He was Carol Leonnig's co-author on two of the most scathing books documenting Trump's first term, and when I saw that Leonnig had signed the letter yesterday, I basically had assumed Rucker had signed it too.

Unlike Carol Leonnig, Phil Rucker has kept a lower profile for the last couple of years, so I've wondered a lot about where he stands. (He used to be a regular on The 11th Hour and other MSNBC programming).

He's a good, good journalist.
