Politico sure is soft on crime. They do a fine job of reporting the phrases and talking points of the Climate Change Criminal Conspiracy. The piece was pitiful even if this were not the biggest financial and scientific frauds the world has ever seen.
Politico has always sucked and they just keep getting better it seems.
Politico has some of the best sources and access in Washington. I disagree totally with their slant, but if you want to know the inside story and the spin, it is a good source. I read it in self-defense.
