NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.

The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

What happens if this alleged January 6 pipe bomber claims that he was merely a tourist who just wanted to put on a fireworks display to celebrate President Trump's victory in the 2020 election?

Would that get him a pardon, a dismissal, and maybe damages?

If you want to know about the charges against Congressman Cuellar, the Democrat Trump just pardoned, here's my breakdown from when the case was indicted.

Trump's abuse of the pardon power is so destructive to the rule of law, in so many ways.

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.
