Haha yeah

Yep.

Uh, I mean, yes. It’s literal, definitional nepotism, and it’s against the law, and once of the consequences of allowing the executive to not follow the law because they didn’t feel like it is that it provides cover for others who want to do even worse.

There is always that chance. But ipeople can learn from the challenges experienced by others

But in this case, one side apparently bulldozed through the political norm that isn’t even around anymore to stop the other side . . .

It’s not really nepotism at all in many ways to me.

The law is not a “qualification law”, it is an anti-nepotism law. The actual content of the law matters, since it’s the only flimsy bit of protection we have when someone bad occupies the office.

It’s not like it’s far-fetched to imagine that it happened; it’s not like it’s a secret that Russia and China engage in state-sponsored hacking of Western targets. But even if it’s true, it’s sort of a banal fact. The idea that it is hugely important or surprising is the ridiculous bit.

I’m firmly in the camp of suspicious leftists who distrust the FBI and CIA
