people who are lower level who sign on behalf of the U.S.

attorney.

So I wouldn't I wouldn't take there's so many things to be upset about.

That's not the one that I would get really upset about.

This morning in our Slack, Bill was giving Sam Stein grief for wanting to put in a Christopher Nolan quote, wanting to put in a quote from The Dark Knight Rises. Bill was like, why are you always wanting to do these quotes nobody's ever heard of, man? And meanwhile, it's Samuel Johnson and all kinds of good stuff from Bill. So yeah, get the newsletter, everybody. It's a great one.

Thank you for having me, Caroline. The president posted another ad this week for his Trump meme coin. The group that's running that coin is encouraging people to buy in order to win a dinner this month with the president. Why is the president planning to attend a dinner for the top investors in his coin?
