For nearly a year, we warned you that the Lincoln Project was nothing but a heinous grift for political operatives displaced by Donald Trump’s ascendancy. Now, Amanda Becker of the 19th has confirmed what we all knew: The scolds involved in that organization knew all along that founder John Weaver was a serial sexual predator.

Of course they did. Weaver’s reputation evidently preceded him as an open secret in Washington. The idea that fellow swamp operatives such as Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson wouldn’t know about his antics is laughable.
