Got it. Russia attacks our elections, steals our cyber secrets, supports our enemies and meddles (currently) in our 2018 vote - and they’re worthy of G-8 membership. But a strong G-7 ally says something POTUS doesn’t like at a press conference and it’s time for toughness?

The CIA, at Brennan's direction, kept hidden the documents captured during the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. Not coincidentally, those documents badly undermined the Obama administration position on al Qaeda, Iran, jihadism, etc.

On Thursday morning, The Dispatch published our first-ever editorial calling for the impeachment & removal of President Trump. It's a principled case, driven by a desire for justice & w/concerns for the future (immediate and distant) at its core. 3/

Impeach Donald Trump, Remove Him, and Bar Him From Holding Office Ever Again

It's not merely a punitive act for past offenses, it is a protective measure to guard against further danger.

Michael Cohen is an inveterate liar w/zero credibility. There's no reason to treat his claims as true unless they can be independently verified. If you assumed he was lying to defend Trump and now assume he's telling the truth to criticize Trump, you're part of the problem.

This is false. The election wasn't stolen. It wasn't rigged. Joe Biden won't be an illegitimate president. The reason 77% of GOPers/Trump supporters believe the election was stolen is because the president has been lying about it & voices like these amplify his false claims.

The president is lying. His allegations are w/o merit, his conspiracies are absurd. But they're dangerous because so many of his supporters believe them. Journalists have an obligation to challenge him and correct his lies.

People can disagree with our case. Some folks we respect surely do. We’ve lost some members over it – including of the Founding Lifetime variety at $1500 a pop. We’d gladly publish the same editorial again today. It’s become more urgent – not less – that Trump is removed. 4/
