[snip]Neither man acknowledged Trump’s early actions in shutting down travel from China on Jan. 31, 2020, nor did Horowitz exhibit any signs of disagreement with Goldsmith and Woodward, although he was clearly more careful with his wording.

At one point during the discussion, Goldsmith noted that the Trump administration represented a “most extraordinary and unprecedented assault” on our norms and our institutions. Goldsmith then asked Horowitz, “what happens when a president is elected precisely to break norms.” Horowitz responded, saying, “I agree with Bob and I agree with you.

What doesn’t Biden’s buttbuddy say about Quid Pro Joe having a FOREIGN prosecutor fired in Ukraine with no evidence ever presented let alone a hearing of fact or defense offered?

from the article :" .. Horowitz continued, stating that “norms didn’t matter.”

Exactly true (!), because there is such a thing called 'precedent' .
Note that when a new administration comes into office,
all Federal attorney's are asked to submit their resignation.
Didn't Clinesmith refuse to submit his resignation ?

Woodward and Bernstein were co-conspirators in Spygate from Day One.
