Just a reminder of the crimes committed by just-pardoned Charles Kushner:

Kushner was giving illegal campaign contributions to Democrats.

William Schulder, the husband of Charles’ sister Esther, came to the office of US Attorney @ChrisChristie with info about this.
2/ In the midst of that investigation in which Schulder and his wife Esther were cooperating, Charles Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law. He filmed it, and had the tape mailed to his sister on the day of her son’s engagement party.
3/ Charles Kushner pleaded guilty to 18 counts of witness tampering, tax evasion, and illegal campaign contributions.

nytimes.com/2005/03/05/nyr…
4/ Christie last year described it as “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted...and I was the U.S. Attorney in New Jersey.”
5/ Charles Kushner served 14 months in prison and has since become a big donor to outgoing President Trump.

And obviously, his son Jared is the president’s son-in-law.

From @jmhansler: The Trump administration on Monday identified and sanctioned two senior Iranian intelligence officials who the US government says were involved in the abduction and "probable death" of former FBI agent Robert Levinson. 1/
2/ Mohammad Baseri and Ahmad Khazai, officers from Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, had "direct involvement in the abduction, detention and probable death" of Levinson, per sr officials.

The action comes nearly 14 years after Levinson disappeared in Iran.
3/ From Robert Levinson's family:

“Robert Levinson will never come home to his family alive because of the cruel, cynical and inhumane actions of the Iranian authorities. Because of these men and others like them, our wonderful husband, father and grandfather died alone,...

SO...

After an election that respected election officials from both parties say went very well with no evidence of widespread fraud...

... in an election where Republicans generally did very well except for the top of the ticket with a historically unpopular president...
2/ ... the president, distraught, lies and spreads deranged conspiracy theories about the election and software, and attacks GOP officials for abiding by the law...
while raising hundreds of millions for his “legal defense” — though 75% of the money need not be spent that way..
3/ .... and court after court, official after official, many GOPers or appointed by GOPers, rule against these efforts to overturn the election because there is no real evidence of problems...

...while the lawyers for this effort behave, shall we say, erratically...

McEnany attacks me in this clip for allegedly not reading the court document. I did read it and it’s embarrassing.

Here’s a good explainer at @reason about the suit: “Garbage in, garbage out.”

reason.com/volokh/2020/12…
@reason 2/ We also discussed the insanity of the Texas lawsuit with @gtconway3d, whom Trump once considered for the Solicitor General position.

cnn.com/videos/politic…
@reason @gtconway3d 3/ @EWErickson says of the Texas suit: "The level of debasement these people have been willing to engage in makes them seem more the ball-gagged gimp from Pulp Fiction, humiliating themselves for their master. They should be ashamed and embarrassed."
