"Here’s what happened just yesterday: Prosecutors told Rudy Giuliani that he’s a target of the Georgia grand jury probe into Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election."

politicalwire.com/2022/08/16/tru…
"Sen. Lindsey Graham was ordered to testify under oath in the same criminal probe.
"Another former Trump White House lawyer [Eric Herschmann] was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury investigating the January 6 insurrection.
"Trump’s former chief financial officer is about to plead guilty to criminal charges.
"Trump’s legal team copied sensitive data from election systems in Georgia as part of 'a secretive, multistate effort to access voting equipment that was broader, more organized and more successful than previously reported.'
"Trump relayed a message to Attorney General Merrick Garland to offer 'whatever we can do to help,' saying the 'temperature has to be brought down.' "

Allow me to say, "Ha! Who raised the temperature in the first place?"

"And that’s after a week when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago to retrieve top secret materials and the former president took the Fifth 440 times in a New York deposition.
"In a normal world, this fire hose of criminal news would have shaken Trump’s followers.
"But, alas, that doesn’t seem to have happened."
I don't expect trump's core followers to ever desert him. But they may fail to show up for him in the future.
GOP politicians are now between a rock & a hard place. If they break from trump, they lose the base vote. If they stick with trump, they lose wavering Republicans and independents.
The GOP enters the midterms w/a structural advantage in the House created by gerrymandering. But that advantage is being eroded by events such as the Dobbs decision, the revelations of the January 6 Committee, and trump's apparent violations of the Espionage Act. #VoteBlueIn2022

Philbin "would have a general idea of what bodies are buried. Because he tried to negotiate their return over the course of months, he would know the general scope of the documents Trump took with him in 2020 ...
"and may well have specific knowledge of individual documents NARA identified to be missing. He may know, for example, about specific documents that Trump was particularly opposed to returning.
"Speaking just hypothetically, that could even include the full transcript of that Perfect Phone Call that Philbin’s office had helped to keep out of the hands of Congress, potentially a violation of 18 USC 1519." emptywheel.net/2022/08/17/pat…

I'm sharing this book review as a gift article for all to read. The author hilariously trolls the Boy Prince. nytimes.com/2022/08/17/boo…
"This book is like a tour of a once majestic 18th-century wooden house, now burned to its foundations, that focuses solely on, and rejoices in, what’s left amid the ashes:
"the two singed bathtubs, the gravel driveway and the mailbox. Kushner’s fealty to Trump remains absolute. Reading this book reminded me of watching a cat lick a dog’s eye goo.

"Cheney was the crown jewel of Trump’s revenge tour, and, as much as any other election result, her ouster epitomizes the arc of the Trumpified GOP two years from the next presidential election.
"And yet, it also reflects the party's vulnerabilities, because Cheney will leave office more influential and admired — and perhaps even powerful — than ever before." morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/now-the-real…
"This is a hard concept to understand for much of official Washington, for whom clinging to power is the prime directive and electoral defeat is its worst fear.

Only the best people, who are we kidding edition. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/a…
"At least one lawyer on the Trump legal team – led by former assistant US attorney Evan Corcoran, who also acted as the lawyer for Trump’s top former strategist Steve Bannon – has called up a reporter covering the story for any insight into how [DOJ] might next proceed.
"It added to the already fraught atmosphere inside the reduced group of advisers who have day-to-day roles around Trump that erupted shortly after the FBI departed Mar-a-Lago and sparked suspicions that a person close to the former president had become an informant for the FBI."

Dear Mike,

You are cordially invited to testify.

Sincerely,

The January 6 Committee
politicalwire.com/2022/08/17/pen…
“Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he would consider testifying before the House Jan. 6 committee if asked, in some of his most direct and extensive remarks on the subject.”
Said Pence: “If there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it… Any invitation directed at me, I’d have to reflect on the unique role I was serving in as vice president.”
