Indeed. The Right Reverend Mariann Budde, Bishop of Washington (Episcopal).

We shall see.
Much about the Comey and James indictments is unusual.

Suspect the malicious-prosecution MTD will cite it though.

But see Justice Manual 9-11.233 - Presentation of Exculpatory Evidence

”when a prosecutor conducting a grand jury inquiry is personally aware of substantial evidence that directly negates the guilt of a subject of the investigation, the prosecutor must present or otherwise disclose such evidence”

Is there a limitations problem here as well?

Let’s not construct a conspiracy of silence around Halligan.

It’s DOJ policy.

Query how much EXculpatory evidence Halligan presented to the grand jury?

POTUS needs moral support tomorrow from DOJ because there’s bad news incoming from Oslo and Stockholm.

They know he needs reassurance today.
Because no Nobel tomorrow.

Correction: Friday. But point still valid.

Memorandum from the White House Physician

His “annual“ visit to Walter Reed was on April 11.
Is the one “annual” and the other “yearly”? Is that how they‘re trying to … mask this?

Is all this happening because the Nobel Peace Prize is announced tomorrow?

Make it look like a parade.

American otherwise. I’ve only heard “keep schtum“ from Brits.
Would be interesting to know whether it goes back, in the UK, to WW2?
Has a “loose lips sink ships” feel to it.

Most pundits, reporters, and nonprofit employees have employer-sponsored health plans and are not eligible for either Medicare or Medicaid. So these issues rarely matter to them directly. Leading to, as you say, shallow takes.

This point--intent of POTUS--was the most interesting part.
How often do federal judges accuse POTUS of bad faith?
Is that conclusion comport with the notion of CJ Roberts that presidential state of mind cannot be inquired into?
Or does his notion apply only to criminal cases against POTUS?

We are about to find out whether Kavanaugh's opinion was, in effect, a test that this Administration not only failed, but apparently didn't even notice.
To be clear, I am no fan of Kavanaugh; I filed a judicial-ethics complaint against him.
I'm suggesting what _might_ be going on.
Or so one hopes.

...because Kavanugh set a _very low_ bar. And was naive in thinking this Administration would heed his rule.
But Kavanaugh is now in a position to say, I told you where my line is and you didn't even try to stay on the right side of it.
Whether that's where he intended to be is another Q. 2/3

The thing about that Kavanaugh opinion is that one can read it on two levels--normative or positive.
If it was positive, then it was laughable and obviously naive. And, quite possible, rather racist.
But was it normative--this is the way, Executive, it _ought_ to be done?
Still bad...

you mean the ban on denial for pre-existing conditions?

Many leftish types don’t depend on the ACA. Therefore…

Probably the same consultants who thought that insurers would begin sending out notices of higher ACA premiums this week.

A lot of people on Medicaid do not realize this fact because the state program they are on has a different name.

How much makeup were Trump and Hegseth wearing during their speeches?

Not clear that Anonymous is an American, given date format.
