FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino now admits that when he peddled bogus conspiracy theories about the pipe-bombs case, he didn’t know what he was talking about.
“I was paid in the past for my opinions,” he said.
I’m not sure if he’s fully thought this through. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

FBI’s Bongino tries to explain his discredited conspiracy theory in pipe-bombs case
Why did the FBI deputy director get the pipe-bombs case wrong? He has an answer, but it isn’t a good one.

Amazing. Grand Jury refuses Administration effort to reindict Tish James. Those events are typically once or twice in a lifetime for prosecutors, or even offices. Now the Administration is racking them up. A complete humiliation.

Fox News legal contributor Andy McCarthy knocks down Hegseth's defense:
"Neither Hegseth’s statement nor the explanation attributed to Bradley ... makes legal sense.
...
It cannot be a defense to say, as Hegseth does, that one has killed because one’s objective was 'lethal, kinetic strikes.'"

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.
But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Funniest part of an NFL football game is when the defense gets a turnover and very briefly the football team turns into the theatre club and they do their little performance they rehearsed that week.
