For two months we've been feted with snarky Jabs noting #typographical and #othererrors in #electionchallenge lawsuits.

You know, #mistakes?

What wasn't a mistake?

It wasn't a #mistake when @TheJusticeDept told a federal court that there were plans to capture and kill members of Congress during the incident at Capitol Hill.

That wasn't a "spacebar" instead of a "comma."

That was a process:

examine evidence
review charging standards
frame thought
formulate words
enter words on keyboard.

This was a whole freaking sentence filled with words; words filled with meaning; meaning expressing intent.

And now, with the #accusation #imprintedindelibly on the record of #humanmemory, only after the damage has been done, @TheJusticeDept has asked a court to strike its words from paper.

Now that they have already spoiled the jury pool of the United States.

Now that they have fueled the left from indignancy at the trespass to the People's House to justifiable rage at a murderous coup

Now that the Democrats in Congress have defecated on the Constitution by their second impeachment of Donald Trump.

Now that anger, anxiety, and anguish are peaking in our neighborhoods and cities because of the inflammatory nature of "official" (but false) allegations about conduct.

Now they wish they hadn't said the words because they're not true?

Last I heard, lying to a Court is a crime.

For an attorney, this conduct was a grotesque ethical failure almost certainly warranting disbarment.
