As we await AG Merrick Garland and his statement, a senior WH official tells me the Biden WH was not informed this was happening:
“We have had no notice that he was giving remarks and no briefing on the content of them.”

Media probably swarming the Press Secretary, like, “What’s Garland going to say?” and Karine responding, “How the fuck should I know? That’s not our department.” And the media just scratching their heads, like, “Didn’t Biden order him to give remarks?”

This is one way to destroy stereotypes. Not the best way, of course.

An OnlyFans model, accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death in Miami on April 3, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with murder, her lawyer confirmed to Yahoo News.

This is rank speculation, but when DOJ announces a press conference for a particular time and then is late getting going, it can mean they want something to be unsealed before they talk about it and it is taking longer than they anticipated for the court to do it.

The backup lie that Trump never got a copy and DOJ kept it secret is now untenable, as DOJ filed a motion to release it.

You know who wrote the law that Trump signed, the one that increased the penalty for retaining classified documents from a 1-year misdemeanor to a 5-year felony?

Devin Nunes. Devin fucking Nunes!

re: #128 Dangerman

the consensus i’m seeing:

They are likely to regret stirring this up.

i say well played

——

further (ianal) as i understand it,
tfg can agree to the unsealing

he cant merely object to the unsealing and that’s that.
if he does object, then there are arguments.
a judge decides.

I’ve always maintained the worst mistake Trump ever made was running for and being elected President of the US.

US presidents don’t swim with sharks, they swim with orcas.

And the US electing DJ Trump is the worst mistake we’ve made in recent US history.

More like tossing water on a duck. The information just rolls off.
We naturally tune out information that isn’t congruent with what we believe, and they believe so many things that are not true.

Republicans have been the party of Lies a lot longer than that. I think you have to go all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt’s GOP to find a political party that just has the normal level of compromise and dishonesty to be expected in any major party.

That reminds me of a good line from Evita:

Eva Peron (about her European tour): “They actually called me a whore!”

Italian Admiral (sounding extremely old from his voice): “But Signora Peron, it’s an easy mistake. I’m still called an Admiral, yet I left the sea long ago.”
