GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

"an internet witch hunt"

Every single named person in this article who spread ugly lies about the Brown shooting, even putting an innocent student in danger, is a Republican. One is even a top DOJ official.

This NYT headline makes it seem like it was an everybody problem. It was not.

Trumpism has a way to normalize its extremism:

Tonight, Norm Eisen and I joined Pamela Brown to call out Trump’s unlawful attempt to rename the Kennedy Center. I’m filing a lawsuit to reverse it and stop any future renaming without Congressional approval.

Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:
Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Looks like it'll have to be done in lots of 3 minute edits and posted here too.

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran CBS news reporter who led the story: “I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight.”
The reality is that she is much more likely to be fired than Weiss, and that should tell you all you need to know about CBS now.
The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision.
"The decision was made after Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, requested numerous changes to the segment."

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.
And there it is...
WELKER: Is the DOJ taking directions about who to prosecute from President Trump?

BLANCHE: No. Of course we're not. And also, Mr. Siebert wasn't fired because he refused to bring cases. He resigned.

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from DOJ webpage, including photo of Trump, with no explanation.

In order for the public to understand the scope of the issue, they need to be told how you get from “released files to comply” to “impeached for failure to comply.”
The President of the United States deleted this photo of the drawer full of photos with himself and Jeffrey Epstein from the DOJ's illegally redacted release of the files last night.

We are watching a cover up in real time.

This is file 468.

Congressmen behind Epstein files law draft articles of impeachment for AG Bondi
The co-sponsors of a law intended to force the DOJ to release all investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein say they are drafting articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna plan to draft articles of impeachment against AG Pam Bondi over the DOJ’s failure to release all Epstein files as required by law.
The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
Mitt Romney is in the New York Times saying we should tax the rich.
Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.

Will Jordan release the video to the public?

If not, why not?
