Stunning

There’s a LOT to appreciate there!

Nice calm rainy Seattle day with the puppy.

Anyone that flakes on you needs their head examined. Have a great weekend!

Dear Attorney General Bondi: On February 10, 2025, I received a memorandum from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, directing me to dismiss the indictment against Mayor Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, which would require leave of court. I do not repeat here the evidence against Adams that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed federal crimes; Mr. Bove rightly has never called into question that the case team conducted this investigation with integrity and that the charges against Adams are serious and supported by fact and law. Mr. Bove's memo, however, which directs me to dismiss an indictment returned by a duly constituted grand jury for reasons having nothing to do with the strength of the case, raises serious concerns that render the contemplated dismissal inconsistent with my ability and duty to prosecute federal crimes without fear or favor and to advance good-faith arguments before the courts. When I took my oath of office three weeks ago, I vowed to well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I was about to enter. In carrying out that responsibility, I am guided by, among other things, the Principles of Federal Prosecution set forth in the Justice Manual and your recent memoranda instructing attorneys for the Department of Justice to make only good-faith arguments and not to use the criminal enforcement authority of the United States to achieve political objectives or other improper aims. I am also guided by the values that have defined my over ten years of public service. You and I have yet to meet, let alone discuss this case. But as you may know, I clerked for the Honorable J. Harvie Wilkinson III on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and for Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. Both men instilled in me a sense of duty to contribute to the public good and uphold the rule of law, and a commitment to reasoned and thorough analysis. I have always considered it my o…

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com:

"Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

I think you misspelled"pathetic". On a day with the Sassoon resignation letter hitting, a competent party has other things to message

Yes, yes indeed!

Hope you feel better soon! But classic Benjamin Bratt will definitely help 😉

It's so much worse. Please read and get the news out about the resignation letter: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

There is so much here

And her resignation letter is a huge deal: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

A legitimate ray of hope. While I disagree with Sassoon on many things, this letter and her subsequent conduct are a master class in legal writing and integrity.

DoJ will find it very difficult to dismiss the Adams case. I hope NY will bring their own charges

No argument that the work is crap, but does anyone think it'll make a difference? The 5th circuit will uphold an order in crayon if it comes from the GOP, and several other circuits aren't far behind in their unbridled republican fealty. And need we mention the Supremes?

People with eyes: "Elon Musk make a Nazi salute."

Historians who have studied the rise of fascism: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute."

Mainstream Media: "Elon Musk made a heartfelt gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute."

Elon Musk’s ‘Odd-Looking’ Salute Stuns CNN Anchors A hand gesture from the billionaire Trump ally drew questions.

Every "odd gesture" www.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...), just "gesture" (www.bbc.com/news/videos/...), "awkward", @ADL, or "hand gesture" (reuters, www.msn.com/en-us/news/t...) or the sudden jump to talk about the media controversy instead of the underlying salute (Fox, etc). Plenty more out there.

Aided happily by a completely servile and spineless media. They cannot jump fast enough to obey and assist in obfuscating and denying the obvious.

If only there were a group of people, maybe a political party, that could actually do something. But now we will never know since the only thing the Democratic Party is debating is how fast to capitulate.

The only questions it drew is if spinless incompetent terrified hacks could identify the thing staring them in the face. Twice.

Surprise: no, no they cannot.

Lol if you don't meet the bar for fine, no one can

homophobic asshole Anita Bryant is dead

rot in hell, see you next tuesday

Strange how quickly the narrative changed.
Nothing he promised during the campaign, is really the central focus anymore.

Nice to have the extra time but trials still are a lot of fun (when you’re counsel ofc, not the client). So hard to get civil trial experience these days.

Flawless and undoubtedly delicious 🍑

Well deserved! You’re a delight and your streams are a ton of fun 💯

Unfortunately those words are “good luck and god bless during your next term as president”

Absolutely stunning. Great work!

Done With Meta? Here's How to Delete Your Facebook Once and for All Facebook is about become a whole lot more like Twitter. And that might be a bad thing.

It’s time. Meta has gone full MAGA.

Time to shut down Facebook/Instagram and move over here completely. Thankfully this is just personal, but I do feel for those that feel stuck as those platforms continue down the path to complete misinformation and propaganda.
