Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 9h

One thing that took almost a year was a battle in the courts for testimony from nearly a dozen key witnesses that claimed executive privilege. Then there was a 4 month delay in getting stuff from the J6 Committee. Then Twitter threw up roadblocks over subpoenas for Trump's account info. END/

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 9h

One of the reasons the Jack Smith investigations seemed to take forever is because Biden's DoJ *did* have their hands around the evidence before they indicted. And they'd have convicted, too, if it weren't for those pesky SCOTUS fellas. 1/

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 17h

At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I shudder to think about it.

I cry for everyone ICE assaults. But it strengthens my resolve to continue to speak out against this tyranny.

I love how he kept telling her to keep her trashy mouth shut. She ran out of canned responses so she then sat there like the dumb ass bitch that she is

Thanks for the clarification. I was repeating what Rachel Maddow said. But the Presbyterian pastor was trying to stop the violence against innocent Americans and was viciously attacked in the process.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Thank you. Comey was wrong to talk publicly about Hillary in 2016 and knows it. But this is vindictive prosecution and the orange trash who calls himself president will not stop with Comey. Win or lose, he will continue his vindictive prosecutions against other perceived enemies on his list.
