Remember the Comey Memo? And the Rosenstein Memo? And the fussy-named dossier?
All these are compilations and placement of words by wordsmiths of the highest caliber. Thrown into the public discourse and bandied about by pundits as if memos are smoking guns, these documents take on the air of fact or reality.

Elie Mystal gets to the nub of the Republican gut-out-the-vote movement:
Of course, up here in “evidence based” land, the black vote is the result of the Republican party’s ongoing strategy of ignoring black people and, latterly, being expressly racist towards black people in hopes of energizing racist white voters.
