Big deal?
The Manhattan DA's office has convened a new grand jury
Tish James is considering a new law suit against Trump
Cy Vance is retiring next month
Is *this* how newly elected Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg will finally be able to criminally indict Trump?

2/"'This is way, way beyond anything that’s believable,' said Norm Miller, a professor of real estate finance at the University of San Diego who has appraised properties for 50 years. “I’ve never seen anything with a gap that extreme.”
3/"But extreme is not the same as illegal. Legal experts said that if prosecutors wish to prove a crime, they will need to do more than simply prove Trump’s valuations were wrong.
4/"'Is it an overly optimistic? Is it an enthusiastic perception?' said Robert Masters, a former top aide to the district attorney in Queens. “Does that make it a lie?”
5/"Masters said prosecutors would probably need to show that the figures were wrong on purpose falsified deliberately, with an intent to deceive a lender or the gov't. Masters said that may require a witness on the inside, who could explain the decision-making behind the numbers"

Remember when Pelosi was on the phone during the Congressional baseball game?
She was talking to Manchin
Good news: she's still working on this
Still helping get BBB thru the Senate
And she is REALLY good:
nytimes.com/2021/11/20/us/…
2/"[Pelosi] is still not done, with the Senate now getting a chance to reshape the measure in the hope of eventually sending it back for final House approval and Mr. Biden’s signature.
3/"Mr. Manchin is still demanding major changes, such as the jettisoning of a new four-week paid family and medical leave program that Ms. Pelosi has made a top priority.

Per @jonkarl "Betrayal":
We have kewpie doll Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis writing yet *another* memo directing Pence
Meadows sent it to Pence's aide:
It gave states til 7pm 1/15/20 to send back new votes & if they missed that deadline their votes wouldn't be counted
Read. This.
⤵️
2/"Ellis, in the memo, outlined a multi-step strategy: On Jan. 6, the day Congress was to certify the 2020 election results, Pence was to send back the electoral votes from six battleground states that Trump falsely claimed he had won.
3/"The memo said that Pence would give the states a deadline of "7pm eastern standard time on January 15th" to send back a new set of votes, according to Karl.

Chris Christie has written a book
Maggie Haberman got a copy
She reports he writes that when he had Covid he was given last rights at the hospital
He then got a call from a hospitalized Trump, who asked:
“Are you gonna say you got it from me?”
nytimes.com/2021/11/13/us/…
This book is Christie doing the traditional 'write a book before you run for the Oval' dance
It's a *lot* of too little, too late
And I will work hard to prevent him winning the presidency
But it's got *some* interesting info in it
Per NYT:
Thread⤵️
2/"the Youngkin victory knocks down “this idea that if you don’t agree with Donald Trump on everything, and pledge unfettered fealty to him, then you can’t win because his voters quote unquote won’t come out to vote,” Mr. Christie said. “No candidate owns voters. They don’t.”

Lateish last night:
Ron Wyden said drug pricing remains under discussion:
"We're trying to make sure that these prescription drugs aren't a financial ball and chain that seniors and others are carrying around. So here's what are the kind of key pieces in terms of where we are
⤵️
"[Let] Medicare negotiate. We're talking an authority in part B and Part D. Every insulin product in Part D would be available at a low cost and insulin prices would be negotiated by the government. Inflation caps.
⤵️
"This is what came out of the Finance Committee, as you know, that limit drug manufacturers from engaging in price gouging and we're talking about both Medicare and the commercial market. An out of pocket cap to spare a seniors from high drug costs
