The easiest way to have your career destroyed was to speak out against Israel.

Seeing these people as heroes who come home to hero's welcomes and things like that because they're concerned that will incentivize people.

That's what they want to do with Puckrick.

You know, I don't really like to critique public officials on the basis of intellect, but I do have to say that I think the last two cabinet officials that Trump fired were by far his two dumbest, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi.

I really think that's one of the problems that she had.

I also think that Trump has a lot of demands for Pam Bondi that aren't really attainable within Congress.

just our traditions of justice and the way in which the courts work and the legal system works.

And he felt frustrated by the fact that she wasn't able to successfully indict Tish James and James Comey and people of that strain.

And I guess he thinks that if he puts somebody in there who's both smarter slash more competent and more aggressive, he'll be able to have better results.

I haven't seen the leaked emails, but I definitely have been hearing for a couple of months that Trump is particularly frustrated with both Kash Patel as well as Howard Lutnick.

And I think Kash Patel has on many occasions looked like that.

And he and his wife, you know, 15 years ago, got so disgusted by what they saw that they ran out and swore they'd never have anything to do with that terrible, horrible, creepy man again.

And then the Epstein files came out, part of them at least, and showed that Howard... So these are the sort of things that are kind of embarrassments that Trump really, you know, wants to punish.

This is, there's this term that I've always hated called limited hangout, and one of the reasons I hated it is because it was often used to disparage WikiLeaks, the reporting we did in these big cases where we would divulge a lot of files, like in the Snowden reporting, where people would try and imply, oh, you've

You made it look like you disclosed a lot, but that was just a way of justifying the concealment and withholding of the documents that are really incriminating.

A lot of people think that's what happened with JFK, too.

And although I still dislike the term in some ways that it's deployed, I have come to believe that that is something the government does.
