On the Mueller report and the Jussie Smollett scandal.
Talk about burying the lead—or “lede” as our journalist friends waggishly prefer to spell it. Here’s the Washington Post headline to a story, by Toluse Olorunnipa and Matt Zapotosky, about Andrew McCabe’s revelation on national television (on the eve of Presidents’ Day!) of what amounted to a projected coup d’état in 2017 by himself and an anti-Trump faction of the fbi and the Justice Department against the newly elected president by invoking the Twenty-fifth Amendment’s provisions for presidential incapacity: “Trump trains his sights on McCabe as the Mueller report on Russian interference looms.”
