Whether it's Bill Clinton talking to Loretta Lynch for five minutes on the tarmac or Donald Trump ordering the DOJ to prosecute his political enemies, both sides have committed egregious offenses against the legal norms that were once the backbone of this proud nation.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.
