It’s hard to cover an unusually busy news week when you only have four days to do it. One of the nice things about this Thursday ritual is the way it serves as a kind of community notebook dump. I never feel like I’m behind afterward.
The big thing I wish I’d had time to cover before now (and am excited to discuss today) is the indictment of Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant, for giving his contacts fabricated information in an effort to frame Joe and Hunter Biden.
