Before completing his testimony, Comey was asked if he regretted his various public statements dismissing allegations that have now been proved correct, particularly after he now admitted that he would not have signed the Page application . . .
...He was specifically asked about his column in 2019 on "Lie and Dumb Lies." He said that he does not know of anything in the column that he would change...
...How about? "But go ahead, investigate the investigators, if you must. When those investigations are over, you will find the work was done appropriately and focused only on discerning the truth of very serious allegations...Those are lies, and dumb lies at that."...
...Comey just admitted that the work was not "done appropriately." McCabe, Strzok, and other were fired. One is criminally charged.Russian disinformation may been fed to the FBI. The FISA court denounced the FBI's conduct. But Comey would still call this all "lies and dumb lies"?

President Biden is citing a series of cases with which he disagrees as the basis for seeking to fundamentally change the Court. The message is clear. If the Court ruled as he demanded, it would not have to be changed...
...Biden states that we need to chance the court with "regularity". He appears to be saying that this would be done legislatively. Then why not 8 years or 2 years instead of 18 years? If Congress has that authority, it could the occupants faster than a South Beach time share...
...Biden is citing President Johnson who pushed to change the law (and the Court) without seeking to fundamentally change the institution itself...

The decision of Joe Biden to withdraw from his reelection bid raises the obvious question of how he can continue as president if he is incapable of running for that office. The Democratic Party seems to have created its own 25th Amendment, but ...
...there remains the "other" 25th Amendment. This is a type of 25th-lite option where you lack capacity to run but not to serve for an office...
...It also focuses attention on the efforts of Democrats to drop any challengers or hold any debates through the primary as millions voted for Biden. Holding a party "primary" in a matter of weeks is hardly a substitute for a primary campaign to expose candidates to prolonged scrutiny...jonathanturley.org/2023/12/04/bal…

The conviction of Sen. Menendez in Washington is monumental. He was one of the untouchables. Despite long being viewed as corrupt, Menendez wielded power with abandon for his own benefit...
...The problem was the defense theory. Menendez tried to convince the jury that this was a "Cuban thing." They clearly viewed it as a "corruption thing"...
...The images of gold bars and cash stuffed in clothes is difficult to overcome with a cultural claim. Yet, this conviction is an indictment of the Washington establishment. Menendez was always viewed as a corrupt figure but he was still given powerful positions that he used for corrupt purposes...

The dismissal of the classified documents case is a seismic development. From the beginning of all of these cases, I have said that the Mar-a-Lago case was the greatest threat to the former president. It is now dismissed.
...This was the three-point shot for Trump. The easier basket was the D.C. case despite a far more favorable judge for Jack Smith. That case is inundated with presumptively privileged evidence and challenged charges...
...Judge Cannon's decision mirrors the views of many leading lawyers who see the same constitutional flaw that led Justice Clarence Thomas to expressly raise his issue in his recent opinion...

President Biden just referred to "former Trump" but said that he is doing well...
...The address hit the right tone to bring the temperature of the country down. It was the right message at the right time...
...It was a very different feel (and lighting) from his Philadelphia speech (which he referenced just a few days ago). The public saw that speech as spreading division. jonathanturley.org/2022/09/08/a-d…

Karine Jean-Pierre has the makings of a full riot in the press room as she tries to explain misleading past statements...
...KJP is continuing to read the same two lines over and over again rather than answer if the reports are true that Parkinson's specialists have been consulted with repeatedly...
...KJP doubled down on saying no to any cognitive testing...
