Iโ€™m from a family of veterans. My dad was a Navy veteran. Both my grandfathers and many of my uncles served. Our state is home to almost 500,000 veterans who exemplify the best of our state.

Thank you for your service.

The fixed last page of the no-billed indictment in Jim Comey case. It shows Count Three, Page ID#28.

Totally random point but still weird. A reader noted that sometime after it was originally posted, someone fixed the last page of the no-bill indictment in the Jim Comey case. Right is the fixed version (note different page id).

Just as I predicted.

We just had our first snow. Soon there wonโ€™t be any lawn work, so there wonโ€™t be Latino men doing low-wage work standing outside that they can find by chopper & drone & direct Border Patrol from the air to the right house to kidnap men for gardening while brown.

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16 does not require the Government to produce
vindictive/selective prosecution-related evidence before a defendant files such a motion. The Rule
permits a defendant to discover evidence material to her defense, FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(C), but
โ€œdefenseโ€ means the โ€œdefense against the Governmentโ€™s case in chief, . . . not to the preparation of selective prosecution claims.โ€ Armstrong, 517 U.S. at 462 (citing FED. R. CRIM. P.
16(a)(1)(C))(emphasis added). FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(2) underscores the limitation to โ€œdefenseโ€
as it โ€œexempts from defense inspection โ€˜reports, memoranda, or other internal government
documents made by the attorney for the government or other government agents in connection
with the investigation or prosecution of the case.โ€™โ€ Id. (quoting FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(2)). โ€œIf a
selective-prosecution claim is a โ€˜defense,โ€™ Rule 16(a)(1)(C) gives the defendant the right to
examine Government work product in every prosecution except his own.โ€ Id.

Reminder that ABOUT when this report that Bill Pulte was sniffing in Letitia James' private records, Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer filed motion saying they weren't going to provide reports just like the one that said Bill Pulte was sniffing in her business.

What an inspiring piece. Makes me proud to be a Chicagoan, especially in this challenging time.

A veteran's powerful truth: "Donald Trump is the biggest threat to veterans alive today." We fully agree. He's betrayed their service, slashing earned benefits & dignity. Unacceptable! #VeteransDay

To determine whether another personโ€™s animus can be imputed to a prosecutor, the Court
must analyze the specific facts of the case. The Presidentโ€™s course of conduct against Mr.
Comey makes the case for imputation clearโ€”and the government does not attempt to explain
why the facts of this case do not support imputation. Instead, it cites cases (ECF No. 138 at 20-
22) in which courts rejected efforts to impute the animus of investigators, local prosecutors, or
other individuals with โ€œno control over federal prosecutorsโ€ to the prosecutors who secured the indictments. United States v. Dickerson, 975 F.2d 1245, 1251 (7th Cir. 1992) (declining to
impute alleged animus of FBI agents and state police officers); see United States v. Spears, 159
F.3d 1081, 1087 (7th Cir. 1998) (declining to impute alleged animus of a state prosecutor and
investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms); United States v. Gilbert, 266
F.3d 1180, 1187 (9th Cir. 2001) (declining to impute alleged animus of IRS investigators);
United States v. Cooper, 617 F. Appโ€™x 249, 251 (4th Cir. 2015) (per curiam) (declining to impute
alleged animus of local law enforcement). Those cases are readily distinguishable from this one,
where the animus springs from the head of the Executive Branch who has supervisory authority
over all federal prosecutors and who exercised that power in this case.

Onto Comey's vindictive and selective prosecution argument. This ยถ is super important, bc it gets to how inapt exist precedents on whether related investigators can be source of animus. A president is different.

We were always going to have to agree to end it. Trump doesnโ€™t care at all about starving ppl. Too long then Americans blame dems. We made our point abt healthcare. Now look itโ€™s do it. Next CR is in Jan. Make demands then when Trump canโ€™t hostage take snap & Congress feeling heat abt ACA. Good move

Soon we'll discover whether Trump values Bill Pulte's willingness to frame his adversaries more than he values the counsel of whoever this potty mouth is. (My guess is this is Bessent who THUS FAR has won all the turf wars he has fought, but that could change.)
