We Still Have A Problem

In Fact, The Converse Is True: At A Time When The United States Has Been Called On For A Level Of Moral Leadership, Vision And Inspiration Not Seen Since World War Ii, We Cannot Afford To Dissemble About Crimes Against Humanity.

But Even Race-neutral Policies And Recruitment Efforts Designed To Achieve Greater Diversity Are, In The End, Not Race Neutral.

There Was Certainly Merit To The Criticism That The Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Had About How James Comey Handled The Hillary Clinton Investigation. And I Don't Think Director Comey Ever Adequately Explained Why He Treated The Clinton Investigation One Way And The Trump Investigation Another.

It Was An Echo Of Director Comey's Testimony That Trump Showed No Curiosity, No Interest, No Concern Over The Russia Hack. The Only Element Of It That Concerned Him Was How It Might Impact Him Personally. That Says, I Think, A Lot About Where The President Is Coming From, But It Was Quite Jarring Given This Was An Attack On Our Democracy By A Foreign Power.

It Is Now Conventional Wisdom That Americans Do Not Care Why We Went To War In Iraq, That It Is Enough That The World Is Better Off Without Saddam Hussein.
