Sarah can be tough to take at times, maybe most times. I will say that she has been on point in describing Trump's "crime-ing" in the M-L docs. On J6 charges, she is taking the point of view that behavior was abhorrent but not criminal. Maybe there isn't a clear statute on fraudulently inserting fake electors, but to me this is as bad as it gets.

I wouldn't completely throw out the Dispatch baby with the bath water. Hayes and Goldberg have been consistent in their Trump outrage for years and continue to express it. If I had to be in a one-dimensional eco-chamber it would be the Remnant. The Dispatch does help me walk around the issues and kick the tires.

My only response is that Hayes and Goldberg stuck around fox for a longtime though (they didn’t leave until after Tucker made that ridiculous “documentary” about j6).

Also, has sarah actually practiced law for any amount of time? I can’t find what law firms or government work (other than in pr or a political role) she has had other than as a clerk. She comments on law like 25 year doj vet though

Hi Migs, wasn't sure what you meant about Hayes and Goldberg sticking around? Did you mean before they punched out of Fox? Think that was a pretty long time ago.

Don't know Sarah Isgur's bio. Here is the Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Isgur

She does have that often wrong but always certain approach.

Yeah I was talking about Hayes and Goldberg sticking around at fox. He left nov 2021. He wrote an article on why he left. It was somewhat interesting in that they specifically brought him and hayes on never to comment on trump (bc fox was pro trump) but to bash democrat ideas/plans. Pretty interesting right rope for them to walk

I would agree. She's been very strong on the M-L docs case and has said several times that it's an extremely strong case. This is subject to opinion, but one of her points is she feels the M-L docs case is stronger than the J6 case.

I like the Dispatch overall. It's different than the Bulwark but I do enjoy it. Steve Hayes blew up DeSantis last week over his RFK comments which was great and much needed!

The Dispatch’s anti-Trumpism seems too wan for my tastes. I like the more joyfully emphatic Bulwark.

Perhaps, just as Nixon gave us the Presidential Records Act (which does NOT mean a President can keep any damn thing he wants to on his way out the door), we will get statutes forbidding fake electors, and ensuring that losing all arguments in all courts is definitively final in election challenges.
