"The Trump administration — which has made a signature achievement of eluding accountability for all manner of lawless and corrupt conduct — is headed for a high-stakes showdown with a federal judge who has some very powerful cards to play," writes Harry Litman. "U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan presides over the case of President Donald Trump’s fired national security adviser Michael Flynn. Sullivan has signaled that he is, at a minimum, skeptical about the motion from the Department of Justice to dismiss the charges against Flynn, who has twice pleaded guilty to lying to federal officers about his contacts with Russian officials."

A plague of conspiracy theories is attacking scientific facts about the pandemic, and replacing them with fake theories that will undermine efforts to tame it. Social media permits such misinformation to spread online, globally, with the speed of a virus, whether pushed by lone individuals, groups or governments," writes Trudy Rubin.

“'Trump’s an idiot' — or even the more verbose formulation 'Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and doesn’t care' — strikes me as the obvious take on a lot of the Trump statements that drive commentators to distraction," writes Michael McGough. "Alas, neither of those formulations takes up much space on the editorial or op-ed pages, which is why it’s tempting for people in my line of work to treat every Trump comment as if it’s a serious policy proposal. But such overinterpretation runs the risk of giving Trump too much credit."
