The Internet is raging with conspiracy theories this weekend on how President Donald Trump may be faking his illness or using his Covid-19 treatment for some hidden dark purpose. jonathanturley.org/2020/10/03/tru…
...If we are going to unleash implausible conspiracy theories, at least make them interesting. Something far more sinister could be revealed as Trump emerges from his experimental treatment. No, not viral immunity. I am speaking of super MAGA powers:
...now that is a conspiracy theory. Otherwise, let's stick with the plausible medical and legal realities. This is a serious illness that is being treated by a staff of hundreds of professionals, not co-conspirators. The President is high-risk but they have also moved quickly...
...Perhaps we can take a break from our ragefest and just hope for a quick recovery. We can then resume this blood sport also known as the American presidential election.

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...
Sauer is getting hit hard on tariffs being an Article I power (with Congress) as opposed to an Article II power (with the President). Justices Kagan and Sotomayor are raising the issue...
...Sauer is doing a very able job with prior precedent and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). However, Justice Jackson is pressing on how IEEPA was meant to constrain, not expand, presidential authority...

Halftime is shaping up to be one of the most bruising periods in the next Super Bowl. After the NFL announced that Bad Bunny would do the show, there is a petition in opposition signed by tens of thousands and TPUSA is planning an alternative halftime show to pull away viewers...
...For NBC, a major boycott could freak advertisers who are paying a premium for spots around halftime. It is an interesting boycott tactic to pull away viewers to hit the bottom line for the network. What remains to be seen is whether the controversy will draw or deter viewers.
...The move against the NFL on TPUSA, americanhalftimeshow.com, and online petitions, change.org/p/replace-bad-…. Some are pushing to replace Bad Bunny with George Strait...

Here is the indictment. d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2025/10…
...The indictment recounts numerous alleged incidents of transmitting classified information to third parties as opposed to the removal of actual documents. Notably, Count 6 is described as the revelation of “intelligence concerning a foreign country’s interactions with an adversary; in quotation marks direct statement collected via intelligence source and methods on a foreign country.” This was allegedly Top secret information. It allegedly included foreign intelligence describing an adversary’s planned attack on a facility.”
...Count 9 is described as Av2 “reveals intelligence about future attack by adversarial group in another country.” It is rated at Top Secret/SI. Count 11 “reveals intelligence that a foreign adversary was planning a missile launch in the future.” Others concern covert programs by the U.S...

John Bolton is now reportedly indicted by a Maryland grand jury. The sealed indictment is believed to be based on his possession of classified documents...
...Fox is reporting 18 counts against Bolton.
Obviously, Maryland is a favorable jury pool, and Bolton may be comforted by the assignment of an Obama appointee as the judge. However, those can be superficial takes. Possession and mishandling claims can be viewed by jurors as cut-and-dry questions...

Larry Snelling, Chicago Police Superintendent, just denied the story on the failure of CPD to assist ICE agents. He states that CPD officers were present. However, there are also recordings of CPD orders not to go to the scene. The question is whether there was a delay in one or more of the calls...
...Those orders told officers to "stay put." There is also a recorded message that “Per the chief of patrol: Clear everybody out, we’re not responding over there." This comes down to the timeline. If these officers were told to stay put, the question is why and for how long...
...The calls indicated that federal officers were in peril. The usual response from law enforcement is overwhelming and immediate. Snelling insists that there are multiple calls that are being conflated. That is a fair point, but the question still remains these recorded calls...
