Just playing games and giving a middle finger to Congress here.
Massie: "What's happened it seems is that the US attorneys and/or the FBI have redacted documents, given them to the DOJ, and then the DOJ hasn't done their diligence to go get the original documents."

They got a magistrate judge to sign off on this?

How drunk were they?
“If these deficiencies were the result of intentional action, the election records identified in Attachment B are evidence of violations of Title 52 U.S.C. §§ 20511 and 20701.”

IF???

It’s almost as IF the entire point of this warrant affidavit is to show probable cause of intentional violations!!

Remember, the shitty jobs numbers you see from this administration are their fake numbers. The real numbers are much, much worse.

Thank you! What I’m saying. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I feel like I am going a little bit crazy listening to Democratic lawmakers "demand" that ICE get judicial warrants before it arrests people in their homes, given that the Fourth Amendment has imposed this requirement on law enforcement officers for, oh, roughly 250 years now
Mike Johnson Is Very Annoyed By the Fourth Amendment’s Existence
For a constitutional lawyer, the House Speaker sounds alarmingly unfamiliar with how the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement works.

The Speaker of the House is openly disparaging the clear, unquestioned meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Dems' response shouldn't be to "demand" Congress somehow reinforce 4A via statute.

They can support 4A by loudly arguing Johnson has disqualified himself by breaking his Congressional oath.

The public deserves a clear explanation for the FBI’s unprecedented raid of Fulton County’s election offices. And we should all demand an end to the Trump administration’s campaign to interfere with elections.

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Swalwell's performance is first time this hearing has come to life. He brought up Lyons' comment that he wants deportation to be like "Amazon Prime, but with human beings" & is asking whether Amazon Prime ever shot a mom in the head, or a nurse in the back. Old/young Dem divide here is so stark

I am not a legislator but I do not see how it is ok for one guy to break the law by redefining what words mean.
3. So when we noticed that we were going to force the Congress to vote on whether or not there was an emergency 30 days after the initial declaration, Mike Johnson & Co responded by changing House rules to effectively say that 1 day is much, much longer than 24 hours.

Well, those people are already in jail. Know who isn’t in jail? Any of the people who were raping 9 year olds with Epstein.
