The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Judge Xinis notes that the govt's witness wasn't prepared for the testimony she ordered:

"I had very specific directions for what that witness should be prepared to testify about."

She adds that it's getting close to "three strikes, you're out."

As with Comey, the charges against Letitia James have no signature other than Trump’s handpicked personal attorney Lindsey Halligan.

No line prosecutor signed this document.

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.

Oh I don't want to give the impression that the conservative students have always been happy about what I teach. First time I taught the gun class we held a campus forum and they held their own opposing event with Larry Pratt, a man famous for hanging out with Nazis and white supremacists

It's great that worked for you.

My experience has been, because I am a women, they would be somehow lessened if they learned anything from me. It then becomes their aim to ruin the course for as many other people as possible.

It was a great course anyway, as they were largely outnumbered.
