Good move. They won't be ready.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

Watching Pam Bondi be questioned by the Senate is the stuff of nightmares. That woman should lose her law license and she should be sent to prison for corruption. She is not running the DOJ as an independent agency. She is running it as the felon's personal attorneys. #BondiforPrison #Trumptreason

I'm signing two landmark bills to strengthen California’s fight against hate and antisemitism in schools — creating new accountability systems and requiring stronger responses.

As antisemitism and bigotry rise nationwide, we’re taking action to confront hate in all its forms.

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
