There was the brief period in 2020 when he died

I don’t think Trump’s a communist, but “when his mouth is moving he is lying.”

The Blanche interview by itself would let her plead the 5th. Lying in the interview would've been a federal crime, so Congressional testimony could expose her to prosecution.

The Wicked Bible commanding people to commit adultery is pretty good

I love the disconnect with their expressions

She’s like “nailed it”, while he’s not so sure

Considering the law gives Pam Bondi many unreviewable grounds to stop release, that seems absolutely certain

If Ike had been all over Alger Hiss’ emails, that would be worth looking at

Looks extremely interesting! I just bought the audiobook.

Is he not aware the DC statehood bill carves out an area for the Capital, which will not be part of any state?

Exactly! She assumes the accused guilty, so a jury trial merely delays the inevitable.

“All” after Bondi culls those that—in her sole judgment—might interfere w/criminal investigations or affect US foreign policy

But Bondi’s a straight-shooter, so I’m being cynical thinking she’ll use those exceptions to hide Trump material

Oh no! They’re going after Stacey Plaskett! The [checks notes] nonvoting rep from the Virgin Islands.

Not sure the Dems recover from that

Whatever happened to Tom Goldstein’s potential tv show?
Is that still in the works?

Just re-watch First Monday in October. No need to make a tv show.
