I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
