I’m an ally. I grew up near the swamp with WaPo in my crib. I’m all about politics, at least here. I learn by following those much smarter than me. And I influence by asking them questions and presenting newish ideas.

The DOJ inexplicably released files with loads of victims names, like they have never used a search bar. Why? Retribution? No. The survivors are demanding they ALL get taken down and appoint a special master. This is why. To gum up review and further delay releasing the really nasty stuff. Clever?

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

It’s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what he’d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what he’d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question
This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.

Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard met with some of the FBI field agents responsible for the Georgia election office raid.
During the meeting, she called Trump.
Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising them for their work on the inquiry.
