  1. The actual prosecutors are doing their job, basically, see post 494. The problem with them is that they for some unfathomable reason stepped up to handle a case where they knew or should have known that the government/administration would put them in difficult ethical positions. See also post 494. So far, what Halligan has been shown to have been done is incompetence, which is an ethical violation, but is usually addressed by malpractice litigation rather than lawyer discipline.
  2. As glaringly incompetent as she is, the rest of Trumpco (Harmeet Dhillon, Todd Blanche) doesn't seem much better. And they really are running off all the decent civil servant prosecutors.
  3. Yeah, that's what the magistrate indicated, but wasn't quite as sure that that rendered the indictment a nullity. Whatever popehat says about it is probably accurate because he's a seasoned federal prosecutor and defense lawyer. This is probably a rare situation because it is probably pretty rare for a federal grand jury to no bill an indictment, period, much less just one charge. Meaning, federal prosecutors don't often bring indictments to the grand jury without probable cause, and the probable cause standard means you can indict a ham sandwich.
  4. Only in that she's dark haired with blue eyes. Amanda is hot af. Nance pales in comparison. Prognathous. And yeah, Amanda would play her well.
  5. Next time Karoline interrupts or over talks a White House reporter, they should say "Quiet piggy."
  6. Really, at this point, I don't think what's in the files matters. First off, I think if there had been indictable/convictable evidence in there, there would have been indictments and convictions. Second, enough good stuff has been released to create quite a cloud of suspicion. Third, Trump is going to continue to obfuscate, by redaction, withholding because of investigation, etc. The best thing about it is that it won't die down and Trump continues to blunder into keeping it very alive. LBJ was right, "make the sonofabitch deny it."
  7. I didn't watch the video first time I saw this. Christ, she looks really deranged in that. Hair's dirty, but she stuck a flower in it to compensate or some shit, looks like she just got up from a bender.
  8. Probably mentioned before, but I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. That gives me access to a lot of what I'll call "pulp fiction," books published by Thomas & Mercer, Amazon's imprint and some other off brands. Some of those authors are more serious/better than others. I hog through them at a pretty high rate. But, I'll say this: in the realm of non-literary fiction, some of them are pretty, pretty good. This one, a fairly serious spy thriller, was one of the most engaging page-turners I've come across in a while. https://www.amazon.com/Honeytrap-Espionage-Thriller-Book-ebook/dp/B0D4614BLM It's part of a three book series with 2 and 3 as yet unreleased, so I was unable to verify if this was a one-off. Same guy also did a series with some spy hero named Lance Spector. Haven't dug into those. It's a pseudonym and there's no information on the author, really, but it seems he might know of what he speaks.
  9. What's kind of odd about that is that, in the court proceedings, local cops were mostly "nah, this is no big deal, we got it under control," which severely undermined ICE's allegations of violence and interference. That was Chicago and Broadview PD, though, not Cook County Sheriffs. I guess Sheriffs there are kinda shitty like in LA and Texas.
  10. Also what's this about normalizing pedos? Been keeping up with Megyn Kelly?
  11. And you know what us libs say? Let the chips fall where they may, prosecute the guilty, D, R, L, whatever.
  12. So, Epstein got some campaign email from a Democrat. Where's the part about fucking little girls? You know, like this You fucking rube.
  13. As if you needed any evidence that Trump's policies are being dictated by tech oligarchs, this is about all the evidence you need.
  14. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.1150387/gov.uscourts.txwd.1150387.1437.0.pdf at page 17. Also, I erred above. Jerry Smith was appointed by Reagan. He's old-school Fifth Circuit, meaning a real judge. He dissented though, so I misread original reports.
  15. That letter went out on the signature of Civil Rights Chief Harmeet Dhillon.
  16. So, is it now OK to call them Nazis?
  17. Greg Bovino:;Portrait of A Psycho. Murdoch publishing thinks this is flattering.
  18. I was looking at some other Texas sports page where she and her title didn't appear. There was a Zoe, an Amy and an Emily that didn't seem likely, in appearance or title, subject to the Applewhite exception.
  19. Possible, yes. In this timeline, not sure. I think I'd be happy with the status quo. I think the demographics and general disposition of California is that they're less likely to fuck it up than Texas. There was a time when saying that would be laughable. Not no mo.
  20. Allegations are not proof. The key point here is that two judges, both politically inclined not to find racial problems, found racial problems with the gerrymander.
  21. I wonder if he hired Keller Postman or those two fat fucks here in Austin to prosecute that shitshow at taxpayer expense. ETA: These two fat fucks.
  22. It's not on this thread, but one of the others regarding the effective dissolution of the United States Department of Justice. It's infuriating and sad. It has never been a perfect institution, by any stretch of the imagination, but what Trump and his cronies are doing is fucking disgusting.
  23. California is likely not stupid enough to create an inference of racial gerrymandering, which is the problem here. And you have a Trump appointee and a GHWB appointee finding racial gerrymandering. It must be pretty blatant.
