    Because they have nothing to hide about anything, the White House has issued some kind of threat—according to CNN’s Jake Tapper—in a formal letter to former National Security Adviser John Bolton, whose forthcoming memoir from Simon & Schuster contains first-hand accounts of Donald Trump withholding military aid from Ukraine in exchange for an investigation of his political rival, Joe Biden.

    Looking forward to all the op-ed warriors weighing in on what censorship really is.
