Apparently Alan Dershowitz got insulted when he claimed he had a perfect sex life, and forensic psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee thought it verged on delusion like his buddy, IMPOTUS*. Darn those tweets and darn that tendency to lawfare. This may have seemed like symmetric media messaging
Trump’s attempt to throw out E. Jean Carroll’s case fails. Her defamation case moves forward. Trump probably should have “moved” to Florida even earlier. Should there be a GoFundMe to DNA test E. Jean Carroll’s dress. Maybe Mike Bloomberg can check his couch cushions for
Probably more about legal fees since when you have to pay a PR firm to support your lawfare, there are a lot of expenses. CNN settles $275M lawsuit with Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann: report https://t.co/IGwfCDylgv — The Washington Times (@WashTimes) January 7, 2020 CNN
Mike Flynn gets the sentencing memorandum in the aftermath of his “assistance” to the Mueller investigation. The tune-changing, much like Paul Manafort’s results in a shift in the sentencing recommendation. THREAD: Why are federal prosecutors recommending 0 to 6 months in prison for Michael Flynn?
Because your loyalty needs to be questioned by the Trump regime even if your family came here after the Shah was overthrown, and you went to Canada for a visit (in this case to a concert). You could get lucky and get turned back only
We’re all appreciating the history of the moment, even as we are appalled that Trump continues to evade an accounting of the truth of the Arms for Dirt Scandal. Neal Katyal’s thread outlines the coming stakes. THREAD ON IMPEACHMENT AND REMOVAL IN THE NEW YEAR.
At some technical moment in 2020, there will be the delivery of the articles of impeachment, there will be a Senate trial, and some result. Trump however remains impeached in perpetuity. Even if he tries to nullify the impeachment by suing the House and arguing “the entire
Probably the perfect example of the abuse of free-market capitalism: to use prison labor below minimum wage in general, but even more perfect exploitation to have such labor do boiler room work in call centers for political campaigns. Easy to imagine what GOP subcontractors do in
Another choke hold death revealed in today’s release of body cam video. Because three large deputies against a disabled man who was, as a deputy’s lawyer’s claim, ”responsible for his own death”. Darn being pulled over because you don’t look like you own your car. Shame on
For the habitual liar who whines weekly of the unfairness of the truth confronting his follies. fairness should be what Trump wants from his “rigged” Senate trial. Reading Lawrence Tribe’s tweet stream is now more fun, complete with references to Wittgenstein and Rawls, as well as
What an opportunity for Trump to declare a dictatorship during his impeachment trial in the Senate. OTOH it’s another thing for Trump to worry about before Xmas. x JUST IN: Speaker Pelosi invites President Trump to deliver State of the Union address on Feb. 4,
(Trigger warnings) The boss of Donald Trump’s personal banker at Deutsche Bank has committed suicide. x In case you missed the breaking news from late last night: A former Deutsche Bank executive who signed off on Trump loans hanged himself in Malibu last week: https://t.co/TrTWWlWLa4
Eddie the Seal becomes the Joe the Plumber for war crimes, because Trump needs celebrity props for his rallies. The message to the Trump base is that visceral barbarism might be excused under his rule. And are you distracted from impeachment yet again. If Donald
The 120 page ruling on the order for the McGahn testimony came in today. McGahn must comply and testify before Congress. Executive Privilege is limited. Expect a WH appeal. It rejects the Trump argument for absolute immunity. BREAKING Judge rules ex-White House counsel Donald McGahn must
Entanglements continue as Austria reopened the extradition case for Firtash in July 2019 as well as the hiring of lawyers associated with Trump/Giuliani. Ukrainian oligarch Dimtry Firtash tells NYT one of Giuliani's associates (Parnas and Fruman) described offering Firtash help with his DOJ problems — if
Because at this point, Individual-1 knows he has the impeachment acquittal votes, could Trump come before the Senate to make what would be a campaign speech. Trump doesn’t have to appear, but it seems more likely that with a GOP majority unwilling to have defections, Trump
A troubling element of the murder-suicide in Saugus is that the firearm used was a “homemade” or rather home-assembled gun, put together with a parts kit. This subset of the firearms industry has little regulation for such “kit guns”. Unlike home manufacture using 3-d printers, the individual
Without panicking, the potential chaos of the 2016 election, regardless of result could repeat itself, noting Moscow Mitch’s complicity then and now in 2020 election security. This training event could be amusing except that William Barr’s recent speech to the Federalist society warned of impending
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has formally classified the activities of anti-fascist groups (antifa) as “domestic terrorist violence” since early 2016, according to confidential law enforcement documents obtained by Politico and interviews. Federal authorities have reportedly warned state and local officials the antifa has become “increasingly
If it was good enough for the Mueller report, maybe it applies to all of PABOTUS*’s crimes. This continues the speculation fostered by Senators like Lindsey Graham, that Trump is too incompetent to be impeached. It is more amusing to think that 45* is annoyed
