Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

MAGAts Outraged Comey Indictment Dismissed on Same "Technicality" Trump's Was! - emptywheel
Right wing Trump supporters are outraged that Jim Comey's indictment was dismissed based on the very same "technicality" that Trump's stolen documents indictment was.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

-why restoring rule of law after Trump will be so challenging

-the need for a post-Trump reckoning that rivals what happened after abuses of Vietnam/Watergate

-why Trump's effort to get revenge on Sen Mark Kelly is so deeply corrupt

Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

This is the last of the "assaults" from September 27 that NDIL dismissed, a day where Greg Bovino was deliberately promising a "shitshow."

Basically they knocked over a 70-year old guy and then accused him of assault.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Fuentes, in dismissing Midway Blitz-related charges against Dana Briggs last week, said he was lifting restrictions on relevant video.

Today he made the video available through the clerk's office at no cost to the public. Here's the first.

This video features Greg Bovino more prominently.

Briggs said he was going to call Bovino and--voila!--the case got dismissed.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

@pbump.com is being a bit snide here but more background is useful.

On the right, he's showing how Trump's AI/Crypto Czar begged for a bailout after he played a key role in starting a run on the bank.

On the left, Sacks is begging already.

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.

So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.

It's that Bondi is too.

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Lying under oath? Seriously? The case against Comey is as hypocritical as it is weak and incompetent. From Trump on down, this is an administration people who got their jobs by misleading and outright lying to Congress. My latest at @thebulwark.com
