I am going to bet that Halligan will overrule
Special Counsel John Durham “told federal prosecutors investigating James Comey that he was unable to uncover evidence that would support false statements or obstruction charges against the former FBI director.
But as we all know corruption in TRUMP appointees goes up exponentially every year, so expect indictments soon.

None of this is really new information, but being consolidated into the latest revenge.
Of course, TFG’s reaction is totally…well…typical
“Deranged Jack Smith got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. A real sleazebag!!!” Trump, who faced criminal charges as a result of the investigation, which were later dropped, posted to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday morning.

“Finally, Some Kind of Legal Rationale for Trump’s Cartel War?”
Yeah, well, just don’t expect to be able to practice law in New York.
Because the recent attacks on Venezuelan vessels and their crews were unauthorized by U.S. law and in violation of binding international law, they were illegal summary executions – murders.

Better headline: AP says TFG lied. Again.
What I find most fascinating in this entire story is the pic that illustrates it. TFG is on an aircraft carrier. And behind a massive wall of bullet proof glass. But I’m not sure what it’s protecting him from as the sailors surround him.
Kamikaze Japanese, perhaps?

Not sure she could handle the caseload of all of these indictments that she’s seeking though she’ll probably learn appellate court procedure (at some point).

I really don’t understand the limp dick response from the fucking Democrats. The national conversation should be led by one thing - that if you break the law, so much as a fucking parking ticket, in support of this criminal president, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, up to and including disbarment and the maximum possible prison time. This is easy. Why no one is doing it, is completely beyond me.

The Trump administration has produced a classified legal opinion that justifies lethal strikes against a secret and expansive list of cartels and suspected drug traffickers, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
The opinion is significant, legal experts said, because it appears to justify an open-ended war against a secret list of groups, giving the president power to designate drug traffickers as enemy combatants and have them summarily killed without legal review.
Uh huh. And how, exactly, are they identifying (with proof, people!) that the people on those boats are, in fact, members of the group. Unless of course they have knuckle tattoos, then it’s all ok.
