But this is one of those few times I’ll add a journal entry to the album. That it’s the night before the swearing in for the Senate trial makes it all the more breathtaking.

As I watched the interview, I was struck by how smart and well-informed she is. I probably take that for granted sometimes. She’s my favorite journalist, and I think she’ll eventually be held in the same esteem nationally as Murrow and Cronkite.

No one smarter, able to put the pieces together, and communicate them in a way that is both crystal clear and entertaining. She is a gem!

That said, I’m holding back my excitement about last night’s interview until facts are fully corroborated. I’m not at all convinced Parnas was honest about everything, especially the surveillance of Marie Yovanovitch. Rachel and her team are the best, but grifters gotta grift. Cautiously optimistic, I am. And looking forward to tonight.

She MAKES the news, NEWS. If anyone has something important to say, they say it to Rachel.

We news nerds get annoyed (we ARE such delicate little flowers ), but Rachel realizes that she is reaching Americans who AREN'T news nerds, and does it in a way that is informative, explanatory and conclusive.

Right now, at this time, SHE is the best we have got. And we ARE in good hands.

Rachel, YOU ROCK!!!

That kind of “get” takes work. TONS of it.

As she’s said, herself, regarding the proof that you did a good job or were really smart: you show your work.

Well done, Rachel. Agent’s probably gonna ask for more money for her. And will undoubtedly get it. Hell, give HER “Meet the Press”! ALSO.

Olbermann had a nightly TV news show on MSNBC and featured her on his show, and eventually Rachel got her own show on MSNBC. .....You don't get to the top by yourself. Someone usually helps in one way or another.
