I'm pleased to announce that my new book, "The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy," is now available for pre-order, in advance of publication in Feb 2025. Kind of timely, I'm thinking. simonandschuster.com/books/The-Pard…
Get ready for Justice Emil Bove. My @nytimes piece. nytimes.com/2025/07/16/opi…
Trump punishes his enemies with investigations even more than with prosecutions. My @nytimes column: nytimes.com/2025/06/18/opi…
Is this too obvious? Trump doesn't want the Epstein documents (file, whatever you call it) released because they implicate Trump himself.
I wish I could follow a bunch of my favorite writers at the same time on #Substack. Just pay one price and get them all. I have even come up with a name for this service. You could call it a . . . "magazine."
Hi Michael, glad you're well and healthy. Russiagate involved real crimes (all pardoned by Trump), Lawfare? You mean the prosecution of the Jan6 rioters? (All pardoned by Trump). Those were legitimate investigations of real crimes, unlike the current harrassment that I discussed.
.@JeffreyToobin Are you just waking up after a long nap? Ever heard of Russiagate? Lawfare? This is yet another reason to reject you. You’ve done something so much, you’ve gone blind. But this kind of jerking around may help you get back in with the other conjugal Dem media.
Loved that book!
Today's Treasure from my collection: One of my favorites is this signed 1st edition of FOUL! signed by The Hawk. When it was published in 1972 it (paperback version) was a basketball bible for my teenage buddies & me. In the 80's I located a hardcover copy & had Connie sign it.
JJ Spaun is a total badass. What a way to win the US Open.
The Minnesota assasin has political views that are very similar to those of Timothy McVeigh. This right-wing commitment to political violence is an enduring part of American life. #Jan6 #Homegrown
If #ElonMusk is so concerned about the deficit, why doesn't he just support raising taxes on people like himself?
Donald Trump is transactional about everything, including “his” Supreme Court justices. @cnn.com @andersoncooper360.bsky.social f.io/QA9DLNNs

Pardons much in the news every day! Watch my interview about my book, The Pardon, at the Clinton Library on C-Span this weekend. c-span.org/event/the-pres…
Trump pardons those who pay in cash or political support. @CNN app.frame.io/presentations/…
Thanks to Trump v US, even if Trump took a bribe in return for a pardon, he couldn’t be criminally prosecuted.
Another Trump pardon of a political ally who happens also to be (literally) a crooked sheriff. cnn.com/2025/05/26/pol…
Another important Schmidt scoop
NEW and BREAKING: Four big time partners are Paul Weiss are leaving the firm. Biggest blow to the firm since it cut deal with Trump. Partners include big Democrat Karen Dunn who prepped Harris for debate. nytimes.com/2025/05/23/bus…
