"Prosecutors asserted that, whether or not the communications were private, whether or not the parties consented to the acquisition of the contents, and whether or not the communications were on a public server, the journalist can be prosecuted for acquiring and publishing them"
The Atlantic editor who broke "Signalgate" did nothing wrong. He could be prosecuted anyway.
The Trump administration has been at war with journalists—and a Biden-era DOJ prosecution has opened up a path for them to go after Jeffrey Goldberg.

Biden should keep going with his pardons: Trump, Jack Smith & team, Mueller & team, and a blanket pardon for all on Trump’s enemies list for any and all political statements before December 25, 2024! Merry Christmas:-). Take the wind out of retribution/revenge!

free idea for Thom Tillis and Susan Collins: resist Trump most usefully by resigning and letting Democratic governors appoint your replacements

Putting aside the ethical and moral considerations, Matt Gaetz doesn’t even possess the basic legal skills and experience to be the AG.

The Dems should just release the report on Gaetz with or without the approval of the Republicans. Fuck them.

So Matt Gaetz is about to be the subject of a damning House Ethics Committee report exposing his illegal behavior… and in order to give him a pretense under which he could resign and evade accountability… Trump offered him the role of the top law enforcement official in the United States of America.

Dems are like, “We don’t want to appear irresponsible or overtly political so we’ll nominate the most qualified, slow moving, inoffensive person ever for Attorney General”—then Republicans get elected and they’re like, “Fuck it, another rapist!”
