Eric Swalwell: One Republican just texted me that if there’s a discharge vote on Epstein they expect a “jail break” of over 100 members. Trump will go nuts!

To everyone and especially MAGAs feeling betrayed by Trump's shameless lie that as president he would release the Epstein files:

Please share this video from 2017 you will NEVER see on Fox revealing how "LOCK HER UP!" in 2016 was Trump's biggest lie since "Make America Great Again".

SCOOTER LIBBY IS BACK, Y'ALL!

He is widely regarded as the most adorably-named fascism-aligned legal figure in US history.

He's back. Scooter Libby, who was tried for the CIA leak, Valerie Plame, and was found guilty, and disbarred. He was granted clemency by Pres. Bush, and yes, pardoned in 2018 by Pres. Trump. In 2016, he was reinstated to DC Bar. Now he Maga, and on Trump team to get James Comey.

Sought?

I'd say "demanded."

If the Comey trial includes a swimsuit or evening gown segment, the defense's job could be challenging after all.

Meet Lindsey Halligan, the 36-year-old former Miss Colorado hopeful who only worked 3 federal cases before Trump promoted her to U.S. attorney | Fortune

Halligan, who twice competed in the Miss Colorado USA pageant, will now lead one of the nation’s most important federal prosecutor offices.

Just theoretically, if the judge in this case really gets outraged by the DOJ's behavior, what's the strongest action they could take? Jail prosecutors for contempt? Dismiss and make a scathing ruling? Recommend disbarments?

James Comey pleads not guilty to charges stemming from 2020 testimony - The Hill

Even if Comey wins his case easily, Trump makes hay by forcing him to appear in front of a judge, hire a lawyer, and defend himself.

I hadn't appreciated the colossal hypocrisy of the Cankles administration charging Comey with LYING TO CONGRESS.

They fucking LOVE lying to Congress. They do it every chance they get, just to be assholes. They think it's a GOOD thing to do if they're the ones doing it.

Can we admit finally that Trump's behavior is erratic and unpredictable because he's not mentally competent, Gov. Pritzker? It's important that the world understands that our president is criminally insane and needs to be removed from power for being unfit to serve. Someone needs to say it daily!💙🇺🇸💙

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 7h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Thank God. Pritzker has FINALLY said what the world knows is true. President Trump has DEMENTIA which is negatively impacting his decision making. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/07/g...

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.

Dear Lord,

You have a rare opportunity here.

If you heal Sister Dolly Parton and smite the iniquitous Donald Trump and his evil sycophants, you may win back some who have drifted away from religious practice.

If not, not.

I'm parent to a daughter, and a retired clinical psychologist.

Pam Bondi has the maturity level of a preteen with Oppositional Defiant Disorder -- the sort who's sent to the vice principal's office regularly for telling her English teacher to go fuck herself.

She needs to be expelled.

He is one of the few GOP that will end up going to Fox news instead of coming from Fox news. Water always finds it level.

I predict that AG Bondi will launch investigations on radical liberal terrorist woke leftist dermatologists for allowing her face to get that way.

I don't like to focus on somebody's appearance, but she has forfeited the presumption of respect-worthiness.

Pam is utterly unsuited to the position of Attorney General. She's incompetent, dishonest, contemptuous, corrupt and pugnacious. Maybe she could find a role in the corrections industry. Possibly in an incarcerated position.

The entire Trump administration and its supporters are cartoonish super-villains just DARING us to take a moral stand about their crimes.

So it turns out evil really does exist. It's not just a matter of mistrust and fear between groups. #Nazis #PolPot #Epstein #Miller #DJT #Putin

Hi. That raid on the Chicago apartment building? The one where they zip tied crying children and dragged them into the street? They did it for Wells Fargo

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
