I’ve been REALLY reticent to use the term “disappear” to refer to people arrested by immigration enforcement, even when there’s now routinely a lag of hours or days before loved ones know where they’re being held.

A man missing for weeks and the immigration system that lost him
Vicente Ventura Aguilar got picked up last month, but his family doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive. ICE says he’s not in their system, so they say they can’t help.

The charge the Comey grand jury rejected pertains to this doc--prosecutors still want to use it to prove existing Count Two. Kash misleadingly declassified it in 2020 and declassified Durham annex this year. Kash is stalling on declassifying whole thing.

Too be clear on this: DC USAO was probably RIGHT to destroy these files, bc they were obtained in violation of DOJ media guidelines (this was a YUGE story in 2021). But that also means DOJ has destroyed evidence that would exculpatory to Comey.

Here's the proof Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer wants to use to prove that Letitia James was using the house she bought for her grand niece as an investment property -- her $2,700 loss on the house in the year she was allowed to rent it for a few months.

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?
