Chat GPT is pretty useless at creating simple stuff isn't it?
It will happily steal examples though, it just can't currently do anything with them. I was curious.

As the great @annabower.bsky.social is reporting today, the government has now admitted the current 2-count Comey indictment was never actually voted on by the grand jury - a possibility I discussed here.
This case is imploding even faster than I expected.

Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi:
"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... Things happen... He knew nothing about it."
A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

The President doesn’t really want the Epstein files to be released. He just reversed his position because Republicans were getting their asses kicked.
If Trump wanted to, he could order the release of the files right now.
