I wrote on another thread for this report that it’s pretty bad when a corrupt lawyer knows his argument is so bad he has to re-do it to get past a judge.

Todd Blanche said a not-true thing? I’m shocked. Absolutely shocked. He must have been exhausted from interrogating all those molluscs. That’s the only thing I can think of that would explain this.

The Fulton County thing looks like (going well beyond Trump’s inability to acknowledge defeat, which was always a motivating factor) an effort to intimidate, discourage, and potentially attack poll workers–you know, the sort of bullshit that Giuliani engaged in and got hit with a $multimillion$ judgment for–only this time with the Feds being the ones turning innocent people’s lives upside down.
I’ve said repeatedly (here and elsewhere) that 2020 was the most scrutinized election in Georgia history. The Republican Governor and SOS could find absolutely no way to turn it in Trump’s favor, which should tell you that it was about as clean an election as this state’s ever had. This, outside of being as petty a Trumpian vendetta as his incessant tilting at windmills, is a transparent attack on free and fair elections.

Hmmm, the wannabe US AG just admitted that he publicly defamed the defendant in a criminal investigation?
And, his aspirations may still be attained?

Oh, no — you mean Trump has bailed on Hegseth’s Project Freedom the moment the first shots were fired? I think we’re gonna need some rebranding — maybe Project Chicken Run?
