Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

A reporter needs to ask him how he manages to walk so well with his catheter bag- they need to be sure to speak loud, clear & slowly because he's losing his hearing and it takes his brain a little minute to decipher things.

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

It’s not even a swearing contest.

Both McCabe and Comey agree: They DID NOT discuss the leak before the article published.

McCabe has said *he* authorized it, not Comey.

Their recollections diverge on whether McCabe told Comey that he had authorized the leak AFTER the article published.

did not know who did.
The Justice Department (quite disgracefully) tried to bring a criminal case against McCabe for his statements in the matter. A grand jury in 2019 refused to return an indictment on the subject. It would be quite rich, having sought and failed to charge one party to a memory dispute to turn around and try to charge the other.
The case has another problem: McCabe's own statement to the inspector general acknowledges that he did not discuss the disclosure with Comey in advance of the art le's publication. As the report summarizes: "McCabe told us that he did not recall telling Comey prior to publication of the October 30 article that he intended to authorize or had
authorized Special Counsel and AD/OPA to recount his August 12 call with PADAG to the WSJ, although he said it was possible he did."
In other words: Neither McCabe nor Comey suggests that Comey knew about or authorized the leak prior to the article's publication. Yet that is what Cruz's question to Comey in 2020 was about.
At best, McCabe's account of the Oct. 31 meeting suggests that Comey acquiesced to the disclosure after the fact. But he never "authorized" it, even under the least generous version of the facts.
