My opinions are mine own and not my employer’s. Let me underscore that: MY OPINIONS ARE MOST CERTAINLY NOT MY EMPLOYER’S.

What a day, huh? The interview with Marjorie Taylor Greene on a Sunday show is gonna be something.
A friend is convinced she saw something in the Files and is just done with government.

Just finished watching the penultimate season of Justified (late to the game), and while I appreciate the Appalachian foothill justice of East Kentucky, the U.S. Marshall played by Timothy Oliphant has repeatedly violated four Amendments to the Constitution, and he fucks around on his wife. Hero??

Lindsay Halligan has had such a disastrously public day that, as a practicing trial attorney—and I mean this, I really do—I *almost* feel sorry for her.

Bad day to be Pam Bondi.

Bad day to be Pam Bondi.
Pam Bondi said they would, with regard to the Epstein files “follow the law and provide maximum transparency,” which is a tight, lawyerly way to say they will follow the parts that allow them to withhold the good stuff for ongoing investigations and be transparent about the meaningless rest.

This is the front page headline in Politico, and when you get into the article, it quotes two unnamed White House sources, and the only thing they can come up with was they will go after Stacey Plaskitt for texting with Epstein during a hearing.
Plaskitt is a non-voting rep for the Virgin Islands.

Whatever rizz Trump had is rapidly ebbing away. The special elections were the first major crack in his armor, and the events of this week make him look weak and utterly lame duck.

Legal malpractice and grounds for both sanctions (previously lying to the judge) and perhaps disbarment. Embarrassing moment for any DOJ, but par for the course with these fools. God how I can’t wait for this whole crew to be run out on a rail.
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

The Rodriguez/Ward move only makes sense if it’s one part of a larger trade schematic, so I have to withhold judgment until I see that bigger picture.

When this Trump term ends, it may well be that the one branch of government that stood firm* is the federal judicial system. And that’s making the difference.
*SCOTUS notwithstanding, but district courts are pushing back, signaling they don’t have to follow unexplained shadow docket decisions.

This is sickening
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
