Remember Trump's fixation on having to flush toilets multiple times?

JUST NOW: "Staff in WH residence would periodically find the toilet clogged. The engineer would have to come and fix it. What the engineer would find would be wads of clumped up wet, printed paper." @maggieNYT on concerns of Trump flushing documents.pic.twitter.com/dertOPEXYm

Among journalists and press critics on Twitter, this started a heated debate about how Haberman (when threads collide) handled the story.
(Raises interesting questions about how much information reporters hold back, so they can have a scoop for their book) https://t.co/93ggUz7xzM

And brought up memories of how the press and the NYT in particular, handled another story.
DC journos are marveling at Haberman scoop

everyone else sees it as obvious proof DC press is broken https://t.co/WUuvG69S98
oh look, i did a Nexis search for NYT articles, columns in 2015 and 2016 that mentioned "HIllary Clinton" and then "emails" at least 3 times and it spit out 1,728 matches

and everyone who oversaw NYT campaign coverage in 2016 got a promotion

we now know the docs included "top secret" material shipped off to Mar-a-lago.
— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) February 10, 2022
can you IMAGINE covering Trump for five years and this week typing up a story that he took docs from WH bc of a "hasty exit"??
this was so comically naive in real time three days ago. NYT is a mess
We just learned Donald Trump took classified material with him to his summer resort.

"It’s hard to trust the press when you don’t know what they’re hiding, why they’re hiding it, or who they’re protecting by doing so," writes @ParkerMolloy https://t.co/aeoSdhrAH9

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you become aware that someone may have committed a federal felony, it’s important to call the FBI and not save it for your next book

Top secret means their disclosure cd gravely imperil our national security. AG Garland must make sure FBI Director Wray is on the case. Donald Trump can’t be allowed to get away with sneaking top secret materials from the White House to his lair in Mara Lago after losing to Biden https://t.co/5TPXI6bmQm

This is what happens when you refuse to even consider saying something obviously true like "what Trump did was outrageous" because that would be "taking sides."

So your brain spins until you vomit up something inane. https://t.co/7CzoUELXWS
The @nytimes just printed a story on Trump’s mishandling of classified information. They asked for comment from @HillaryClinton’s office as this exposes his hypocrisy. In typical form, the NYT’s editors declined to print the comment, so posting it here. pic.twitter.com/iSYHtBKXgY
