1. I think this is a good list of @SenateGOP in 2022 cycle. I keep it in a word processor file so it's easy to engage GOP first to be judged on Trump vote. @lisamurkowski @SenShelby @JohnBoozman @MarcoRubio @MikeCrapo @ToddYoungIN @GrassleyPress @JerryMoran
2. @RandPaul @SenJohnKennedy @RoyBlunt @SenJohnHoeven @robportman @SenatorLankford @SenTrimScott @SenJohnThune @MikeLeeforUtah @RonJohnsonWI
3. John Kennedy was in the first vote for Hawley and Cruz but not in the second. They switched him for Scott from FL. I'd be fine waiting to go after Trump with the caveat that time works in favor of Trump calling it a bill of attainder. I think there is an argument that charging
4. treason might remedy that because the Constitution Art. III has an odd clause that authorizes attainder for traitors.

1. Bar Exam Question:

The @SenateGOP @HouseGOP have said they are illegally carrying firearms in DC. Officer Olivia needs to question @laurenboebert regarding a report she is illegally carrying a firearm. Officer Olivia stops Boebert on the street and pats her down before
2. questioning her and discovers she is carrying an unpermitted loaded pistol. Boebert's attorney is seeking to exclude the evidence obtained during the search and subsequently found in her apartment and office after a warrant issued based on the seizure. What result and why?
3. Issue for me is whether the reports that they were armed can be used to create the "articulable suspicion" to authorize a "Terry Stop" pat-down. I don't know if the suspicion can be based on facts that are not plainly evident at the time of the stop. I'd have to research it.

1. If I were part of Trump's Russian conspiracy that Mueller was prevented from fully investigating, the person who Joe Biden put in as Deputy AG would concern me. He was the Asst. AG for the Nat Sec Div April 2014 to Oct. 15, 2016. He likely knows everything.
2. His name is John Carlin. And as acting Deputy AG runs the pointy end of the DOJ spear.
2.Carlin will oversee much of DOJ but IMO key is the Criminal Division. President Biden has appointed a former SDNY prosecutor to head it, Nicholas McQuaid, who also served as a White House lawyer in the Obama administration.

1. President Biden is clear he won't interfere with the Justice Dept. What do you think that means to him when McConnell hears it? Does he think that means he and sedition caucus should sound the all-clear?

The DOJ is currently run by Monty Wilkinson a former DC prosecutor.

3. I don't think McConnell should be surprised if some of his caucus are charged. Career people run the DOJ that has been under Trump's toxic corrupt cloud for that past four years. Fates of @HawleyMO @tedcruz @SenHydeSmith @ScottforFlorida @CynthiaMLummis @RogerMarshallMD

1. The @TheJusticeDept @FBIWFO must focus on whether the actions of members of @SenateGOP @HouseGOP violated the law. If they incited or gave aid and comfort to insurrection, justice demands that they face prosecution. Target letters should be out if the elements of

1. By any objective measure, Fox News Corps. programing like @FoxNews @Foxandfriends @TuckerCarlson @seanhannity @IngrahamAngle @MariaBartiromo and the like are extreme rightwing anti-government propaganda and improper for any military command to prefer over another news outlet.
2. It's up to civilian regulators and economic forces to deal with Fox News in the civilian context, but its connection to the violent attempt to overthrow the US should end any preference for it by the military & would justify an outright ban for purpose of military discipline.
3. If the tie-in that forces consumers to subsidize Fox News Corp is ended and damages paid for the past five years times three, it's likely Fox News Corp will be unable to continue to pose a national security threat. If the @JusticeATR does not act by February, the plaintiff's

1. @MSNC just reported McConnell opened session in Senate with a foreboding comment about Trump and his enablers. Here is part:

"The last time the senate convened, we had just reclaimed the capitol from violent criminal who tried to stop congress from doing our duty. The mob
2. was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like. But we pressed on. We stood together and said an angry mob
3. would not get veto power over the rule of law in our nation, not even for one night. We certified the people's choice for their 46th president. Tomorrow president-elect Biden and vice president-elect Harris will be sworn in."

@SenSchumer in the well now.
