Accountabillty matters. Transparency matters. Truth matters. Self dealing--it needs to be documented and exposed. Especially when it involves the president of the United States. No matter what it takes. You nail it down. Expose it. Share it with the world. We did that. And I am proud.
Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time.
