DOJ wants to dismiss the indictment of Tom Barrack's handler (a senior UAE spook, I think), leftover from 2021. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreidwcda6belhl5fjnwck6iy5h3opmwv4qj7r2csnsurlnkgnd6dali

I increasingly think this 11th C opinion upholding decision throwing out Trump lawsuit is a BFD. That's bc Chief Judge William Pryor and Trump appointee Andrew Brasher said much of what Trump wants to charge as CRIMINAL conspiracy is not one. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreiar4kwvp3tvrndmcjr5g6ywdvdi6yrpzed6aba7qntfgyk3tgybdi

I've said since Trump picked on Mahmoud Khalil that he was picking his political martyrs poorly. But this one... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreifpnjqcmqjimkzkf2tficpewck7qhbpjzdwbwwbwh3bj2nyvayl4i

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive. So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot. It's that Bondi is too.

I guess Lindsey can go back to whitewashing (literally) slavery at the Smithsonian now.

It's unclear how many times Marco Rubio can do this--hastily convene all of Europe to present a counteroffer that Russia will inevitably refuse, only to have the Russians throw a few more bribes onto the funeral pyre of the Western order and with those bribes rope in a few more venal Trump flunkies.
