The Nixon Foundation’s new social media strategy leans on stylish editing and hip-hop soundtracking to present the Watergate president as a suave operator misunderstood by history. Plenty of young commenters are buying it: vanityfair.visitlink.me/prmI…

1) Cover it up. 2) If the cover up fails, falsely deny it. 3) If the false denials are refuted, try to discredit the people who exposed you. 4) If discrediting the exposers doesn't work, complain that opponents are weaponizing the exposure against you. 5) If the weaponization complaints aren't accepted, declare that you've taken full accountability for your past mistakes. 6) And then the next time it happens - repeat steps 1-5.

BREAKING: A federal judge is now signaling the Trump administration’s so-called “weaponization fund” may have emerged from collusive litigation and could potentially amount to fraud on the court. That is nuclear-level language from a judge. “Fraud on the court” is not normal criticism. It is reserved for situations where a court believes it may have been manipulated, misled, or used as part of a coordinated scheme. And the judge reportedly pointed to two giant red flags: - the massive $1.8 billion settlement amount - and concerns the opposing sides may not have actually been acting as true adversaries Translation? The court is openly questioning whether this lawsuit was partially engineered to create a taxpayer-funded political compensation machine. That is an absolutely extraordinary development.
