“Donald Trump is a sociopath. Donald Trump is evil. Donald Trump is trying to destroy democracy because he only thinks of himself. These things are all inescapably true”

Takeaways from Lindsey Halligan’s disqualification and dismissal of the James Comey and Letitia James cases | CNN Politics The pervading picture of Trump’s retribution campaign has been that he just wants his foes indicted, and he doesn’t really care how or what for.

A federal judge has dismissed the prosecutions that President Donald Trump orchestrated against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James – a major early setback to his retribution campaign against his political foes. | Analysis

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.

I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Meanwhile on X...

Well for starters, this can't be an official statement. There is no "Department of War." Its official title remains the Department of Defense. But of course Hegseth is such a dimwitted infused with alcohol suck-up Renfield that he does stuff like this to please his master.

We’re Led by an Administration of Liars Trump insisted Comey be prosecuted for supposedly lying to Congress—but his own administration is full of officials who lied to Congress.

Lying under oath? Seriously? The case against Comey is as hypocritical as it is weak and incompetent. From Trump on down, this is an administration people who got their jobs by misleading and outright lying to Congress. My latest at @thebulwark.com

I absolutely love that the Tish James and James Comey news dropped minutes before Trump is supposed to roll out his latest “healthcare plan,” which just like the last 87 versions doesn’t exist. Perfect timing. Nothing exposes a scam like actual accountability happening somewhere else.

If anything, this seems to validate the ad that we’ve been hearing about all day from members of Congress who served in the military

Trump administration ordered to halt ‘unlawful’ Guard deployment in D.C. A judge granted an injunction in D.C.’s lawsuit against Trump’s National Guard deployment, but it won’t take effect for 21 days so that the government can appeal.

“A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its National Guard deployment to Washington while a lawsuit over the matter plays out in court… writing that the administration has ‘exceeded the bounds of [its] statutory authority.’” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

The Crypto Industry’s $28 Billion in ‘Dirty Money’

The scope of dirty money (terrorists, criminals, sex predators) moving through crypto exchanges is dizzying. And as this article describes, Binance - the company at the heart of Trump's crypto corruption - continues to be one of the worst offenders.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This is excellent. This is the kind of guidance needed in the face of a lawless regime.

Trump: "I gave them as you know unlimited water, Biden came back with a rigged election, and he immediately restricted the water again. But I came back in and immediately unrestricted it again. So now you have unlimited water to clean your damn dishes."

"Sir" alert.

They've believed way bigger lies. They'll believe this lie.

The Court recognizes that the relief sought by the defense is rarely granted. However, the record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding. Therefore, in this case, “the Court has before it a rare example of a criminal defendant who can actually make a ‘particularized and factually based’ showing that grounds exist to support the proposition that irregularities may have occurred in the grand jury proceedings and may justify the dismissal of one or more counts of the indictment.” See Naegele, 474 F. Supp. 2d at 10 (citations omitted). Accordingly, the defense request for all grand jury materials is granted.

A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record.
