    The administration’s inner circle is focusing solely on the possibility of recordings because the alternative – that a person or people in those meetings personally spilled their guts to a couple NYT reporters – is unimaginable to them.

    Or to put it another way, a group of people who uniformly sold their souls for material gain and access to power is resolutely refusing to entertain the possibility that in their midst and under their noses, one of them is a person who also sold the rest of them out for material gain and access to power.

    Having read the recent excerpt (gift link) and noting that JD Vance is now saying he will discuss his own 2028 plans after the midterms, I’m sure it’s only coincidental that Vance comes out of that reporting smelling somewhat better than the rest.

    I’m not saying it wasn’t recorded. But if you’re in that room and have plans of your own, why would you need to? You can just tell the story yourself.

      When you put it this way, there’s a universe where Trump himself was the leak, and he just forgot.
