This House Republican is admitting Capitol Police have investigated his office, and claims they were disguised as construction workers. So he's either in so much trouble the police ran an *undercover* probe into his office, or they really were just construction workers.
Weirdly, this guy Nehls is one of the House Republicans that Kevin McCarthy picked for the 1/6 committee. Pelosi rejected Jordan and banks, but approved Nehls, and then McCarthy withdrew all his picks. So Nehls was almost on the 1/6 committee. Fortunately he's not.
Nehls and a handful of other House Republicans have since formed a FAKE January 6th Committee of their own, and claiming to be investigating the Capitol Police, in order to paint the Capitol attackers as victims.
And now this clown, who claims the January 6th attackers are the real victims of law enforcement overreach, is claiming he's also a victim of law enforcement overreach. How convenient.
Also, 'I caught the police carrying out an undercover investigation into me' is not the kind of scandal he thinks it is.
The real question is whether Nehls, who claims he learned about this in November but is just now announcing it three months later, is trying to get out ahead of some kind of pending law enforcement announcement about why they've been investigating him.

When you put Maggie Haberman's fictional reporting about Hillary Clinton's email scandal within the context of her decision to sit on the fact that Donald Trump was flushing documents down the White House toilet, you can ALMOST argue that Haberman criminally conspired with Trump.
Trump committed a crime. Haberman knew about it but failed to report it or tell the authorities, which means at the least she helped cover it up. Now it turns out she sat on her knowledge of Trump's crimes so she could personally profit from it with a book long after the fact.
Given that when Haberman learned about Hillary Clinton's handling of documents, she swiftly reported it AND falsely characterized it as having been a crime, she can't now argue that she had legitimate journalistic reasons for sitting on the information about Trump's actual crime.

The Matt Gaetz probe is a good guidepost for how this DOJ operates. It’s painstakingly flipped three inside witnesses against him – nearly guaranteeing a conviction. But it still hasn’t even publicly acknowledged the Gaetz probe exists, and likely won’t until he’s indicted.
The existence of the Gaetz probe only became public knowledge when Gaetz himself decided to go public about it, after someone in his life allegedly tried to extort him over it. If Gaetz hadn’t done this, we might still not know he’s under DOJ investigation.
When Greenberg cut a deal, his lawyer told the media he was cooperating against Gaetz. When Ellicott cut a deal, his lawyer did the same. It’s not clear who leaked the ex girlfriend testifying and getting immunity. But none of this appears to have come from the DOJ itself.

Republican politicians exist to steal your money, keep some, give the rest to the wealthy. Then they use racism, sexism, and anti-government rhetoric to get idiots to reelect them. Trump is now getting in the way of Republicans’ usual thievery, so of course they want to dump him.
In spite of some of more simplistic punditry insisting “they’ll never ditch Trump no matter what,” there was ALWAYS a threshold at which republican leadership would selfishly decide to ditch Trump. The only question was when or if that threshold would be met.
If Trump’s approval rating had dropped into the 20s while he was in office, republican leadership would have ousted him (this isn’t just my take; John McCain once said the same thing).

Once Trump lost, GOP leadership was always going to dump him once criminal charges were near.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has apparently decided to create nonstop superficial scandals in the hope the media will be satisfied with the ratings it gets out of that, so the media won't bother to dig into his numerous actual scandals. Adams is who we thought he was.
Adams was never properly vetted in the first place. Local and national media spent the entire NYC mayor democratic primary obsessing over Andrew Yang and ignoring the rest of the large field. When Yang imploded last minute, Adams was "Brand B" and won sort of by accident.
In those final few days, where it became clear Yang wouldn't win and Adams might, the media began digging into all kinds of leads about Adams-related scandals. But then dropped it all once he won and started feeding the media superficial controversies to write about him each day.

Marc Short is fully cooperating with the 1/6 committee, but he’s also insisting his boss Mike Pence shouldn’t have to testify. Reminder: this is never about who’s “good” or “bad” or “grew a conscience” or “can be trusted.” It’s about whether these pieces of shit are useful to us.
Short was a piece of shit as Pence’s chief of staff. He’s still a piece of shit for taking 13 months to finally sell out Trump over 1/6. But Short has now become a USEFUL piece of shit, because he’d rather give up Trump than get indicted for contempt, and he hates Trump anyway.
Our side always wastes so much time debating whether someone like Short has “grown a conscience” or “can be trusted” or “should be forgiven.” But that’s gibberish talk. Those concepts do not exist on me way or the other with these kinds of folks.

Key point: today's court didn't come from the DOJ. It came from Bannon, who's trying to paint himself as a victim (won't work). This means the DOJ is still not ready to reveal its overall probe, which at this point obviously covers Trump world and almost certainly includes Trump.
This filing reveals that the DOJ has been investigating not just Bannon, but also investigating Bannon's attorney, who happens to represent Giuliani, who's also known to be under investigation. This is far too sprawling not to be a probe of the *entirety* of Trump world.
It also reveals the DOJ has three federal prosecutors assigned to the Bannon case. Just for a contempt case that's already complete? Of course not. Suggests Bannon's entire life is under DOJ investigation, and has been for some time.
