Who Is Jeffrey Goldberg?

As Signalgate rages, let us put in a word for the editor of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg. We’re animated by the attacks on his character by President Trump, who called the editor a “total sleazebag.” There may be a touch of the journalistic sleaze in all of us ink-stained wretches, but less of it has rubbed off on Mr. Goldberg than almost any scrivener we know. He is one of the most remarkable journalists of his generation.
