Not least bc (as @whitehouse.senate.gov noted), the Reid Hoffman slur was false.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Maybe I missed it, but no MSM I know of mentions that Zelenskyy originated the idea of a "mineral deal" last year. MSM makes it sound like it was a Trump idea.
"Last fall, Ukraine floated the idea of opening its critical minerals to investment by allies."

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations."

Dale Ho REALLY thinking out of the box, appoints super conservative (and renowned appellate lawyer) Paul Clement as his amicus.
![ORDER as to Eric Adams. On February 19, 2025, the Court held a conference on the Government's Motion to Dismiss the Indictment in this matter under Rule 48(a), see ECF No. 122. In light of the Government's motion and the representations of the parties during the conference, it is clear that trial in this matter will not go forward on April 21. Accordingly, trial is ADJOURNED SINE DINE. The Order setting a pretrial schedule, ECF No. 87, is hereby vacated, and all deadlines set forth therein are also ADJOURNED SINE DIE....[*** See this Order ***]... Accordingly, to assist with its decision-making via an adversarial process, the Court exercises its inherent authority to appoint Paul Clement of Clement & Murphy PLLC as amicus curiae to present arguments on the Government's Motion to Dismiss. See Seila L. LLC v. Consumer Fin. Prot. Bureau, 591 U.S. 197, 209 (2020) ("Because the Government agrees with petitioner on the merits of the constitutional question, we appointed Paul Clement to defend the judgment below as amicus curiae. He has ably discharged his responsibilities."). The Court expresses its gratitude to Mr. Clement for his service and will provide Mr. Clement a copy of this Order and the transcript from the February 19 conference. It is hereby ORDERED that the parties and amicus curiae shall address: 1) The legal standard for leave to dismiss an indictment under Rule 48(a); 2) Whether, and to what extent, a court may consider materials other than the Rule 48(a) motion itself; 3) Under what circumstances, if any, additional procedural steps and/or further inquiry would be appropriate before resolving a Rule 48(a) motion; 4) Under what circumstances, if leave is granted, dismissal should be with or without prejudice; 5) If leave were denied under Rule 48(a), what practical consequences would follow, including whether dismissal would nevertheless be appropriate or necessary under other rules or legal principles (e.g., for "unnecessary delay" under Rule 48(b) or unde…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreifhhjvfanamkgi5i2fkuwdzaznhqymcnhp5dqc3mgbkpm2laye3u4@jpeg)

And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.
