#46 in United States v. James (E.D. Va., 2:25-cr-00122) – CourtListener.com NOTICE Of Reasons for Not Providing Pre-Vindictive/Selective Prosecution Motion Related Discovery by USA as to Letitia A. James (Keller, Roger) (Entered: 11/04/2025)

JUST IN: Unusual filing in Tish James case. DOJ says it isn't complying with judge's order to turn over discovery on selective prosecution issue. Usual procedure would be move to reconsider the order but prosecutors file 'notice' telling judge no. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

try: But the @latimes.com appears to want to make it look like it's an objective truth that even just basic decency within the GOP is a "left point of view", by attributing that wackaddodle opinion to the all powerful all seeing AI oracles it now appears to have on staff.

don't give credence to "handing over the keys to AI" - all these jokers are doing is STILL just making shitty decisions, but having a bot nearby to take the blame when their shitty decisions are recognized as particularly shitty AND bad for their businesses.

don't feed that shirk of responsibility.

In January 2025, there was a sudden and dramatic shift in the posture of the investigation. SDNY prosecutors notified the survivors that they were sending their investigative files to Washington, D.C. and that prosecutors at DOJ headquarters would be leading the investigation moving forward. Yet it appears the case was not transferred so that it could be continued. Unbeknownst to both survivors and SDNY prosecutors, it was transferred so that it could be killed.

Per @raskin.house.gov letter SDNY moved a still-active Epstein investigation to Main DOJ when Trump came in.

wan't this the same ranch where Scalia died while visiting?

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'

Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

This begs the question: if within the sandwich strike zone, is the survivability onion affected by the presence of onions on the sub

Stay for #2. If you're not furious afterward, you're a horrible person.

This story keeps getting worse.

just reply-all "unsub this chaos" to join in!

too many guns in a Bass Pro for that shit to go on...

They're really having fun with it on tiktok.

This is brilliant

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Trump just told CBS he doesn't know who Changpeng Zhao is — the cryptocurrency billionaire he pardoned last month with ties to the first family's own crypto venture.
