  1. Oliver Kornetzke is from Wisconsin. Trenchant observations, though. https://oliverkornetzke.substack.com/ https://thehobbledehoy.com/tag/oliver-kornetzke/
  2. As a general proposition, Mystic women do not name their kids like this. That's another demographic entirely.
  3. Who is acting like a vindictive child, now?
  4. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he was a radio commentator in LA for many years and was #1 rated for a lot of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Minyard
  5. All of the above said, after 34 years of practicing the law, I am still rather constantly amazed what federal judges will dismiss. That's mostly in the civil context, but goes for criminal too.
  6. Juror lap dances by the US Attorney?
  7. Just the Truth post by Trump is likely sufficient to show the "improper motive" aspect of a selective prosecution claim. The hardest part of such a claim is to show that those similarly situated were not prosecuted. "Similarly situated" is one of those legal buzz phrases that most lawyers know mean "no one is actually similarly situated" and you will lose this. There's always some nit that keeps the situation from being similar. And Trump tried to prosecute McCabe, but couldn't secure an indictment.
  8. I think hope and pray that this is true. And that their main issue was an ill-informed view of the economy.
  9. Ana is pissed about the abuses of the FISA court enumerated in the Carter Page dustup. I suspect that kind of thing is more normal for the FBI than abnormal and probably every single FBI director could be charged with unlawful and distasteful "citizen surveillance" during his/her tenure. I'm not a giant fan of the FBI myself, as a general matter, independent of director or administration. They're still cops and subject to pretty much all criticisms that can be leveled at cops. I also have a more generalized beef with the federalization of crime. But I'm not going to take that out on any specific director. That said, Comey seemed particularly a "glory guts" director that put himself or allowed himself to be put in the middle of things he'd have better stayed out of or lowered his profile. That doesn't merit criminal prosecution. Still, I find it vaguely satisfying that he's getting wrung out a little. What will be interesting to see is whether he does the "innocent man" defense and push for a quick trial, or employ the dilatory tactics common to those that can afford them. He can probably file highly meritorious pretrial motions on things like selective prosecution, but however meritorious, those are long-shots. He's probably best off to go to trial as fast as he possibly can. ED Va is known as a rocket docket in the civil context, don't know about criminal. But this is a pretty simple case, it seems.
  10. I feel like there are some parents, probably moms and maybe not bereaved ones, egging this on. There certainly was a lot of "Mystic must go on" sentiment at the time from certain corners.
  11. Popehat on the indictment:
  12. Ok not a band a DJ, but yep, that's her. RAT may not have originated in that thread, but I believe that poster applied the term to her in that thread, if somewhat generously. My recollection, which is proving accurate, if flawed, was the poster was a younger guy affiliated with another school, so bringing a slightly different demo and region to bear.
  13. Some chick, I think in a band or something, got doxxed and someone else, a poster from another school I believe, said she had some "rude ass titties." And she found herself from the doxxing and kind of complained but also turned out to be a pretty good sport about the whole thing. She also used the term "shit on blast," which was one of the first times I had heard that. There was a sorority girl or some kind of young Karen who got her mugshot and then Facebook, etc. posted and she tried to get Bob to take it down, but got shitty about it, so he said fuck you.
  14. BC Rich 😬😬 Or pronghorn. Two usernames of the same person who might also be Chad Briscoe, or hitbyatrain.
  15. Oh, I'm sure we could come up with others. Patel, Hoover, some that were quietly very bad.
  16. Fun fact for Laura Coozer. This lady also represented the fake Covid card "doc." She's also a UT law graduate. A year after me. Oh shit, she's an honest-to-God horn. BBA 89.
  17. The fundamental premise is that they will fail on that point.
  18. About as skinny an indictment as you can possibly have. Because it refers to authorizing someone "at the FBI" to leak, it apparently refers to conflicting accounts between him and McCabe about authorized FBI leaks to the WSJ about Clinton, ironically. McCabe authorized them, the conflict is whether he told Comey or Comey remembered being told. https://oig.justice.gov/reports/report-investigation-certain-allegations-relating-former-fbi-deputy-director-andrew-mccabe The DOJ IG found Comey more credible than McCabe and Trump tried to prosecute McCabe, but the grand jury no-billed.
  19. Not for this bullshit.
  20. They want to escape the DC jury pool, both grand and petit. Good bit of educated speculation that they'd seek the indictment in Norfolk or Richmond for that purpose. Alexandria isn't DC, but it's demographics are pretty similar.
  21. Im a little surprised a grand jury true-billed it. Anyone know whether it was Richmond or Norfolk? Oh, I see it was Alexandria. That's interdasting.
  22. Creeping Jesus, there's more gold than the last time I looked.
  23. That's pretty wild. Compulsory religious education of multiple faiths.
  24. Deus Vult.
