IheartIheartTesla Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Regarding the book, the WH claim is that it contains classified information, which Bolton denies. Also, it was submitted to the NSC for review late last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Also publishers have contractual clauses that cover this sort of thing, and they have people who vet books that may contain material that is political, legal, etc. with the idea that they don't walk into situations of libel, plagarism and other law suits. I may despise and distrust Bolton for a bundle of very good reasons, but I also think he's a lot smarter than that. Hey alt right! wanna talk free speach and censorship?

They only care about free speech when their rights are implicated. They’re cool with people they disagree with being under the legal definition of actual censorship.

Corvinus85 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It's a delaying tactic. I wonder how much they'll try to delay the NSC from approving the book. hmm, Can't be released published because it's under audit review by the IRS NSC.

OTOH, subpoenaed testimony isn't a book, published or not. I really love how the WH is offering to work with Bolton to make the book publishable though.

It’s like a game show to keep raising the bar for ‘how corrupt can you be?’ And you just know the next time they rant about the Constitution or free speech or rule of law or w/e, they will sound exactly as emphatic and indignant as they ever have.

James Arryn Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 We have gone full Orwell. Dershowitz is now claiming that presidents can use foreign policy however they want to help them get reelected. Because they naturally believe their reelection is in the public interest.

DMC Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 2 hours ago, Maithanet said: I think that creating a model to estimate the overall winner is doable. Obviously it's not perfect, but I think it could potentially be useful. The problem is when you're showing graphics like how many pledged delegates each candidate has into the future, the error bars are just ridiculous. [...] So showing the "average" pledged delegates with a colossal uncertainty range just isn't useful. They should just stop at the top line numbers, at least until after the first four states vote and the race settles down. Yeah, the bolded(s) is my point. If I, or anyone, tried to construct a probabilistic primary model and then sought to get it published, it would not get through the review process because the model would almost certainly not achieve minimum standards in terms of reliability. This is a normative problem with "data journalism" and Silver/538 specifically. They present themselves as being grounded in the empirical process and being statistically sound, but in a lot of the measures they construct, the latter is not the case at all and just exposes how untrained they are.
