Daily Brief: Process manipulation continues from the DOJ

The Epstein Trump Files

The party that preaches family values
and forgives everything but weakness.
From family values to law and order, from small government to “personal responsibility,” the modern Republican Party has built its identity on a set of moral claims—and broken nearly all of them.
HYPOCRISY USA traces the party's transformation from Reagan's optimism to Gingrich's permanent warfare, from the Tea Party's rage to Trump's culmination of it all—a decades-long story of principles invoked in public and abandoned in private.
This is not a book about any one politician. It is an anatomy of a pattern: how a party learned that the performance of virtue pays better than the practice of it, and what that has cost the country's capacity to trust itself.

one has no intention of honoring—performed precisely
because the performance pays.”
