At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before.
A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record.

The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. This is happening as immigration courts face a record backlog of cases.

Here’s how to call your House rep in support of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Remember, the more representatives that vote yes in the House, the less likely that the Senate tries to block the bill. So get on the horn!

In terms of incriminating evidence, the smoking gun put Nixon in the coverup, but I doubt there's anything that direct left in there for Trump.
But the larger impact might be close. People were shocked to hear Nixon cussing; now they're surprised at how gross/dumb the emails reveal these men to be.

Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading.
We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though.
But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?
