Surprised Barr hasn’t reined in Wray yet or put his thumb on the scale to eliminate these assessments over rightwing conspiracies…all of which have been growing and encouraged by this White House.
Wray will be the next one to announce his early retirement if this keeps up. One day he just might wake up to find a tRump tweet announcing his resignation.

Trump judge. Trump is effectively above the law as president. We have to vote him out and we’ll probably need to get lucky.

Hmmm, it seems like the FBI just said that some of the things being said by members of the administration constitute a terrorism threat to the nation…that’s a pretty bold statement, and surprising that it was allowed. The FBI hasn’t really been going along with the Trump craziness unless directly ordered to do so, and has been raising the alarm that right wing nuts are a danger to society. This will lead to more attacks from Trump, as he tries to defend his white supremacist base from FBI investigations…and that’s probably a good thing, if he crosses over to being against the FBI dealing with terrorism then he’ll lose a bunch of middle-of-the-road conservatives.

And the Impeachment Inquiry is now at 50% of the Dem Caucus.
It is going to have to come down to whether we have three co-equal branches of government or one.

IANAL, but I think this is just what NYS proposed to the judge.

The equality of the branches is strictly dependent on which party occupies them.

There was an article today about a group of people hunting for pedophiles in the Arizona desert. I imagine at least some of them are armed.

I think this is their new projection conspiracy - I got an email from my GOP rep about what he’s doing to combat child sex trafficking at the border. Now the immigrants are pedophiles and sex traffickers.
Sure they are - everyone knows Jeffrey Epstein and Alan Dershowitz came here from Guatemala.
