I sure hope that someday soon you can find a way at least to allude to the case filed by “Katie Johnson”/Jane Doe, which is described in summary on Wikipedia and in some greater detail a few years back in Newsweek & even longer ago in Politico.

#RachelMaddow, sure I’m positing a conspiracy theory, but how long before we learn that the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) outfit is hiring pardoned Jan. 6 convicts for the violent force mistakenly conducting raids on US citizens? Would anyone be surprised?

Regarding Alex Wagner/Hungary: I wonder how soon protester arrests will start happening:

Good interview but one key quibble: Your story wrote that Trump said, “… the second time, I run the country and the world.” But in Jeff’s transcript, he says, “This time I’m fighting to help the world and help the country….” That’s not just a semantic difference. I hope there’s a clarification.

Wikipedia offers a citation I, at 77, recall well: “In 1943, the Howdy Doody children's radio show adopted the name for its live audience of children. [The show] is most remembered for its later transition to television, which included the Peanut Gallery audience, then on camera. …”

A Vanity Fair article in 1990 reported that first wife Ivana Trump told her attorney that he kept a book of Hitler speeches in a bedside cabinet. Trump said in 2023 that he’d never read Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” though his reference to immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the U.S. echoed the Fuhrer.

Why wouldn’t Jack Smith dismiss charges v. Trump’s 2 lackeys (since that was meant mainly to make both cooperating witnesses), then release THAT report too? Public should learn what’s in it.
