The Hall of Fire

Edited further to add Charlie Savage's reminder that this might be among the documents that Trump actually returned to the government. I have read that there is a document that Trump's attorney's described that was among those returned to NARA in January 2022 that seems to match the description of ...

Here's the new one.

We never give up on friendship.

From the Guardian article: A Trump spokesperson said in a statement: “Leaks from radical partisans behind this political persecution are designed to inflame tensions and continue the media’s harassment of President Trump and his supporters. It’s just more proof that when it comes to President Trump,...

Not only has Martin testified, she also provided a copy of the hard drive of her computer. With all those recordings.

Does anyone else find it odd that so much info is leaking regarding the classified documents case but (if memory serves) the only thing we've heard recently about 1/6 is that Pence was interviewed?

Because we are a nation of laws and one of those laws is that probable cause that evidence of a crime is likely to be found in a particular location is needed to obtain a search warrant...

I'm pretty sure that there is some procedural reason why the Democrats on the Rules committee voted no, though I could be wrong about that. I'm not even sure who the Democratic members of that committee are (or why there are so few).

Setting aside Cicciline, who I don't think that Griffin is taking into account, I think his thinking is that it would be 221-213, and that therefore only four seats would need to be flipped to make the House an even split. Which doesn't really make much sense, but that is the only explanation that I...

Also this.

Funny how things work out. The Paxton story was only vaguely connected to this thread. But ...

Gollum to Sméagol: "Let’s be good, good as fish, sweet one, but to ourselfs."
