Lots of people are denying that crimes were committed. Sorry that you’re unaware of facts

there's an old Looney Tunes cartoon where a guy drives his dog deep into the woods, throws a stick, and tries to drive away before the dog gets back

to be clear, this is not legal advice on how to deal with your elderly parents

Ingrassia is an obvious pervert, and based on this letter I suspect Mr. Paltzik is as well

Paul Ingrassia is now threatening to sue Politico:

“This vexatious political attack masquerading as "journalism" is defamatory and will be addressed in forthcoming litigation.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Re: Statement on behalf of my client Paul Ingrassia regarding last night's story, Key Trump nominee accused of sexual harassment, POLITICO (Oct. 9, 2025), https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/09/ingrassia-trump-harassment-dhs-
00596545
POLITICO's hit piece about Mr. Ingrassia is calculated to cause maximum harm to his promising career — and torpedo his nomination for Special Counsel. This vexatious political attack masquerading as "journalism" is defamatory and will be addressed in forthcoming litigation.
To be 100% crystal clear, so that there is zero room for doubt: Mr. Ingrassia did not engage in any wrongdoing in connection with the matters reported. As POLITICO itself reported: "The woman, whom POLITICO is not naming, said in a statement that she 'never felt uncomfortable' about Ingrassia's behavior and said she had never made a complaint." This is one of the only accurate parts of POLITICO's otherwise fantastical and fictional partisan fairy tale.
Accordingly, one last time, I call upon POLITICO to publicly apologize and issue a full retraction of this disgraceful and partisan sludge.

If you are a legal professional and are adding details about the VA property addressed in the Pulte referral letter I strongly suggest that you find a kindergarten teacher to help you with numbers. 20 and 23 are different!

I'm seeing people with legal training comment on the Letitia James indictment while clearly not having bothered to even glance at the indictment. wtf, folks, you should know better

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 1d

It’s not that crazily high, since the intent can’t be implied fairly easily. With the facts here, though, and the vagueness in the indictment it’s probably beyond their reach

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 1d

NEW: “The Justice Department seemed poised to pursue an indictment against Letitia James on pathetically weak charges. Yet the charges that actually ended up in the indictment a jury returned on Thursday may somehow be even weaker.”

Lindsey Halligan didn't have a strong case against Letitia James. She indicted her anyway.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.
