He testified. That is why we know the contents were dictated to him.

The guy who dictated the contents of that declaration, but avoided signing it himself, should be called into court to explain why he provided what appears to be false information to the court.

House committee unlikely to interview Ghislaine Maxwell after her lawyer said she wouldn't answer questions House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said it would be a waste of taxpayer dollars to send staff to Texas after her lawyers said she would not answer questions.

Looks like “Club Fed” Ghislaine Maxwell knew her visit by Trump lawyer/“DAG” Todd Blanche was going to be a “softie interview,” never asserting Fifth Amendment rights she now asserts faced with House questioning.

Hassett is an extremely consistent liar. Which means we in New York should be very concerned.

Reality check. It is Trump and the Republicans who use President Biden as a diversion from their years of failure and kleptocracy, which are culminating right now. Democrats will not succeed by aiding Trumpers in that project.

As Trump’s Inquisitors Face Scrutiny, a Divisive Figure Could Play a New Role

Trumpers are looking to their favorite TrumpLaw Judge to aid their plans for Stalinist show trials. As recent events demonstrate, Trump's retribution cases can't survive without the help of a judge fully committed to lawlessness.

Ukrainians are so darn ungrateful for my efforts to steal their resources and my cronies' scheme to get paid to help Russia dismantle their country.

Marge Greene is very mavericky, kinda like Sarah Palin, with more Nazism.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Calls Ukraine Ungrateful as U.S. Officials Push for Peace Deal

Zelensky and his country will not say "Thank you sir, may I have another?" to the demented and failing Putin stooge in the White House, and Trump is fulminating.

No, Biden was not "like" Trump in a y way shape or form, Senator Slotkin, including and especially in his prudent and effective economic policies, which Trump has upended.

I agree there is reason to believe AOC, clearly a very smart, goal oriented politician, has learned a lot from observing and working with politicians who succeed - like Pelosi - and those who fail or tread water. We shall see. 3/

Sanders' relatively rare successes as a legislator (mostly during the Biden admin) occurred when he followed that model (same when he worked productively to get Biden elected). 2/

Pelosi's success was grounded on her (i) singular focus on winning elections by funding, recruiting and getting Democrats elected, regardless of ideology; and (ii) relentlessly pragmatic (and effective) work in getting legislation passed, and making tough compromises to do so (see the ACA) 1/

Cassidy want to move on from his key role in facilitating the destruction of the nation's public health infrastructure to a discussion of his efforts to vandalize Americans' health care coverage.

Cassidy finds polio, measles and other preventable childhood diseases tittilating. Maybe this guy should not be a medical doctor.

Reagan said: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."
Trumpers say: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow quack, conspiracy theorist or Russian agent."

As The Donald would say: Russia, Russia, Russia!

YouTube video by Times Radio Trump’s peace plan was written by the Russians | Sir Bill Browder

Bill Browder explains that the "Trump" "peace plan" was - literally - originally written in Russian, and then translated.
Accordingly, unless Trump has replaced State Department foreign service professionals with Russian FSB officers (a distinct possibility), it is not a US plan.

Trump says Zelensky can agree to peace plan or ‘fight his little heart out’ President Trump on Saturday heaped pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky, as he pushed Ukraine’s leaders to agree to a 28-point plan to help bring an end to the war.

Trump doesn't hold the cards to extort a surrender from Ukraine on behalf of Vlad, and he's frustrated about it.

Trumpers are trying to escape a debacle, by emphatically arguing that Trump is such a complete Putin stooge that he didn't need Putin's help to author a "plan" comprised of everything Putin wants.

Greene’s Exit Deals a Blow to G.O.P., Putting Rifts on Display

Discord grows among the motley crew of bigots and xenophobes that constitute Trump's base, as they demand that he remain true to their common fascist principles.

"US" here means "Putin fellow travelers."

Give America a New Deal Again

‘Fascist’? ‘Communist’? For an Afternoon, They Were Just 2 Guys From Queens.

Actually, of the two, only Trump is from Queens, but he fled there, long ago, wanting people to think of him as member of the Manhattan elite.
Mamdani, on the other hand, grew up in Manhattan, and moved to Queens to build his meteoric political rise from the outer borough.

Especially the lawyers involved.

They all better lawyer up in the next year and preserve their records.

To be fair, Nuzzi has been a far more successful monetizer.

Clayton has been desperately trying to get this job - which he is not qualified for - since the first Trump Regime. The question is, Why?

Manhattan US attorney gets first big test ahead of Epstein files drop Prosecutors in the office are wary of the directive given to Jay Clayton.

Trump installed this "respected" lawyer in the SDNY for one reason: To be a stooge when Trump most needs a stooge.
Now Trump's in need.
