Major Kushner conflict of interest
Twenty-nine hours after it went up, "DOJ's new hires" was already the busiest thing on Liz Oyer's channel. It draws on a New York Times investigation into the new class of lawyers joining the Justice Department's civil rights division, a subject the description calls "really quite unsettling."
Oyer brings a particular résumé to that kind of story. Her about text sums it up in a few words: former DOJ Pardon Attorney, "forever a public defender," and averse to bullies. All three uploads this week stayed close to her old workplace or the people around it.
The week opened with "DOJ revisits Watergate," built on her description's claim that the department is recasting Richard Nixon as the hero of the scandal that ended his presidency, a premise she admits sounds like an Onion headline. Two days later came "Major Kushner conflict of interest," which walks through CNN reporting on Jared Kushner. It is the most watched of the three, past 800,000 views, and its comment section keeps coming back to one point: Kushner was never elected or confirmed, and yet he negotiates for the country. Several viewers also note that election day is a month away.
The channel picked up about 4,000 subscribers and close to four million views over the seven days, a pace in line with its usual one. An older video, "The wheels are coming off at DOJ," about three resignations in a single day, has passed a million views and is still drawing an audience.
Among the political commentary channels close to it in size, only The Nerve with Maureen Callahan added more views this week. British Stand, Victor Davis Hanson and The Rest Is Politics US are all running well above their usual daily pace.
