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"?

The Supreme Court may have put a dent in announced plans of Democratic politicians to arrest ICE officers and unleash sweeping prosecutions once they retake power. The Court just reversed the Second Circuit, holding that a Vermont officer had immunity in a protester's injury...
...In Zorn v. Linton, the Court voted 6-3 that officers are generally shielded from civil liability unless prior case law put the unlawfulness of an action "beyond debate." While a civil case, the Court has shown the same deference in criminal cases...
...The expectation is that civil and criminal cases will be filed against ICE and other federal law enforcement officers. Indeed, some politicians have insisted on barring masks to facilitate such lawsuits or prosecutions.

For a No Kings guy, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey sure seems to have a royal problem. Frey claimed on MS NOW that President Donald Trump could simply hire more TSA agents rather than deploy ICE officers. Yet, that would be done without congressional approval and appropriations...
...The MS NOW host did not correct the disinformation. It is telling that Democrats are opposing the effort to relieve the congestion at airports. Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) appeared to welcome the chaos and "pain" caused to citizens at the airports as leverage for a deal...
...Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries went as far as to predict that ICE officers may "brutalize or in some instances, kill" people at airports...

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul is asking "high net worth" taxpayers to "go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home" "to support the generous social programs we have in our state." There is another novel approach: change your policies to make people want to come back...
...The reason they are done in Florida is that the state has maintained low taxes as well as high-performing schools and services. Rather than put your hopes on peer pressure, try good policies and see what happens...
...New York Democrats are only the latest example of reaching the point where "you run out of other people's money." Yet, in New York, socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is demanding tax hikes and a $30 minimum wage. jonathanturley.org/2026/02/19/mam…

Judge James Boasberg has another controversial decision in throwing out a duly issued grand jury subpoena of Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Boasberg declared that “There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas’ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell."...
...I have been skeptical of the basis and motivation of the criminal investigation into Powell. However, Boasberg could face serious appellate questions over his basis to toss out a valid subpoena based entirely on his view of the underlying criminal investigation...
...This is not something that courts can take judicial notice over the lack of criminal conduct. The subpoena is part of an investigation into such conduct. This is a very rare such order at this stage in an investigation and could raise difficult appellate issues.

The Judicial Conference has released a new policy that could materially alter the character of the federal courts, allowing judges to comment on what they deem “illegitimate forms of criticism and attacks.” It is not just injudicious, it is dangerous... jonathanturley.org/2026/02/18/rul…
...The added freedom afforded to judges to engage in commentary will do little to change the debate. It may, however, greatly erode the trust in what was once considered “our least dangerous branch.”
...Given increasingly injudicious comments, one would think that Chief Justice John Roberts and the Judicial Conference would seek to tighten, not loosen, the limits on judicial commentary. I am not suggesting that these past statements would be viewed as acceptable under the new rules. However, I fail to understand, in light of such controversial statements, the Conference elected to relax the rules at this time.

The Clintons are again suggesting that they might not agree to a deposition after previously yielding to the threat of a contempt vote. Today, Bill Clinton declared on X that "I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court"...jonathanturley.org/2026/01/14/now…
...Clinton is not being asked to "sit idly by" but to sit for a deposition like other citizens. His posting suggests that he is again opposed to compliance after a bipartisan vote was again delayed by the earlier concession...
...The reason for these depositions is that they can gain greater depth in questioning. This is vintage Clinton in delaying and evading accountability. For decades, they have gamed the system with such tactics...
