1. Maybe, historically he's been a piece of shit.

But it looks like he’s OrangeAnus this time.

2. Well we knew there must have been some reason Trump picked him

3. That thread! It's exactly what I have been thinking all along! Especially this:

Legalese blather is meant to lull you into thinking "Oh well there's a way these things are handled." No. This is treason. The way you handle treason is you stop the treason. There is a threat to our safety. The way you respond is with urgency. Or your country gets destroyed.

And though Deary seems to have done the right thing in the opening salvo, I am not relaxing about him yet.

He and Rudy were doing mob prosecutions at the same time in the same place. To do mob prosecutions, you have to befriend some mobsters to get others.

This is a network. It's been in place for decades. We don't see it but we see its results. For example, Bragg throwing out a case that the experts preparing it thought was water-tight. That was bullshit. We all know it in our hearts. Regardless of those here who insist, "Oh well there's a way these things are handled."

But thanks for posting this. It makes me feel less crazy.

"What is at the core of this is a five-alarm fire. Do not let the fancy legal talk fool anybody. Trump should be in handcuffs. Everyone who touched these documents should be investigated. But the criminals involved are all still wearing dainty gloves and sipping tea."

"US political life feels like a Hieronymus Bosch painting on CSPAN. This mixture of the dullest bureaucracy with the purest, coldest evil. It is absolutely bizarre."

"The news is like a soap opera. You can check out, come back, and the plots are all insane, but insane in a way in which nothing really happens...There are still stolen classified docs and the guy who stole them is having fascist rallies."

"The plots have no surprises, but pundits pretend they do. The Trump-appointed judge has of course ruled in favor of Trump, which 'legal experts' said could not happen. But of course that's what happened, because the key move of an aspiring autocrat is to hijack the judiciary."

@sarahkendzior
Some questions that should be asked: What did Trump do with the docs? Why did he steal them? Who else saw them? What else did Trump steal? When did he steal it? Is any of it digital? How has it affected international relations? How has it affected US national security? Etc...

5. I watched episode 1 of Rings of Power last night

Galadriel is indefatigable in her pursuit of the root of evil.

I admire the same quality in Ms. Kendzior and, for that matter, General James, Fani Willis, Dana Nessel and many other strong women. Thanks for posting the thread.
