This is no time for the niceties of reason in an age of rage. Bragg showed that the only important thing was the name on the indictment caption rather than its basis...

....This is a thrill kill case and Bragg just delivered on his campaign promise to bag Trump on something . . . anything. We still do not know what that was but it does not matter. Bragg knows his audience.

Judge Chutkin, as expected, has ordered the release of the Smith filing weeks before the election. Smith fought unsuccessfully to try Trump before the election but has now been allowed to release this scathing report.
...Smith was clearly eager to get this out before the public despite Justice Department policies that encourage prosecutors to avoid acts that would be viewed as trying to influence an election...
...He is trying to thread the needle in this filing to get around the Supreme Court immunity decision. Notably, Smith removed evidence from the new indictment but kept the same claims, including conduct that seems to fall within protected areas...

Here is the new indictment of former President Donald Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith, which is to indictments what shrinkflation is to products -- same package just less content...

...Smith simply re-indicted on same four criminal counts with less evidence. He removed factual claims that clearly would trip the wire on the recent presidential immunity ruling of the Supreme Court...
......It reminds me of my favorite Italian beef stand in Chicago when a women asked if there was a low cal option. The owner cut it in half and charged her the same amount...

After years to refusing to release documents on censorship, Mark Zuckerberg has finally come clean and admitted that the Biden-Harris Administration pressured Facebook to censor Americans. I discuss that government-corporate alliance in my new book. amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS…
...Zuckerberg's belated admission () that Facebook yielded to the pressure to censor comes after years of concealing such coordination and even a commercial campaign to get the public to embrace censorship. Remember this? shorturl.at/WVlNI

When Elon Musk was being attacked for releasing the Twitter files and dismantling the company's censorship apparatus, Zuckerberg was resisting efforts to release his own files and evidence of government pressure to censor Americans...

The Washington Post is reporting that "the 81-year-old had shown signs of slipping for a long time, but his inner circle worked to conceal his decline." That is a rather curious and belated observation. The Post leaves the obvious implications unstated...
...First, Kamala Harris was part of that "inner circle," something that she is emphasizing on the campaign trial . That would mean that she also concealed his decline but denying it publicly...
...Second, since many were long writing about the decline, it begs the question of the near total lack of interest in that issue by the media, including the Washington Post. Many professed to the public that Biden was sharp as a tack...jonathanturley.org/2024/07/04/rep…

President Biden is citing a series of cases with which he disagrees as the basis for seeking to fundamentally change the Court. The message is clear. If the Court ruled as he demanded, it would not have to be changed...
...Biden states that we need to chance the court with "regularity". He appears to be saying that this would be done legislatively. Then why not 8 years or 2 years instead of 18 years? If Congress has that authority, it could the occupants faster than a South Beach time share...
...Biden is citing President Johnson who pushed to change the law (and the Court) without seeking to fundamentally change the institution itself...

The decision of Joe Biden to withdraw from his reelection bid raises the obvious question of how he can continue as president if he is incapable of running for that office. The Democratic Party seems to have created its own 25th Amendment, but ...
...there remains the "other" 25th Amendment. This is a type of 25th-lite option where you lack capacity to run but not to serve for an office...
...It also focuses attention on the efforts of Democrats to drop any challengers or hold any debates through the primary as millions voted for Biden. Holding a party "primary" in a matter of weeks is hardly a substitute for a primary campaign to expose candidates to prolonged scrutiny...jonathanturley.org/2023/12/04/bal…
