This has been bothering me for weeks now, so let me just put it out there: I’d like to tell Don McGahn that I’ve been way too mean to him. During his time in the Trump administration, I must have written at least a half-dozen posts about what a horrible, terrible job he was doing as White House Counsel. At one time, I even penned a letter to him, pleading with him to quit.

I zeroed in on McGahn because I thought he was the enabler-in-chief who failed—or didn’t try—to prevent the shenanigans that Trump and his clan got into.
