  1. And the OL's and the RB's.
  2. Probable cause is a very low standard, but there needs to be something signaling that the crime occurred. The problem here is more one for proof at trial. To prove this type of perjury, there needs to be something very unequivocal and contemporaneous that flat contradicts what the perjurer said. Otherwise, it's a he-said she-said that is extremely unlikely to meet the reasonable doubt standard. And even the known background information doesn't contradict what Comey said.
  3. It is highly unusual for a US Attorney to be the sole lawyer representing the government in a criminal case. Usually, there are three or four or more Assistant US Attorneys, sometimes even a couple more from Main Justice special units like national security or public corruption or what-have-you. It's a sign that no one else was willing to be associated with the case.
  4. None for fact checking, complete freedom on her part. Of course, after the fact, a defendant can challenge the indictment for lack of probable cause and examine the transcripts for lies and mischaracterizations.
  5. Fun and unusual fact. As of now, Lindsey Halligan is the only attorney from USAO ED Va that has appeared in Comey's case.
  6. A post on Popehat notes that, because the event is scheduled for 9/30, the last day of the fiscal year, US command staff could be stuck in Virginia for an indeterminate period by a shutdown.
  7. h/t popehat
  8. Mental health and too easy availability of guns are mostly independent variables in the mass shooting question. Addressing either one has great potential to reduce the problem until we actually attempt to address them.
  9. Thankfully, though, that kind of shit only works for teh Donald.
  10. Also, why is a cabinet official down amongst the hoi polloi in a football stadium? In whiskey Pete's case, I'm all for it. Maybe some short Mexicans in jean shorts (h/t Charlie Kirk) take care of that problem for us.
  11. I am proud of the fact that I have no fucking idea what that is. Well, now I have more of an idea. Goddammit.
  12. Hi there, My name is Brian Sauvé, and I’m pastor to Refuge Church, husband to Lexy, and father to seven kiddos. Here at this site, you’ll find me writing, preaching, podcasting, and making music for the new Christendom. I’m Reformed and Protestant, Paedobaptist, Postmillennial, and Patriarchal—and several other things that tend to bother the good people of Twitter dot com. But I’m sure all of you are cool.
  13. Nothing, really. At least for a number of years. Law schools will still be approved or accredited by the ABA and will probably continue to tout that for the rationals. What this is, I believe is the Rules Governing Admission to The Bar of Texas. Right now, most Texas bar sites related to this are blocked by Chrome as dangerous. Haha. It goes on to say that graduates of an "approved" law school are entitled to take the bar. Which means the Texas Supreme Court is going to get busy for a minute approving and disapproving law schools. Where it gets funky is when they approve Liberty law school and disapprove Harvard and Yale.
  14. The other thing is, shooting is weird. Do much of it and you'll observe how common is deviation from expected or predicted behavior.
  15. There isn't some standard ".30 cal round." And the 0.30" diameter is the least important aspect of the "equation." For example, .30-06, .308, and .30-30 are all ".30 cal rounds" and each would have pretty wildly different ballistics and would do different things to a human neck. There's a wide variety of commercial loads and bullets available in that chambering. https://ammo.com/ballistics/30-06-ballistics#federal And, that guy was shooting at 10 yards, give or take, while the shot was around 200. That distance bleeds off about 1/3 of the energy of most loadings.
  16. Got a top plan view? Looks like might be a small rabbit.

    That area was gonna be some kind of entertainment district 20 or 30 years ago.
  18. Yeah, Biden didn't do it because in normal world, it's just not done. Broadly speaking, it's to protect "the innocent" or those innocent enough not to be charged with crimes. The other reason, related, is Biden didn't make some kind of deranged election issue out of it and didn't create some deranged "base" that's convinced pedos run the government and everything else.
  19. Iow Rex Kramer.
  20. What are the odds she lied or grossly misrepresented something to the grand jury?
  21. Wiki also says he worked as a carpenter and Mr. Mom, while the mrs office administered at Skadden Arps (probably paid very well) and Thompson Coe (paid less well).
  22. Surprised that is still even possible.
  23. There are quite a number of us, raised if not born there, that are not Trumpists, right here on this board.
  24. The point being, we've had some L/DS that could get to anything, it seemed, but the ball went pretty wild and made an already shaky passing team shakier.
  25. The thing that makes Emma elite, though, is not just the scrambling. She gets the ball up and in bounds and even in the vicinity of the setter even after the wildest scramble.
