NEW: Mr. Abrego's lawyers believe that the lies DOJ told in the civil case warrant immediate dismissal in his criminal case. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/more-evide...
More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.
Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

Mark Kelly: "They're tying themselves in knots trying to explain why what they're doing with regard to these drug boats is legal. It's questionable at best. One of our biggest allies, the UK, recently stopped sharing intelligence with us in the Caribbean because they question whether this is legal."

donald trump’s caving to Vladimir Putin makes a few things clear.
Current demands of partial surrender of Ukrainian territory to Russia serves to fuck over Ukraine and pump up Putin.
It gives trump fake bragging rights.
It assures Russia’s goal to finish the invasion at a later time #USDemocracy

Surprised by the corruption in Trump's administration?
Then you didn't pay attention to Trump's adult and adulterous history or the goals of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 insane plan.
What is shocking is how in the world can his girlfriend look into those eyes?

Rubio told senators that the 28-point peace plan drawn up by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterpart, Kirill Dmitriev, was actually a Russian plan that the U.S. had agreed to. Zelensky and EU allies are alarmed by the prospect of a bilateral U.S.-Russia deal without Ukrainian input.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.
