Cornyn was horrified by Trump and Vance’s behavior. But he can’t say a word because Paxton is about to primary him, most likely with Trump’s endorsement. So Ken taunts him and Cornyn will put political ambition over principle and remain silent.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Fourteen retired federal judges, including Nancy Gertner and Shira Scheindlin, argue that if Judge Dale Ho finds that DOJ's request to dismiss the Eric Adams case is part of a quid pro quo, he should reject the request and maybe appoint a special prosecutor. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![Amici are not aware of any binding authority for the proposition that the Court's inherent authority to appoint a special prosecutor is limited to the contempt context. Although the Seventh Circuit reversed a district court's appointment of a special prosecutor in In re United States, 345 F.3d 450 (7th Cir. 2003), that case is not binding and its reasoning does not apply here in any event. There, the court explained that "[p]resumably an assistant U.S. attorney who accepts a bribe, wants to go on vacation rather than conduct a trial, etc., is acting alone rather than at the direction or with the approval of the Justice Department, and a different U.S. attorney would continue with the prosecution." Id. at 454. This case presents the opposite situation: the DOJ intervened to dismiss the charges against Adams after prosecutors maintained the strength of the case. There is no one to "continue with the prosecution" unless the Court appoints someone. The situation in In re United States was nothing like the unprecedented situation this Court now
faces. Thus, appointment of a special prosecutor would be appropriate here.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreias7hte4zduiakabtbsa5jjvoskl7s4jovnjvaihsbdk3tjt6iw6e@jpeg)

In 2013, Trump tweeted that he wanted to be best friends with Putin. Nothing that happened today is a surprise. Trump has been looking to be Putin‘s wing man for a dozen years. This afternoon, he demonstrated his love for that tyrannical thug.
