    Huge loss for the US Govt in a case that, as & noted on their podcast, has implications for scope of post-9/11 AUMF and civilian courts’ reach on the battlefield.

    This is an excellent piece from that gets a lot of things right. Amazing what happens if you talk to actual FBI folks and people like David Kris about what’s going on.

    Hey look! I agree with Sarah Sanders about something important!

    Thanks for that, man. It’s a great organization that’s been doing it for decades. Some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met.

    I was amazed at your gesture yesterday and the response. For the people lamenting they only had a little to give, "It's the thought that counts" was never truer than for every donation made to the

    I don't know anything about this group, but I trust 's judgment, for those who looking—for whatever reason—for a good Haiti charity to support.

    Coincidentally just had a similar idea (though on a small scale). Kudos trying to turn bitter lemons into lemonade.

    It's just a thought. I'm very interested in people's thoughts in response.

    And we would ask in exchange that the groups in question publish the amounts the President tweets netted them—so that the public, and presumably the President himself, could see how presidential nastiness translates into social good and support for the attacked.

    We would ask people to donate in the name of the attacked individuals, so that the raised money would be very clearly a financial windfall to the group that resulted specifically from the President's tweets and attacks.

    What if we set up a coordinating committee to identify charities and advocacy groups doing work on behalf of people the President attacks? Whenever he tweets an attack on someone, we would tweet out a vetted thematically relevant group for enraged citizens to donate to.

    I don't know how much money we raised for FBI agents' families, but I suspect it was substantial. In other words, we translated some malicious Trump tweets into both a message of support for the institution he was attacking and financial support for the sort of folks he attacked.

    Yesterday, Trump attacked two honorable public servants at the FBI. I donated some money to the in their name and encouraged other people to do so as well. A lot of other people, including senior intelligence community leadership, followed suit.

    The last 24 hours with POTUS tweets and the has given me an idea. I'm vamping here, and this may not work, but heck, it might work. So consider this a request for comment from the Twitterverse on a Proposal to Translate Malicious Trump Tweets into Public Goods.

    The President is impugning the integrity of the FBI by attacking two honorable public servants: Jim Baker and Andy McCabe. I just donated $1,000 to the in their names. I urge others to give as well and tweet that you did so to .

    I met James Baker at the Dickinson College Clarke Forum 4 years ago. My impression, over dinner and during the forum, is in line with observations.

    Ten things you actually should know about FBI General Counsel James Baker, removed this week by Chris Wray—all of them actually true.

    Thank you, sir.

    Andy McCabe & Jim Baker epitomize integrity, competence, and respect for rule of law. Not surprised fears them, along with the rest of FBI. I just donated to as a small way of saying . Here’s how you can too:
