That’ll burn Donnie’s ass.
Deep experience, institutional memory, legal expertise…it warms the cockles of my heart. We are starving for this.
Nice move, Speaker Pelosi.
Because guess who’s going to have all sorts of helpful knowledge when it comes to Trumpbot DOJ trying to thwart Dem House investigations? This is rather brilliant.
Like Leclerc, helping the Free French take their country back. God damn it, we’ve been waiting a long time for this.
This is an effing brilliant appointment.
Stayed until he could stand it no longer. This should be a much better gig.
Inexperienced lawyers who want to build careers in government work for Republicans. Experienced lawyers who don’t want to destroy their careers in government work for Democrats.
Much like Mueller did when staffing the OSC, the House is likewise bringing in the Pros from Dover. Sweet.
Nice one. Always good to start off the new year with a little “Up yours, Donnie”.
OT, just posted this to another thread.
There was nothing on tRump’s agenda today, but just saw that after 6:30 pm there was some OTR (off the record) travel planned.
The ever lovely and congenial Ms. Huckleberry also said there’s no plan for the lump to go to Mar La GoGo at this time.
From his Georgetown faculty bio:
At the Department of Justice, Mr. Letter represented the Federal Government in courts around the United States in numerous significant cases, and presented oral argument for the United States in the Supreme Court and in all of the federal courts of appeals, as well as in various district courts. His primary areas of expertise included constitutional separation of powers and Presidential authority issues, national security and foreign affairs litigation, extradition matters, constitutional takings issues, First Amendment speech claims, Freedom of Information Act cases, ethical rules for Justice Department attorneys, administrative law, False Claims Act enforcement, criminal and civil enforcement of the consumer protection laws, and tort actions brought against federal officials.
As recent examples of the breadth of his litigation work, Mr. Letter successfully represented the United States in federal courts in cases involving: civil and criminal prosecution of those engaged in Medicare and other fraud against the United States or against individual consumers; criminal prosecution of persons engaged in providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations; Executive Branch deterrent actions taken against entities involved in international terrorist financing; protection of sensitive national security information from unauthorized disclosure; and issues concerning foreign investment in the United States that poses national security threats.
“Deep State”
Where did you see this? Could be that Melania is headed back to Mar a Lago and he is seeing her off?
Never mind I found it. Very odd.

And yet the same people who are obsessed with trashing Pelosi will either ignore it, find fault, and/or give someone else credit for the hire.
I was thinking he probably believes it’s safe to leave town now that he’s done his “due diligence” in visiting the troops.
Slipping out the back door hoping no one will notice.
I guess he is OK. I would have preferred they had named James Comey or Andrew McCabe just for the hysterical effects on Fox News…
You were faster, I was about to post that. Maybe he’s off to Afghanistan to visit the crown prince.
Supposedly tRump and Melania’s son has been in Mar la GoGo since the first time she went before Christmas.
