If the documents case had drawn any other judge Trump would already be convicted.

Code names are generated by a computer. A study was done and it was found that humans subconsciously used names that had a relation to the mission/objective/case, so they decided to use a computer to generate code names.

Cum and scallion libelz.

Both cum and scallions are far more useful than Trump ever could be. The man is a waste of carbon.

Was it Mike Pence? I'm betting it was Mike Pence. Pence knows how classification works and is persona non grata in the MAGAt party.

Judging by their spinelessness (don't record me G-Man, 'cause the MAGAs will be so mad at me!), and the multiple times they claimed to talk to TFG, I bet it's Qevin McCarthy.

I really love the smell of newly unsealed filings from Jack Smith at pretty much any time of day

I'm sure that the news is giving rise to other smells in the vicinity of Der Fahrtenfuhrer.

Some people said a Keith Emerson and Frankie Goes To Hollywood collaboration was ridiculous but looking back it was pretty brilliant.

Can we please get that judge off the case already? C’mon, Jack. Do it already. She’s given you plenty of ammo, and the 11th Circuit is sick of her shit, too.

How do you solve a problem like Judge Cannon? I mean seriously, can anything be done to make her do her fucking job and do it right?

Yes. Because of the kind of case it is, everything she does is immediately reviewable by the 11th Circuit. They can also punt her from the case. She’s been flirting with that line, but I guess she hasn’t crossed it yet. If I were on the 11th, she’d already be gone.

The Federalists Society member doing her work for her barely saved her from getting kicked off for her weird demand for two sets of jury instructions.

SHannity was about to be up on charges himself when Preet Bharara was in charge of SDNY before Bill Barr and Geoff Berman were installed.

So he was smart enough - and/or desperate enough - to help Donald and Jeff Sessions get Preet Bharara fired ... even after they asked him to leave and Preet was like "No, I'm staying."

So I'm not saying he's smart, but he's got to have *something*.

If this ever gets by "SCOTUS wannabe" Cannon, the orange fuck knuckle would be going to prison for a long time. Even Bill fucking Barr admitted as much.

There was an effort to get his license pulled. The complaint went up in a smoke-filled back room in the back of the DC Bar Association.

The rot runs deep.

Not bar association, DC Bar. I forget who's in charge of law licenses in DC, but it's not a bar association. I'm sorry you hit one of my pet peeves.

Literally that's it exactly.

Bill Barr is also Opus Dei -- and they (Leonard Leo et al) are actually fighting with the Vatican right now because the current Pope doesn't want to do money laundering anymore.

(I was "OJ died" years old before I learned about that, there was an NDA involved; it's a lot.)

You have to have big brass and a lot of bucks to take on the damn Vatican and think you might actually win.

They do that because it's convenient

But if you dig in on Leonard Leo and Bill Barr and Opus Dei 'n' them ... just because they SAY that doesn't mean we have to BELIEVE them.

I mean -- Opus Dei is fighting with the Pope over ending money laundering through the Vatican, and the Pope is the one who's AGAINST it.
