And now an internal HR problem is suddenly national news. Say what you will about the person who filmed it, but \"get a room\" was good advice. Meanwhile, Todd Blanche's confirmation hearings continued to drag on, with former supporters abandoning him and even some Republicans wondering why he can't commit to ruling out a January 6 slush fund. A new book says Blanche once feared bringing frivolous cases. He seems to have gotten over that. And Elena Kagan publicly claims her colleagues get a \"bad rap\" for supporting Trump.
