Summary
Three Republican power players walk into a bar for a freewheeling conversation. They unwittingly sit next to a liberal comic. It became no laughing matter for one of the Republicans —oilman Harry Sargeant, who's trying to improve his uneasy relations with the Trump administration, partly related to his business dealings in Venezuela. His rapprochement efforts were complicated last month when senior administration officials became aware of the comic's social media post, in which she alleged that Sargeant spoke negatively about President Trump. The story illustrates the panopticon of modern society and, especially, the nation's capital.
