It’s been one of those mornings. My best source to capture the flavor of the news today is my Twitter feed. In no particular order:
Spicer says there is a double standard. when leaks to press, focus on substance. with nunes info, people focused on what nunes up to https://t.co/ds26YThCdJ
— Laura Rozen (@lrozen)
Um, sure, except that Nunes won’t show us the substance of the leak and misled everyone about where it came from. Other than that, spot on. And as long as we’re on the subject of Nunes:
Monday: Nunes’ spox: Comey “couldn’t come in tomorrow as we hoped.”
Today: FBI: No official request for Comey’s testimony was ever received.— Peter Alexander (@PeterAlexander)
Back to the White House now. Here is April Ryan, Washington Bureau Chief for American Urban Radio Networks:

Roger that. Let’s move on to someone else in the White House:
This exchange between a senior White House official and a reporter on climate change is…. not great. pic.twitter.com/3R6WLV1bKZ
— Emily Atkin (@emorwee)
So they’ve moved on from denying climate change, and are now denying that they’re even aware of what scientists say about climate change. Where are they going to be by 2020?
Finally, on a completely different subject:
“Antitrust is dead, isn’t it? That was my impression.” – Posner, 7th Cir judge and antitrust giant #StiglerConcentration

Unfortunately, yes, I think it is.
