I was flabbergasted on Sunday to find myself publicly accused of spouting “an arrogant baldfaced lie” by Ben Domenech. The Fox News podcaster and Daily Wire opinion editor claimed to be describing a statement in my post on Saturday night, which followed both the announcement that Robert Mueller had died and, then, President Trump’s disgusting “Good, I’m glad he’s dead” post.

Domenech was reacting to an assertion I made, to wit, “I was as harsh as anyone about the way Mueller staffed and conducted the Russiagate investigation.” Any honest critic would have conceded that this was undeniable.
