From CNN.com: #WhyIDidntReport

On Friday, President Trump said this, on Twitter: "I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!"

The piece, below--also from Friday--is from CNN's website.  It concerns the many posts which have been appearing on Twitter--with the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport--written by victims of sexual assault.

Thursday's Washington Post: "Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President"

The essay, below, from this past Thursday's Washington Post, has gotten a great deal of attention; it is by retired Navy admiral William H. McRaven. As the essay's accompanying biography notes, McRaven "was commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014. He oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden."

The Boston Globe, and "the enemy of the people"

The piece below is from the Editorial Board of The Boston Globe.

In addition to its own editorial, The Globe has assembled a coalition of more than 300 American newspapers to counter President Trump's claim that the press is the "enemy of the people."

The President, on Twitter, responded that The Globe was "in COLLUSION with other papers on free press."
