Tit for tat over Trump-Mueller probe
It happened again Tuesday evening as it does most nights for David Cohen,
former deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency and onetime
undersecretary of the Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence in the
Obama administration.
"Every night before I go to sleep — every single night — I
check the Post and Times websites for the latest bombshell, and I am frequently
then unable to sleep."
The Boston-bred attorney alluded to The Washington Post and The
New York Times, which continue to play what seems to be their private game of
Can You Top This? as they cover the Trump administration. It was much the
same throughout the 2016 campaign, with one breaking a great story, the other
soon surfacing with its own.
Tuesday, it was The Times (no, not CNN, despite the
network's constant repetition of having first learned about the matter and
flashing that "Breaking News" chyron) that disclosed that Attorney
General Jeff
Sessions was questioned last week as part of the special
counsel investigation of Robert
Mueller. Then it was The Post disclosing that Mueller was
trying to question President Trump
about his booting National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and
FBI Director James
Comey.
It doesn't stop. Back in the late winter and spring, I'd
compiled a list of the Trump and Hillary Clinton-related scoops by each for a
Vanity Fair
look at what might be the last great newspaper war.
It was unceasing and encapsulated in Times reporter Peter Baker
sitting in the press cabin of Air Force One, on the way to Saudi Arabia, and
being told in a call from his boss that the paper was about to disclose that
Trump had called Comey a "nut job" in a meeting with Russian
officials.
But soon he was staring at Fox News Channel — what else do you
figure is on inside Air Force One? — and seeing word that The Post, his alma
mater, was breaking a tale on how an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign
and possible Russian influence had identified "a current White House
official as a significant person of interest."
Many others have done
great work but the two papers remain ahead of the pack. It's why a
sophisticated news consumer like Cohen — he oversaw sanctions again Iran,
Russia and Cuba at Treasury, while seeking to impede funding of ISIS —checks
them out before conking out THE CLOCK IS TICKING-Don't Procrastinate
