So wait. Will their theory be (1) this time prosecutors other than Halligan will present to the grand jury so it’s different, or (2) now we’ve done some sort of double secret blessing of Halligan’s position so it’s different, or (3) fuck the law?
Breaking on MS NOW: The Trump Justice Department is considering seeking another indictment of James Comey this week in the Eastern District of Virginia. It might be going before a grand jury today.
This would be in lieu of appealing the ruling from last week dismissing the case against Comey.

Thanks and prayers to Pam Bondi who has to still try the six Dem legislators for the "don't follow illegal orders" video in light of these illegal orders being followed
Crucial point from @jenrubin.bsky.social: The leaks about the bombings show there's a ton of deep consternation inside the military and civilian leadership about what's happening. And that can only get worse.
On the pod Jen is so illuminating on this scandal:

Bad news for Hegseth, it turns out the Pentagon is a big bureaucracy filled with people who got there because they know how to fight bureaucratic battles and they will wait for you to lie about something then leak details about it. Who knew?
A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).
Wall Street Journal:
"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...

Lizza’s big reveal was nothing.
Lizza says Nuzzi had a “poor quality” recording that might or might not have included Trump saying something about his bloody ear that might or might not have contradicted the official narrative about the assassination attempt but then deleted the recording after talking with RFKJr.

So about those Democratic legislators reminding service personnel to disobey illegal orders.. can we circle back
Breaking: Sen. Jacky Rosen of the Foreign Relations Cmte. says, if reports are true, "Hegseth likely committed a war crime when he gave an illegal order that led to the killing of incapacitated survivors of the U.S. strike in the Caribbean."
Rosen adds: "He should resign immediately."

That's the smartest thing I've ever heard him say
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

BASH: Trump is clearly very concerned about Central & South American presidents allegedly trafficking drugs to the US. So why is he planning to pardon former Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking?

Trump’s only principles are hypocrisy and corruption.
Bombing unmarked boats in the Caribbean one day, pardoning notorious drug traffickers the next.
It’s all the more reason for the Senate to conduct vigorous oversight of this Administration’s actions. And we will.

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"
