    Yes it was read the information on page 229 and below.

    HERE IS THE LINK

    One other aspect was seen as a positive for Texas. Instead of two-spotting, which is best described as running two practices at once, Texas elected to just one spot for most of the spring. Coaches and players honed in on technique in the opportunities, with younger players getting the chance to watch how older players did things. When some of the more veteran players were kept out, that gave reps to the younger players. But because of the difference in structure related to how often the program practiced with contact, players nursing ailments of any sort could still get reps in without major risk of reinjury.

    In hindsight, that seems like a huge mistake.

    But it may be evidence that Sark thought he had his machine finely tuned and ready to rock, with injury avoidance a priority.  Obviously in error, and maybe/probably a contributing cause.

    assuming they didn't fuck up THAT indictment as well. 

    They weren't operating under the gun there with respect to the statute of limitations.

    I haven't seen the evidence in that one, just heard what educated commentators say.  In Lisa Cook's and other James mortgage cases, the technically incorrect mortgage documents are strongly contradicted by the rest of the documents/record. 

    The one James was actually indicated on instead turns on what the language of the document permits and does not permit (rentals in the first year of the mortgage).  It's my understanding that because of that vagary, DOJ rarely or ever brings fraud prosecutions, but it seems to present a jury question and not something that can be resolved on pretrial motions.

    Also, something to keep in mind about fraud.  Most fraud requires a present intention not to do what you represent you will do.

    Changing your mind and not doing what you represented you would do may be a breach of contract, but if it was a change of mind and not the intention at the time of the representation, it ain't fraud.  And proving it was a present intention and not a change of mind can be mas dificil, amigos.  It's gotten a lot of dirty fuckers off.

    Something bad happened to a young woman/dotard supporter who worked for a Congressperson from NJ

    Something bad did happen. It's just not what she wanted you to think.

    It's a lovely story. She used a tattoo artist for help with the scar lacerations, and her co-conspirator had to google "zip ties near me" to stage the scene.

     

     

    Now Natalie Greene and her co-conspirator face up to 5 years in prison and 3 years supervised release.

    Really surprised Habba Dabba do brought charges.

    Also note that in the press release, she is referred to as "Special Attorney" Habba.  That's an effort to try and shield the consequences of her unlawful appointment.

    28 USC 515 authorizes the AG to hire "special attorneys."  In Jack Smith's case, they argued that a Special Attorney can't exercise the same powers as a US Attorney and must be answerable to one, which Smith was and was not, respectively.  Guess what Habba's doing?  Halligan too.

    I really don't give a flying fuck about Comey, but I hope he walks.  I really enjoy watching these chucklefucks step on rakes.  The more egg that ends up on their collective face, the better. 

    Yeah true.  And he will.  I'm more sympathetic to Letitia James, but I honestly think that case may have to go to a jury.

    The only real question is how embarrassing is this going to get for the DOJ?

    Immune from consequences doesn’t make it legal. People being granted immunity for testimony doesn’t make their deeds now legal. 

    Exactly.  And POTUS may have that immunity, but the rest of em don't.

    Gutting the offseason practice schedule was a big deal imo too. I get the logic behind it but less practice = worse team.

    I'm sure they don't want to part ways. He has shown the upside when he has his shit together and the program has gotten all aligned for the first time in ages, which he deserves plenty of credit for. Plus it's not a great look for anyone if they split. But IF these rumors are real, then yeah they could likely fire for cause and might do so if they feel like he can't get his shit together.

    Did this actually happen?  I know we didn't have a spring game.  But don't recall hearing this until fairly recently.

    If so, it may go a long way to explaining why Sark thinks he has a better team than he's got, and maybe also why the team isn't that good in the first place.

    We have less of those after the Louisiana legislature passed a bill that says undocumented aliens may not recover damages for being injured in auto accidents in Louisiana.

    Put your Maga hat on and fire up your pickup truck.   Feel free to blow through stop signs and traffic lights at high-speed while listening to Kid Rock, because if you cripple or kill some undocumented kids, you can just point at those little brown criminals and laugh while calling ICE on the survivors.

    Goddamn.

    That has got to be unconstitutional, even in the Fifth Circuit.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the current hearing is the defense asking the judge to dismiss the indictment with prejudice, due to malicious prosecution. (I'm hazy on the terms there.).  Since that is very rarely granted, I am curious if the judge might just say there is no valid indictment to dismiss, and sidesteps the bigger question on whether the prosecution overall is malicious. 

    There are multiple questions going on, but this precise one is that they are contending that the indictment, having not been actually heard and true-billed by a grand jury, is defective and should therefore be dismissed.  That is a separate question from many of the others that are now or will be under consideration. like vindictive prosecution, grand jury misconduct, etc.

    One of the critical questions is that limitations has passed, so at first glance, the government cannot just re-indict him correctly this time.

    But, a statute provides a six month tolling of limitations when an indictment is dismissed under certain circumstances.  https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-655-statute-limitations-and-defective-indictments-superseding

    DOJ superiors instructing a lawyer, not to answer a federal judges, specific questions about an important issue with law and fact is usually not gonna go over so well.

    It also came out that Halligan hung around after the grand jury no true build the first attempt, most of the grand jury went home, but the jury for Person and one other grandeur was hanging around, so Halligan got two of the Granger members to sign the second indictment, which she signed and delivered to the federal magistrate.

    Both of those things are far more problematic for them from a discipline standpoint then her being too stupid to know how to conduct a grand jury indictment process.   Inexperienced or no, she was well aware that she presented a totally invalid and no indictment that is lead to Comey retaining criminal defense council to fight that false charge.

    There will be lots of popcorn, consuming fun coming out of this.  There is zero way that Comey’s indictment is not overturned.

    Yep.

    First off, I think it is highly unusual for federal prosecutors to bring an indictment when someone has gone to the trouble of writing a declination memo.  About the only real justification for that is if new evidence comes to light, making the memo inaccurate./Lebowski.

    But in the circumstances in which a declination memo exists in an active prosecution, I might think it would be exculpatory material required to be disclosed by the government under Brady.

    We're not quite at that point yet, but the government here is making noises that it intends to violate Brady.  And that is the most unforgivable prosecution error that can be made, especially when it is intentional.  Well, short of fabricating evidence and suborning perjury, which I would not put past this bunch.

  10. James Boasberg, DC District Judge, continues to doggedly pursue contempt of court against Trump's DOJ for lies told about deporting immigrants subject to an injunction against deportation.

    Related:

    As pointed out in the replies, lawyers drafting declarations is common.  But good lawyers make damn sure the witness/declarant understands and affirms everything in the declaration.

    My favored practice along those lines has been to have the witness write what he wants to say and than transform that into a declaration.

    Witness there also looking to the government lawyers for help.

    Lulz.

    So much for those "mortgage fraud" allegations 

    Well, that's a colossal mistake.  DAG Blanche just hasn't gotten around to shutting that down yet and dismissing the US Attorney.

    I think a lot of the criticism of X was in defense of Quinn

    It doesn't really matter.  The point is the offense isn't able to routinely do things Sark thinks it can.  From practice, or something.

    The players aren't necessarily affirmatively bad, but for whatever reasons, just not performing.  And it's not like they utterly cannot run the offense, they just miss it by  . . . this much.  The pass is off.  The route is a little off.  A missed block.  Drops.

    The glaring exception being the OL.  I'll say it again, last year's OL just wasn't all that, despite the draft picks.  The offense was good enough overall that it seemed like kind of a nitpick, but its lack of push in the run game kept our offense under wraps.

    Of course, now, it's a glaring, massive defect that probably drives everything else wrong with the offense:  Arch struggling, not establishing with the WR, and obviously the never-quite-gets-going run game.

    Even the penalties, which seem most disastrously to center around an OL that is more than half-likely to get bitched on any given play.  They're so nervous they jump, and then hold when they do get bitched; if they manage to engage a rusher at all.

    I'm actually fucking shocked by this. 

    They might actually realize that, in addition to horrendous self-dealing. the law enforcement practice of obtaining call records of suspects and witnesses is so routine that this would create a huge litigation burden from a huge number of people.

    You will get no argument from me. Dude isn't seeing what his guys are capable of bad or good. 

    It's weird though. 

    With the exception of the OL, most of our touted players like Wingo, even Arch, flash some serious potential.  And sometimes they even come around like Worthy, and Arch.  Worthy got a raft of shit on here for the better part of a year.

    It's not quite the same animal, I don't think, as Mack's highly touted recruits that just disappeared or busted.  Or Herman's.

    I have been saying for a couple of years now, it's like he overestimates what his players can routinely do.  And you're saying it too.

    I've asked myself "well is it really just that his player suck?" and the answer to that is mostly no, I think.

    There's some kind of weird disconnect there.

    The special elections during Biden’s term went to Democrats, mostly. So, i confess to being more pessimistic than you are.

    Well, remember, one of Trump's chief problems is that he is in office.  The goldfish brains aren't going to forget that while he remains in office.

    America was sick of his shit by 2020, but forgot about it by 2024.  They're sick of his shit now and will likely stay so.

    There is literally nobody that you’d be happy with in this administration your politics make it impossible.  He’s got smart people like Barry Habib working on LLPA’s that the Biden admin fucked up to all shit by trying to make it a giveaway to shitty credit score borrowers who don’t buy conventional anyway while making it more expensive for people that have virtual no risk associated with their loans, and you have guys like Ishbia who only runs the largest and most successful lender in the world clearly on this speed dial and singing his praises and saying they are being super proactive and doing good stuff. I only look at this shit every day. But sure- I’d rather hear you opinion on it bc it’s designed to absolutely not be politically slanted to absurdity. 
    I know rates are down some and they are doing some smart stuff tomorrow the spreads back to historical norms that got way out of whack over the last couple years. 
    I bet 2026 is a banger. I’m planning on that being the case for me anyway. I’m up 20% in units and 25% in volume and finishing up a record year. It’s not the easiest market we’ve ever had or anything but it’s a damn not better than 23 and 24 were. Or even most of 2022 when it got ugly in a hurry. 

    It's not politics to observe that Bill Pulte is unethical as shit.

    Those are great little airguns, especially considering all the plastic and stamped (not even die cast) parts.

    Back when I was a kid, I chose a Crosman 760 for my big boy pellet gun because it seemed more substantial.  While the 760 is a classic in its own right, I think the Daisy is a better gun.  I have the single-stroke 10m target version today and it's a tack driver.
