Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

The machinery of State terror.
The Russian and German systems for moving, detaining and killing regime opponents and targeted groups involved 1000s of sites, large and small, supported by an extensive transport network.

"The large warehouses would be located close to major logistics hubs in Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia and Missouri. Sixteen smaller warehouses would hold up to 1,500 people each."

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Pompous and arrogant is no way to run a network
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Trump has been on a nonstop mission to make this country more dangerous, restoring gun rights to felons and shutting down the programs that help communities. When you strip away safeguards and flood the streets with more guns, rising violence isn’t an accident—it is policy.

Trump orders DOJ to drop criminal cases at the core of the Fifa corruption scandal. In exchange he got the "Fifa Peace Prize," a lot of gold tchotchkas and other things we likely won't learn for years to come.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).
