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"?

In the longest legal case of sustained comatose life, the case of Fani Willis was finally put to rest today when the formal declination of Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia. ...apnews.com/live/trump-new…
...As expected, once a competent prosecutor without a political agenda reviewed the case, it collapsed. Some of us have ridiculed the racketeering case as legal and factually incomprehensible...
...Willis spent millions on a case that was ultimately derailed by her own unethical conduct in hiring her former lover as prosecutor. She was lionized by the media and liberal pundits for her use of lawfare and ultimately reelected despite her ruinous handling of the prosecution
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) actually attacked EPA head Lee Zeldin for receiving money from one “Jeffrey Epstein"-- the problem was that it was a different Jeffrey Epstein, a NY doctor...

Hunter Biden appears intent on showing that rage can be as addictive as drugs. In his latest profane tirade, Biden viciously attacked journalist Miranda Devine as "horrendously ugly" and a "whore" for exposing his influence peddling and corruption...
...I have previously noted how Devine and her colleagues defied virtually all of the establishment media in doggedly pursuing the laptop story. There will be no Pulitzer for them, of course. That went to the Times and the Post for the debunked Russiagate story...
...Of course, Hunter would likely be serving time now for the information confirmed by Devine and her colleagues on the laptop, except for his father breaking his word and giving him a pardon...
The acquittal of former Justice Department employee Sean Dunn today seems more like the result of jury nullification than deliberation. Dunn did not deny throwing his sandwich and hitting an officer in the misdemeanor case. ... foxnews.com/us/ex-doj-work…
...His counsel argued that it was all just free speech: "It was a harmless gesture at the end of him exercising his right to speak out." So now citizens can pummel officers with objects as an "exclamation point"?...
...The message will not only be heard by citizens in Washington but officers that in the District jurors will treat violence as free expression. This was not a serious assault, but it was worthy of a misdemeanor in my view...
Solicitor General John Sauer just began the Administration's argument on the Trump tariffs...
