Brace Yourself for … Full. Blown. Panic. The president is feeling cornered and lashing out. It will get ugly—and dangerous.

The craziest thing about Trump’s slowly weakening grip over Republicans in Congress isn’t that it’s happening. It’s that some Republicans are even starting to say it’s happening, right out loud.

Duh. And in other news water is wet; if only this sitting US Senator would have had a means to keep this from happening.....

This is in the Constitution for a reason:

How to lobby Trump with Swiss precision: gifts, gold and gab How the Swiss broke a diplomatic logjam on tariffs by arriving with tributes fit for a king.

They don't even try to hide the corruption anymore: The Swiss sent a delegation of industry tycoons bearing gifts — a special Rolex desktop clock, a 1-kilogram personalized gold bar - tariffs were cut soon after…

The government’s position is that disclosure of grand jury materials is not warranted under the facts presented to the Magistrate Judge. Indeed, the government believes the Magistrate Judge may have misinterpreted some facts he found when issuing the latest order to release the grand jury materials to the defendant. For instance, whether the defendant has any standing to challenge the Richman materials, the full context of the statements made by the prosecutor to the grand jury, that Agent-3 was exposed to potentially privileged material, and that two indictments were presented to the grand jury. Additionally, the Magistrate Judge acknowledges he “did not immediately recognize any overtly privileged communications.” Dkt. No. 192 at 14. The possible exposure of privileged materials to the grand jury was the primary focus of the Magistrate Judge’s inquiry. Having seemingly settled that issue, the Magistrate Judge turns to premature issues such as suppression that have not even been briefed by the parties.

Whatever Trump and Epstein did with those girls is fair game, as long as they told them that Santa Claus is white.

by Megyn Kelly

Folks, I don't think the lawyers can make anymore sense of this.
But what APPEARS to have happened is:

1) They no-billed one count.
2) SOMEONE IN THE GOVT LEARNED THAT.
3) They put together a 2-count indictment and, w/o re-presenting the case, got them to vote for those.

The whole thing is cooked.

DHS calls for defending American culture. That leaves some Latinos rattled DHS's social media campaign promises to defend American identity and culture from an invasion. For many Latinos, it's a message that does not sit well.

Sounds about 'white' for this maga-nazi regime.

Appeals Court Upholds Federal Judge’s Temporary Order Blocking National Guard Deployment in Chicago Area A three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s request to allow the president to immediately deploy National Guard troops into Chicago.

THANK YOU IL!!! They successfully got the invasion’s stopped, and not just from the IL National Guard, but ALL of them. Because the govt was just going to send in another state’s troops if they blocked just IL.
