And as I said in the piece, I think what's especially frustrating is the scandal that people like me were writing about and chasing for four years under the Biden administration was that Hunter Biden took $50,000 a month from some Ukrainian energy company

And they maybe might have been potentially trying to organize some business deal for after Joe Biden was vice president and out of office and a private citizen to make a few million bucks.

And we were, I think, rightfully up in arms a bit and had some questions about that.

And we're worried about what that situation meant.

And now we have something on a scale like orders of magnitude larger, much more blatant with a president who's in office and the conflicts of interest are way more live.

and the same people who love my writing about that and were opening every email and interested in learning more about those potential scandals don't seem to care at all about this and i think that's the thing that i find really frustrating amen and i always use the clinton global initiative example also right like that that was i thought a legitimate scandal like she was the secretary of state her husband was running around the world getting money from people that had big interests before our government

I don't know when this episode is going to come out, but I'm writing about this tomorrow.

Okay, so the piece will be live by Friday afternoon.

But I'm writing about this.

I'm responding to a bunch of criticism and feedback that I got about the initial corruption piece.

And one of the most common pieces of feedback was, well, it's well established that Clinton was lining her pockets with the Clinton Foundation.

I'm like...

Actually, that's not well established.

They weren't really lining their pockets getting rich from the Clinton Foundation.

What was a scandal and what was there was a bunch of reporting about was that Hillary Clinton as secretary of state had this foundation on the side that was taking money from people who clearly wanted access to her.

And there was something that was scandalous about this.

And one of the most concrete examples was that a big donor to the Clinton Foundation ended up getting this like

Not even an ambassadorship, just this like very obscure post for some, you know, foreign embassy position.

And I'm like, today, right now, I didn't even mention in my piece the fact that Trump is handing out ambassadorships to France to people who are donating millions of dollars to his campaign.

Like, it is so far down the total.
