This morning on Meet the Press Rudy Giuliani said that Don Jr. didn’t even know the email came from the Russians. It could’ve been anyone, he laughed. Uh, it specifically said “this is on behalf of Russia & its government’s support for Mr. Trump.” AND NO ONE CORRECTED HIM.

I really do challenge anyone who has demonized Hillary over the years—you know who you are—to listen to three episodes of her podcast. You’ll find her to be an uncommonly wise, kind, curious, erudite, and witty person. The opposite of who you think she is.

On a very fundamental level, Bernie thinks that Trump voters are decent people who are just disenfranchised. That’s why he’s using Rogan as a conduit to get to them. He truly believes (and has always believed) that his message will resonate with them.
