NPR is staffed by enemies of the Republic.
Of course, NPR would be of the opinion that THEIR favorite, Robert Mueller III, Special Counsel, deserves the adjectives of “an honorable, decent (and whip smart)” legal expert.
In fact the other set of adjectives, pedantic, boorish, juvenile, and annoying, probably DO apply to Special Counsel Mueller.
In many ways, almost the diametric opposite of Neil Gorsuch.
You got to understand, NPR people think they are always the smartest people in the room. Their sophistication knows no limits, not even as it relates to the least constraint on their free-ranging imaginative constructs.
NPR’s payroll is paid by you and me.
