He’s right that it’s election interference, of course. It’s nothing else, as many Democrats gleefully proclaim.

Plus: The Roots of Abuse: Decades of Molestation Haunt Odenwaldschule. “Everyone should have known what was going on.” Oh, they did.
Also:
Eventually the permissiveness became almost total, and it wasn’t the tormentors but the tormented who were made to feel guilty. “The declared minimum objective was to be bisexual. If you didn’t achieve that, you were a failure,” says former pupil Gerhard R., who came to the school in 1975 and was first abused by his music teacher the following year. “We knew one thing: Everything was permitted at any time,” Gerhard R., the alumnus who recalled Gerold Becker fellating him like a possessed man, says of his schooldays.
German television presenter Amelie Fried attended the Odenwaldschule starting in 1969. In a book published to mark the school’s centenary, she recounts how a teacher coaxed her into playing strip poker in his apartment. She says he mercilessly goaded her for being a “prudish, petty bourgeois Swabian girl” until she “finally caved in to the pressure,” though she was “terribly embarrassed” and subsequently repressed her memory of the incident for decades.
Does this sound familiar?

ALL ROADS LEAD TO DETROIT: Illegal Immigrants Unleash Chaos in Upscale Manhattan Neighborhood.
The Stratford Arms hotel on W. 70th Street used to function as a student dormitory, operated by the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). That is, until May, when “migrants showed up with suitcases,” Brenda McIntyre, who’s lived on that block since 2007 and in the city since 1999, told National Review.

McIntyre leaves very early in the morning for work. At about 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, she noticed “there were a lot of people coming home from clubbing, and they were bringing people into the shelter.”
“I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, this is crazy,’” she said.
She’s noticed some migrants having sex in public in the median area of Broadway, where there are park benches. On Wednesday, she was unloading her car and saw someone she believed to be a male migrant sitting on a moped waiting for a woman to come out of the shelter. When security told him to move because he was in a no-parking zone, he refused, even when spoken to in Spanish, she said.
Joe Germanotta, the father of the famous pop singer Lady Gaga, lives on the block and, along with McIntyre, belongs to a new residents’ association committed to ending the migrant crisis in the UWS.
“The city did not think this through,” Germanotta told National Review. “And we’re all suffering. They dropped 500 people into the neighborhood that have no code of conduct.”
“We’re probably 18 months away from looking like San Francisco.”
Which already looks like Detroit. Why are Democrat-monopoly cities such cesspits?
