Washington Adjusts to Altered Landscape After Justice Dept. Installs Special Counsel
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Merrick B. Garland's appointment of a special counsel to investigate President Biden's handling of classified documents drew a mixed reception from Republicans, who had hoped to spearhead the effort themselves.
Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky and chairman of the House Oversight Committee, insisted Thursday night that he was "not a big fan of special counsels." The prosecutor, Robert K. Hur, had "better be just focused on Biden's handling of classified documents" and leave the rest of the digging to congressional Republicans, he said in an interview with Fox Business.
Washington was adjusting to an altered landscape on Friday after a whipsaw week that began with the revelation that Mr. Biden's lawyers had discovered sensitive government documents at his former office and ended with Mr. Biden joining his political rival, former President Donald J. Trump, as the subject of a federal investigation.
The White House has responded by emphasizing the stark differences between the inquiries, saying that Mr. Biden fully cooperated with investigators and the National Archives after two sets of classified papers from his time in the Obama administration were discovered in his possession. Federal prosecutors have conducted interviews with people in Mr. Biden's orbit, according to people familiar with the situation, while officials working on the Trump investigation grappled with what the developments might mean, if anything, for their own work.
And Republicans, who see the Biden investigation as a prime political opportunity after a disappointing showing in the midterm elections, recalibrated their efforts to account for Mr. Hur's appointment. A well-regarded former Trump appointee at the Justice Department, Mr. Hur is a far less tempting target than Mr. Garland, a Democrat appointed by Mr. Biden.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, said she believed the work of the special counsel, who has the power to recommend criminal charges, could stymie the efforts of congressional Republicans.
"And just like that, everything we request will be 'under investigation' because of Merrick Garland's appointed special counsel and unavailable to Republican investigators," Ms. Greene wrote on Twitter Thursday, shortly after Mr. Hur was named to the role. "Amazing."
The top Republican in the House also expressed skepticism of the special counsel's investigation. "We don't think there needs to be a special prosecutor, but I think Congress has a role to look," Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California said Thursday on Capitol Hill.
On Friday, Mr. Biden's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, deflected questions about the details surrounding the discovery of the documents.
"I'm not going to get into any specifics from here," she said, adding that she had tried to be as transparent as possible given what limited information she could disclose because the investigation was continuing.
Her measured responses reflected the awkward position the administration now finds itself in, as a separate special counsel investigates Mr. Biden's predecessor over whether he also mishandled sensitive government documents.
Although the circumstances of the cases involving Mr. Biden and former President Donald J. Trump are decidedly different, as a political matter, the new inquiry will almost certainly muddy the case against Mr. Trump. Already Mr. Trump is arguing that he is being selectively persecuted by the administration of a president he is almost certain to challenge in 2024.
Mr. Garland, for his part, has consistently sought to insulate the Justice Department from accusations of partisanship, and the scrutiny of directly overseeing sensitive investigations. In November, he tapped Jack Smith, the former head of the Justice Department's public integrity section and a veteran war crimes prosecutor, to oversee concurrent investigations into the discovery of classified material at Mr. Trump's Florida residence and resort and a sprawling investigation involving the former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
How Times reporters cover politics. We rely on our journalists to be independent observers. So while Times staff members may vote, they are not allowed to endorse or campaign for candidates or political causes. This includes participating in marches or rallies in support of a movement or giving money to, or raising money for, any political candidate or election cause.
His choice of Mr. Hur, a longtime Republican, is intended to offer him a similar buffer in the Biden case.
But there is only so much Mr. Garland — or Mr. Biden, for that matter — can do given that Republicans now control the House, giving them broad investigative powers.
Even before news reports disclosed that Mr. Biden's aides had found classified documents at his private home and office, Mr. Comer, who has vowed to aggressively investigate the Biden administration over the next two years, had started to ramp up those efforts.
On Friday, he sent a broad demand for records to the White House Counsel's Office, seeking all classified documents that Mr. Biden or his aides had retrieved. Mr. Comer also asked for a complete list of aides and lawyers involved in the search for additional classified documents and their security clearances; a list of all locations searched; and all communications among White House officials, the Justice Department and the National Archives about the matter.
Other House Republicans were also jockeying to lead an investigation into Mr. Biden's handling of classified files. Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio and the chairman of the judiciary committee, and Representative Mike Johnson, a Republican of Louisiana who also serves on the committee, sent Mr. Garland a letter Friday demanding a wide range of documents that are part of the open investigation.
In appointing a special counsel on Thursday, Mr. Garland assigned Mr. Hur to look into "the possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or other records discovered" at Mr. Biden's think tank in Washington and his residence in Wilmington, Del.
Under Mr. Garland's order, Mr. Hur is authorized to prosecute crimes arising from the inquiry or to refer matters for prosecution to federal attorneys in other jurisdictions.
The White House promised to fully cooperate while insisting prosecutors would find only unintentional errors.
"We are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, and the president and his lawyers acted promptly upon discovery of this mistake," Richard Sauber, a White House lawyer overseeing responses to investigations, said in a statement.
Mr. Biden, who excoriated Mr. Trump for being "irresponsible" with national secrets, now has to answer for how his own team handled sensitive papers. Unlike Mr. Trump, Mr. Biden so far as is known did not resist repeated requests to return documents. In fact, the White House has said that after his lawyers discovered them, they promptly returned them. But it did not publicly disclose the discovery for two months, waiting until after the midterm elections.
And a new timetable outlined by Mr. Garland on Thursday made clear that even then the White House did not initially reveal the extent of the situation.
Asked on Thursday why classified documents had been kept alongside his prized Corvette, Mr. Biden replied, "My Corvette is in a locked garage. OK? So it's not like they're sitting out in the street."
"But as I said earlier this week," he added, "people know I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said we're cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department's review."

INTERVIEW: Vinny Guadagnino on Getting Cast for 'Jersey Shore,' His New Book, and Season 6
Ralphie Aversa	— 05/16/2012 — Leave a comment
Some credit "Jersey Shore" with reviving MTV, a network that was trying to find its place in pop culture after "The Real World" ratings dwindled, "The Hills" came to an end, and music videos became an online, on-demand commodity.
But, it almost didn't happen. The original concept for "Jersey Shore" was actually intended for VH1.
"When I applied for it, there was actually a VH1 application," revealed Seaside Heights star Vinny Guadagnino. The Staten Island-born partier sat down with me at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT before signing copies of his new book, Control The Crazy: My Plan To Stop Stressing, Avoid Drama, and Maintain Inner Cool. "It was asking for 'orange' people that have really spike-y hair and big muscles and stuff."
Offended that the casting directors thought all people who partied on the Shore looked like this, Guadagnino applied, despite lacking the tan, hair, and muscles. Producers loved him and the reality TV star was a part of the first show pilot, entitled "Guidos." Initially, the plan was to take the "Flavor of Love" or "Rock of Love" dating competition model and apply it to Seaside Heights. But fearing that there was already too many shows similar on television, Viacom executives changed the concept to a more "Real World"-like model. Vinny was left, but some younger women, such as Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi were brought in. Suddenly, the show was more MTV friendly.
"You need diversity in the cast," explained Guadagnino. "You need a spectrum from light to tan (laughing). That's why you pick me, because people want to identify with different types of people. So if you had all the same cast member, it wouldn't really be an entertaining show, right?"
Probably not, and perhaps the series would not be gearing up for its sixth season. Filming in "the house" begins this summer.
"When I first started, I didn't know what I was walking in to," Vinny recalled. "Now at least I know who is going to be there. I know that 'Snooki' is pregnant and Mike ['The Situation' Sorrentino] was just going through something so, I just know as much as you do. I'm just going to go there and make the best of it."
That "something" Guadagnino referred to is probably the reports that "The Situation" found himself in rehab, allegedly over addictions to alcohol and prescription pills. The abuse of drugs is one of many lessons Vinny touches on in his new book, as he tries to help others cope with anxiety issues.
"Whenever Mike does something bad, he always comes to me," Guadagnino said. "He's like, 'Vin, I'm gonna do something.' And I'm like, 'Alright…' because he knows that I'm going to give him "the look" afterwards."
As Vinny found himself needing help, he went to an on-set therapist, who he refers to in the book as "Dr. B." But not even a professional could prevent the anxiety from getting the best of Guadagnino, and he reveals in the book that it was his personal struggle that led him to temporarily leave the show during season five.
"When it was happening to me, they really didn't know what to do," said Vinny, before revealing that his cast-mates offered him amongst other things, strippers, to help him out. Guadagnino appreciated the sentiment but declined. "Anything that ever happens to you can be looked at as a positive thing because the reason why I know all this stuff and I have a book and that I'm very knowledgeable in spirituality is because I've gone through it."
As he said earlier in the interview when referring to himself, Guadagnino truly is the "Dalai Lama" of the house on "Jersey Shore." If nothing else, he certainly adds to the cast a diversity that he credits with the show's success.

Q: Is there a `liftIO` equivalence for conduits? I'm writing a conduit that is growing quite big, with nested monad transforms. It's a tedious work to lift each and every yield or await call into the base conduitM. Not to mention every time I add or withdraw a layer of transformation, I need to change the number of lift's at every possible location.
I was looking for a similar function as liftIO, but instead of lifting an IO operation it should lift yield or await into an arbitrarily transformed monad based on ConduitM, but I can't seem to find one. Is there a way to achieve something like this?

Edit: in response to @BradleyHardy's answer, here I provide a concrete example:
{-# LANGUAGE LambdaCase #-}

import Control.Monad                    as MON
import Control.Monad.IO.Class           as MIO
import Control.Monad.Trans.Class        as MTC
import Control.Monad.Trans.Maybe        as MTM
import Data.Conduit                     as CDT
import System.IO                        as IO

stdinS :: Source IO String
stdinS = void . runMaybeT . forever $ do
    (liftIO isEOF) >>= \case
        True  -> mzero
        False -> (lift . yield) =<< (liftIO getLine)

myK :: Sink String IO ()
myK = void . runMaybeT . forever . runMaybeT $ do
    a <- maybe (lift mzero) return =<< (lift . lift $ await)
    b <- if a == "listen"
      then maybe (lift mzero) return =<< (lift . lift $ await)
      else mzero
    liftIO . putStrLn $ "I heard: " ++ b

main :: IO ()
main = do
    stdinS $$ myK

How would you change myK to put ConduitM on top of the stack? Admittedly in this particular example using MaybeT is over-complication, but in my actual (much larger) conduit MaybeT structure is much cleaner than e.g. recursions.

A: ConduitM is itself a monad transformer, and, looking at the Haddock page for it, we see that it defines instances for MonadState, MonadReader, etc. This should suggest that in fact the pattern intended is to have ConduitM at the top of the transformer stack, in which case you don't need to lift any operations into it.
In fact, it even defines an instance for MonadBase, the class which lets you lift operations from the monad which sits at the very base of the stack (using the liftBase function), so that if reordering your stack means it's hard to access the new thing at the bottom, MonadBase solves this for you. If you have IO at the bottom anyway though, this probably isn't very helpful.
I would suggest that you try to reorder your transformer stack to put ConduitM on top if possible.
EDIT: Another option would be to create your own class, MonadConduit, which defines generalised yield and await functions, and add instances for ConduitM and every other transformer you use on top of it. I think that this is less elegant than reordering your stack if possible though.

A: I think a better way is to use the included Data.Conduit.Lift module. It is as simple as replacing all your runMaybeT, runStateT, etc. into runMaybeC and runStateC. And voila, the ConduitM is pushed to the top of the transformer stack.
