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

Corruption after corruption.

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.

Mushroom Chode would have been a good code name.

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

Opalescent Riddles's avatar

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

rick prose's avatar

actually, "plasmic echo" was galactic cum scallion's first album, so it all fits, man.

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.

LoCoJo's avatar

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?

Ho͛gͦͥeͬ͒yeGr̰̻̜e̬̞̠x͔'s avatar

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.

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.

CambridgeKnitter's avatar

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.

CambridgeKnitter's avatar

I thought even Opus Dei denied all association with Bill Barr.

"M"'s avatar

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.

I thought Opus Dei ran those?

LoCoJo's avatar

Of fucking course he is. What a stupid turd.

Even a person of normal emotional stability would probably be driven nuts by the pressure TFG is under at the moment. Narcissism is a powerful shield against reality, I guess.

Sociopathic too..it combines callousness with a penchant for reckless behaviour.

Joe Christmas's avatar

Two things with the orange fuckface: He should have been jailed in the '80's and second he literally thrives on chaos.

Ho͛gͦͥeͬ͒yeGr̰̻̜e̬̞̠x͔'s avatar

Bribing a US Attorney to spike a federal investigation into you so you can get a casino license is a pretty serious crime. Damn right he should have been locked up in the 80s. And now look where we are.

Wait a moment? I'm going to guess you're not talking about Jeffrey Clark.

Which one was this?

"M"'s avatar

😮😮😮

WoOW.

I don't think even Sarah Kendzior or Craig Unger had time to write about this.

Wow.

And - I was young for this the way the "I was too young for Nixon" dude is who says he's obsessed w/the Trump trial now; it's bothering his wife - but I remember literally nothing about this growing up in a house where I was taught to read the papers (plural!) of record.

Nothing in the Globe. Nothing in WaPo. Of course, nothing in the NYT.

I need to go sit down for a minute.

He prosecuted the Italian mob… to clear the way for the Russian mob. The corrupt piece of shit. His, and Trump’s, ties to Russia predate even Putin.
