The Senate Judiciary Committee report on Trump’s subversion of DOJ and the treacherous activities of DOJ official Jeffrey Bossert Clark in the aftermath of the 2020 election is out. judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
They dug up a draft resignation letter the Associate Deputy Attorney General prepared on January 3rd.
the most 🤌 exhibit so far
This came out before in NYT’s reporting, but it really is an astounding exchange that gets to the heart of everything.
An email earlier in December shows Richard Donoghue playing a somewhat different role—pushing the FBI and the US Attorney in Georgia (who later resigned under Trump’s pressure) to investigate the meritless State Farm Arena allegations hyped up by right wing media.
The Republicans’ minority report essentially boils down to “hey, he ultimately didn’t follow through on this stuff.” judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Statement from Senator Whitehouse suggesting Congress take up his legislation insulating the DOJ from political interference:

This seems like a bigger deal than whether Trump’s accountants were able to concoct a net operating loss: Image

Here’s the change.

In the Trump hotel’s statements for every year prior to 2018, it says it will start making principal payments on the DB loan on August 12, 2018.

Then in 2018, that changes without explanation to no principal payments until the loan matures in 2024. ImageImageImage

I am very interested to know how the Saudi sovereign wealth fund “proved they are not a state-run entity.”
In 2017, the PIF seized a private charter company called Sky Prime Aviation on the orders of the Crown Prince, MBS. Months later, its planes were used to ferry the assassination team that killed and dismembered Jamal Khashoggi to and from Turkey. cnn.com/2021/02/24/pol…
Premier League statement that makes no sense.

Again the reads on this situation that some voices at CNN choose to give its audience are wrong and pretty baffling.
This just isn’t the case. It isn’t. The effort to detach the infrastructure bill from the reconciliation bill isn’t aligned with the WH. The progressives who delayed the vote are aligned with the WH and made a reconciliation bill containing more of the Biden agenda more likely.
This is a significant analytical and explanatory failure by two major news organizations.

Fielding errors play an outsized role in the congressional baseball game.
Republicans, picking on a weak center fielder, erase the Democrats’ early lead with back-to-back inside the park home runs. They now lead 5-3 as the first inning comes to an end.
By a millimeter, we just missed the most epically symbolic play at the plate imaginable in a congressional baseball contest.

A letter from a month ago popped up on the Giuliani search warrant docket today. It outlines the dispute between Giuliani and SDNY, the office he used to lead, over the temporal scope of their review of the data on Giuliani’s devices. h/t @emptywheel. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
A subsequent letter indicates SDNY narrowed the scope of its request, letting the Special master exclude anything that’s clearly from before a date in 2018, but disagreements remain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
