I was speaking of being fair to the Northern California office of the federal DOJ, that this was not necessarily a trumped up charge (pun intended). But I’d agree that a. It doesn’t bode well for Newsom, and b. greed effing sucks, what are people thinking?

Exactly! This investigation started 3 years ago. She left Newsom’s office a year ago.

Please everyone note that this investigation started 3 years ago when Biden was president and she left Newsom’s office in December before trump took office.
This is really bad timing - should have come to a head 2 years ago. Really poor timing.

I think they will do that anyway. More likely - 1. Complete cluster with holiday travel or potential for an unrepairable mistake, 2. Distress from SNAP stop creating anger and crime and an appeal to the right, or 3. The forcing of seating the last Epstein vote and it cycles the thanksgiving news.

The person who fainted is the CEO of one of the drug companies that made the deal. But they hadn’t introduced him to the press so no one knew who he was when the incident happened.
The photo of chaos behind him while Trump stares straight ahead … priceless. Oh, and RFK ran away when it happened.
