1. When people act in a panic like we are seeing with certain @GOPHouse members calling for Biden's impeachment over a plea offered to Hunter Biden by a Trump appointee, I always try to understand, why now? IMO it's highly likely that Jack Smith has either called witnesses to

2. the DC grand jury who are conveying to these members that they appear to be the subjects of the investigation or, like we witnessed with the run up to Trump's indictment, they have received target letters and are likely to be charged. Thursday has in the past been a DC

3. grand jury day. At least six members were likely involved in the seditious conspiracy: Gaetz, Taylor-Greene, Boebert, Gossar, Biggs, Jordan & Perry. The crime could result in being denied pre-trial release. If that were to occur, the House would change control and with the

1. IMO the wealth being surreptitiously transferred to GOP SCOTUS justices is no more a "gift" than a $100 bill put in the hand of a maître di'. At a minimum these are gratuities given without the "detached disinterested generosity" required to be a gift under the IRS Code.

2. IMO all these transfers are all taxable to the justices. If they were really intended as gifts, and thus not taxable to the Justices, to the extent that they exceed the annual exclusions under the IRS code ranging from 10k to 17k in 2023, the donor was required to file an

3. IRS form 709. Now that Hunter Biden's prosecution has made clear that fraudulent non-filers are to be pursued with criminal charges the DOJ needs to begin the process of ridding the Court of what should appear
to any neutral observer to be massive official corruption.

1. I thought Trump's indictment would take time to start moving the needle but this poll may signal that, with Trump's increasingly bizarre public statements, the needle has started to move. It will be increasingly difficult for many GOP conservatives to support him.

2. What will remain is the extreme right comprised of seditionists seeking overthrow of the Republic and religious extremists seeking to impose a theocracy. Americans have historically shunned extremes. When Trump crashes and burns it's possible that all but a

3. few of the current list of GOP hopefuls will be cast aside along with Trump for having too much Trump baggage. The impact this could have on GOP funding and eventually on turn out will have the remaining power elite of the party of Lincoln scrambling.

1. Hobgoblins. On October 17, 2013, a Mexican national gets picked up by CBP in Miami with fake green card. He'd been deported in 2002 after being convicted in FL for leaving the scene of an accident and drunk driving. In 2013 Kash Patel was his attorney and

2. Aileen Cannon was the prosecutor. Less than a month later the Art III judge dismissed the unlawful entry count and let him off on the felony document fraud with $100 fine and time served, though it's unclear to me if he served any. I didn't see mention of another deportation.

3. The judge in 2013 is the current June 2023 Miami duty judge who handles the grand jury but can refer it to the magistrate judge. The magistrate judge paired with the judge in 2013 is the same one who handled Trump's indictment.

1. My initial thought about the @washingtonpost article regarding alleged FBI stonewalling POTUS #45's Jan 6 investigation, was that I wondered if DOJ approved discussions with the reporters. Discussing an ongoing investigation without authority can be career

2. ending for violating DOJ rules. It could also be referred to OPR for past and present prosecutors. Here's how @CarolLeonnig and @byaaroncdavis described the DOJ interviews.

3. I used to have a personal inside joke about my late brother when he was at DOJ that his business card should read "DOJ Official Speaking Under Condition of Anonymity." The point is, to me, this sounds like the 4th floor may have authorized it. Why?

1. I'm not an expert on classified material and have never held a clearance but life brought me to where I have become familiar with the issues starting in the 1990s due to my brother's work at the DOJ that involved our most protected secrets.

2. I have been pondering the Trump indictment and I believe another shoe may soon fall. Several of the materials Trump purloined were SCI. When POTUS gets a SCI document, somebody brought it. That person is logged when they accessed it and that log is used for mole hunts.

3. I checked the indictment, and the conspiracy charge only relates to the obstruction charges. So who gave him the SCI documents and failed to return them to the system?

During the final weeks of the lawless Trump administration we witnessed him park an odd collection of
