I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory. Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

Hard to overstate what censorious bullshit this is. CBS would have 1A protection even if it had edited the interview in a "biased" way. But there was nothing biased or misleading about it. This is about intimidation -- and forcing future compliance with Trump's demands. RE:

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up. [JD Vance and his forty 4x4s vi...](

A New Mexico judge and his wife have also been arrested, for allegedly hiding a TdA gang member in their home. Given recent history, it’s probably best to take the “hiding” and “gang member” allegations with a fistful of salt. [www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...](

16 years ago, I reported on a video in which a forensic charlatan used the dental mold of a suspect to fabricate bite marks on the corpse of a young girl. It took way too long, but this week a Louisiana court finally overturned Jimmie Duncan’s conviction and death sentence. [Forensics Fraud?](

Bongino has demanded a 20-man security detail to guard him 24 hours per day, including when he’s inside the FBI building. I can think of lots of explanations for that. None are flattering, and none suggest a hypermasculine lead-by-example guy beloved by the rank and file. RE:
