The only reason Halligan handled it herself is because the office’s career prosecutors didn’t want any part of the case

We're already communicating that to China in the shameful way we're treating Ukraine

Maybe, but no reputable magazine should have given her the time of day after the Kennedy nonsense

The film worked worked precisely because they all died.

Just the way Justice Kavanaugh wanted it.

In a just world, Justice Kavanaugh would be subjected to one of these Kavanaugh Stops every day for the rest of his life.

As I understand it, the statute applies in this case

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

That, and placing "Rogue One" ahead of anything from the prequel or sequel trilogies.

"Rogue One" really was all that, and it worked *precisely because* they all died.

Every day since June 16, 2015--3,814 days!--Trump has either been running to be President, or been President.

He has still, in all that time, failed to actually put forward even "concepts of a plan" for health care.

I imagine the statute was written under an assumption that prosecutors generally act in good faith. When prosecutors decide to go rogue...

That's basically what happened. But the statute still applies. Except, perhaps, if one of Comey's other dismissal motions results in a dismissal with prejudice.

Just want to remind everyone that Mike Flynn told a crowd of rabid QAnon troglodytes in no uncertain terms that the military should conduct a coup in order to reinstall Trump as an unelected dictator, and he never once was subject to the penalties that the UCMJ demands for that sort of thing
