Yes I am. Without a doubt. I meant by opening his mouth, he confirmed he’s a moron. Any decent lawyer knows the answer he’s likely going to get before he asks the question.
House Dems trying to push the subpoena issue.

BREAKING: House Democrats ask SCOTUS to accelerate issuance of ruling in the Trump subpoena cases to permit timely re-litigation in the lower courts
“The House is planning to quickly revisit its effort to obtain President Donald Trump’s personal financial records, urging the Supreme Court on Monday night to take its final formal steps on the matter so lawmakers can reignite the issue in the lower courts,” Politico reported.
“In a filing late Monday, the House’s top lawyer, Douglas Letter, urged the justices to immediately effectuate their July 9 ruling on the House’s subpoena for Trump’s records. Once the ruling is in force, the House can return to the U.S. District Court judge who initially heard the case and ask for renewed consideration,” Politico explained. “But Supreme Court rulings typically don’t go into force immediately, and Letter noted that the Mazars ruling would normally take effect on Aug. 3 without the intervention of the justices. The lower courts can’t begin to take up the effort until the Supreme Court ruling takes hold, and the House is urging the justices to make that happen as quickly as possible.”
It seemed to me that he answered a ton of questions without actually answering them. I’m also concerned that within a week or two, we might find out that Audrey Strauss has ‘resigned’ and/or been replaced by a different “acting” official.
If that happens, then I think we can safely assume that a full-blown coverup of something is in full swing.
Dust off that Impeachment machine and crank it back up. Chump and Barr this time please.
I suggest adding a couple of words:
we can safely assume that another gargantuan full-blown coverup of something is in full swing.
Agreed and safely assumed…
I am not a Lawyer…so I am speculating…but this is tangentially related to the idea of some people being institutionalists
-
I have seen it with Neal Katyal (sic?), speaking of SCOTUS’s “professionalism”
-
I have seen it with the formidable RBG, who spoke favorably about Brett Kavanaugh
-
And we have certainly seen it with Mueller
…Maybe Berman is simply being an institutionalist and careful to hedge on Barr…so far, anyway.
And…how about we end this crazy day with Bolsonaro bitten by an emu? I hope that poor emu’s okay.

I can top that!
Houston PD are applauded for their handling of a disarmed knife-wielding suspect-- asking for and receiving citizens’ assistance during the physical portion of restraining said suspect.
That’s a fantastic story, better than mine, but mine has an emu! An Australian bird that somehow got to Brazil.
Emus (Ema?) have been making a comeback recently!
One-- who made it al the way to Hollywood! ♫♪
He’s slimy, that’s for sure. E.g., trying to get Berman to reveal his communications from counsel. Amateur move with a guy like Berman.
They’re condensed under “inject disinfectant”, right in the middle.
Apparently it was actually a rhea (called ema in Portugese), the South American relative of the emu.
Where do we find more of these righteous emus?
if Carpenito had come in as acting U.S. attorney after my firing and the unprecedented bypassing of the deputy, it would’ve been a huge blow to the office’s morale and may have resulted in AUSAs resigning, which also would have impacted our investigations
Sounds like we have the reason they wanted to go outside the district. What better way to portect Trump than to gut the entire office. Luckily the ploy failed.
Rachel Maddow - she will present an interview that will be the gold standard for future interviews for Mary.
Rachel doesn’t mess around.
Worst commercial campaign ever…
Thanks – I missed it in the crowd.
