Watching @judiciarydems.senate.gov yesterday as they easily roped Pam Bondi into into lying under oath to Congress yesterday reminded me watching Mike Wallace catch John Ehrlichman in lies about the Watergate break-in.

Bondi has this same cockiness.

“They’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one.”

This baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is yet another part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

That is, of course, unless you're talking about private schools...

Then it becomes one of the most important things that the Alberta Government recommends parents pay attention to while choosing a private school.

TIER ONE: Americans who Donald Trump pedophiled with: They get shielded from prosecution for the crimes they did commit.

TIER TWO: Americans who brought Donald to justice for the crimes he did commit, they get prosecuted as revenge even if they committed no crimes whatsoever.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Lindsey Halligan entered this as “AUSA” — presumably because no Assistant US Attorney will go along with this.

The form is unsigned and undated.

I think Halligan is failing to give all the info. Which is why Comey has said he’s filing a motion to dismiss on abuse of the grand jury process. I’m guessing though.

i know grand juries have a relatively low bar for bringing indictments but i find myself wondering WTF is up with some of these grand jurors

Super minor issue of timing.

In the Comey hearing, Pat Fitz said, Hey, can we have basis for Lindsey the Insurance lawyer's appointment stat?

He is submitting that challenge by October 20, before Tish James' arraignment.

MAGA Alberta troll site begs Trump to ban me. Little wonder that MAGA Alberta looks to a foreign adversary for help.
I have been blacklisted by Putin, being banned by Trump would be a source of honour.
And I remain proudly Canadian - true, north, strong, free and never a quisling traitor.
