1/ I’m proud to be quoted by Joe Walsh of @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy on the glaring defects in Trump’s accusations of “sedition” against six Democratic members of Congress who urged troops not to follow illegal orders.

Accusations of "sedition" spark uproar after video on refusing illegal orders. Here's what the law says.
Six Democratic lawmakers are facing federal inquiries after they recorded a video urging military service members not to follow unlawful orders, a message President Trump alleged was "seditious."

Last night, my wife and I shared the late train back into our rural town with a very famous model (with her fiance) who lives in the town next door. She was at the top of the heap in the 1980s. You might think I'm crazy, but we left her alone.
She is beautiful in person.

"I have never encountered a group of people who are more competent, more full of grace and empathy, more willing to serve others than nurses. Nurses should take over."

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Best: Volunteering to serve in the kitchen and being allowed to carve the turkey. We left no meat on those bones & skin (which will be used for soup).

As a former sex crimes & CSAM prosecutor, when I see a person acting out in outlandish sexual ways starting in their teen years and continuing for decades who persist in behavior that is clearly causing them harm, I strongly suspect that they were sexually abused as a child.

THIS IS HUGE!
If I understand Harry Litman's cryptic post (he's doing it on the fly), Lindsay Halligan & DOJ created a new document that contained only the two counts that were "true billed" by the Comey GJ & presented it to Court as if GJ had voted on that document, which they never saw.

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.
