Pretty much everyone supporting impeachment has addressed this at length. Here’s an example: lawfareblog.com/should-house-i…
Important to remember that @NateSilver538 is perfectly capable of learning that he’s wrong. He just prefers to operate in bad faith.
Here’s another example. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

The commentariat loves to keep saying this presumably because they’ve heard it smarmy pundit friends say it, but it’s still completely false.

Businesspeople in New York are prosecuted for cooking their books in exactly this way all the fucking time.

A couple months ago I did a radio interview for The Truce and the conservative host asked me whether the (then upcoming) Trump trial would lead to people no longer doing business in New York, and I tried to be accommodating and say maybe some die-hard Trump Republicans you know..
But he pressed the point and demanded I take politics out of it. And I told him that these are very common cases and every NY lawyer like me will advise someone setting up a business that they should respect the formalities of its separate existence, keep accurate books, etc.

After propublica’s work, Harlan Crow appears quite prominently on Justice Thomas’s latest disclosure form. documentcloud.org/documents/2393…

Thomas attributes some of his private jet use to the leak of the Dobbs opinion. Image
A real dog ate my homework excuse for failing to report the sale of the house his mother lives in to Harlan Crow. Image

It appears the Special Counsel’s office filed under seal its support for a Garcia hearing to evaluate Walt Nauta’s lawyer’s alleged conflicts, and Judge Cannon has decided to have it out in public.
The issue is that discussing Stanley Woodward’s representation of three potential witnesses in the secret documents case would reveal the fact of their grand jury testimony. Cannon has decided in a conclusory line that isn’t reason enough, but it’s not clear why she thinks so.
It’s also kinda weird to strike not only the proposed sealed supplement but also the motion for leave to file under seal from the docket. Cannon has denied that motion, which presumably might be an appealable issue, but then excised what she denied from the record. Strange.

The interesting thing about this order imo is judge chutkan deciding the battle of the forms in the govt’s favor.
By popular request, I will try to explain. According to the govt’s motion, they proposed a protective order, Trump responded with an entirely different form, and then the govt came back with a form based on a case before Judge Nichols.

Transactional lawyers like myself call this the battle of the forms. You just keep sending each other different templates for an agreement, and consequently you delay the work of marking up the other side’s language and isolating the substantive issues between you.

The third indictment of Donald J. Trump — this one for trying to steal the government of the United States. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
A fascinating and artful third paragraph. Image
And a fourth paragraph that summarizes the government’s three-pronged case. Image

What I find lamentable about DeSantis’s curriculum is the strong echo of antebellum pro-slavery ideology it contains, apportioning credit to the slaveholders and the slave system for supposedly improving enslaved people. I’ll explain.
The chattel slavery practiced in the southern states and the colonies before them was a hideously cruel cradle-to-grave form to bondage. The contemporaneous pro-slavery ideology held that slaveholders were civilizing and improving a savage race from a state of pagan incivility.
The historical record reveals this pro-slavery ideology to be nonsense. Enslaved peoples were the bearers of their own traditions and evidently resourceful and innovative without the intervention of the enslavers, and often to their great frustration.
