Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"We took the freedom of speech away. Because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech — but what has happened is, when they burn a flag it, agitates and irritates crowds."

Fun Fact: I once worked on a high profile prosecution in EDVA with Pat Fitzgerald and his team of AUSAs, all of whom were from outside the district. Let's just say that these Virginia judges do not take kindly to outside agitators, even those from the Department of Justice.

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.

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/

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?

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 spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.
