Why are we still at the point where we report what this guy says? He’s always lying? Where’s the value in reporting lies? I don’t want to read a story like this anymore.

Here's the key passage from NYT.

Miller: I'm looking for ways to use WOT precedents to attack Latinos. Can we bomb Mexico?

Adults: Well, that would undermine efforts against drug trafficking.

CIA: How about fake boat bombings?

Miller: Death! I must have death!!!

“Trump’s ego poses clear and present dangers to American democracy and American world leadership,” David Frum argues. “An ineffective anti-Trump movement is an indulgence American democracy cannot afford or accept.”

In the Maduro capture operation, the Trump administration relies on Bill Barr’s (discredited) 1989 memo claiming a President can disregard the UN Charter (CNN report).

That is a loaded gun. The legal analysis is utterly flawed.

My assessment just published:

Trump’s comments on the Venezuela attack were staggeringly dumb and brazen. In a Fox interview and speech today, he said the U.S. is taking over the nation’s oil, coined ‘Donroe Document,’ and said, “Nobody can stop us.” Here are his wildest remarks.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

It should be a massive scandal. It’s also wildly illegal, but as we’ve seen, Trump’s DOJ exists entirely to protect him - not to actually uphold the law.
