  1. BC Rich 😬😬 Or pronghorn. Two usernames of the same person who might also be Chad Briscoe, or hitbyatrain.
  2. Oh, I'm sure we could come up with others. Patel, Hoover, some that were quietly very bad.
  3. Fun fact for Laura Coozer. This lady also represented the fake Covid card "doc." She's also a UT law graduate. A year after me. Oh shit, she's an honest-to-God horn. BBA 89.
  4. The fundamental premise is that they will fail on that point.
  5. About as skinny an indictment as you can possibly have. Because it refers to authorizing someone "at the FBI" to leak, it apparently refers to conflicting accounts between him and McCabe about authorized FBI leaks to the WSJ about Clinton, ironically. McCabe authorized them, the conflict is whether he told Comey or Comey remembered being told. https://oig.justice.gov/reports/report-investigation-certain-allegations-relating-former-fbi-deputy-director-andrew-mccabe The DOJ IG found Comey more credible than McCabe and Trump tried to prosecute McCabe, but the grand jury no-billed.
  6. Not for this bullshit.
  7. They want to escape the DC jury pool, both grand and petit. Good bit of educated speculation that they'd seek the indictment in Norfolk or Richmond for that purpose. Alexandria isn't DC, but it's demographics are pretty similar.
  8. Im a little surprised a grand jury true-billed it. Anyone know whether it was Richmond or Norfolk? Oh, I see it was Alexandria. That's interdasting.
  9. Creeping Jesus, there's more gold than the last time I looked.
  10. That's pretty wild. Compulsory religious education of multiple faiths.
  11. Deus Vult.
  12. The case is likely to be for false testimony to Congress, ie perjury. That can be a very tough case for a prosecutor to prove unless there is contemporaneous evidence that the statement was false and the perjurer knew it. That actually does happen sometimes, and actually most of the time when a perjury case is actually prosecuted, so there's little chance of the perjurer successfully claiming s/he forgot or was mistaken. Unfortunately for Comey (but also probably fuck him, at least a little bit), that kind of case is pretty hard to negate ahead of trial. So, it's unlikely he'd be convicted, but also unlikely he'll avoid a trial. Rap/ride all that. There will be motions to dismiss, just like Trump in his cases, but they'll be far more valid, but not necessarily grantable. There will be one based on selective prosecution that will be a lot more credible than Trump's, but those are exceedingly hard to win.
  13. I got a couple of killer questions. What was the cause of the US Civil War, as set forth by each seceding state's declaration of secession? And How do tariffs work?
  14. Yes. To a certain extent law is just law, but experience in an area and more than passing familiarity with the statutes and interpretations helps a lot. Of course, her main function is to order line prosecutors to file a case, and they do know what they're doing. It might not surprise me that, if a grand jury goes along with it and an indictment happens, those prosecutors sandbag the thing. As Wittes said, Comey is going to have top flight law dogs that are going to push this hard. Halligan and her office are gonna get pantsed.
  15. He gone. https://www.kxii.com/2025/09/25/oklahoma-state-superintendent-ryan-walters-resigns/ This is fun.
  16. He's a foul-mouthed online dipshit, just like me!
  17. Oh, I'm sure she has. But in her first go-round, she was doing so excessively, and relatively poorly, until a foot injury curtailed it. And the NC followed.
  18. Gaslit? Biden openly changed border policies that resulted in more border encounters and crossings. He was open about it because it was thought to curry the Latino vote, among other things. Republicans lied that "encounters" was the same as entries or crossings. Granted, Biden's policy was not popular, because Republicans constantly lied about the criminality of immigrants and that they were taking American jobs and "stealing" benefits for which they are mostly not eligible and don't actually receive. Oh, and lets not forget the first significant border legislation in more than 20 years that Trump torpedoed for his own selfish purposes.
  19. For the record, I did not stomp her foot. I've been quite pleased with her setting this year and she's mostly avoided jump sets.
  20. Another thing. Trump wasn't charged with criminal "mortgage fraud." New York has a special civil statute that makes actionable fraud that is not a) criminal in nature or b) pursued by a defrauded party to a transaction. The ostensible reason for that civil statute is that New York is the financial capital of the world and to keep that mantle, needs to be able to civilly pursue fraud to keep their markets at least appearing honest.
  21. Well, it seems both are a result of under vaccination. "Less than 80% of eligible children in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Romania were vaccinated with MCV1 in 2023 – far below the 95% coverage rate required to retain herd immunity. In both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro the coverage rate for MCV1 has remained below 70% and 50% respectively for the past 5 or more years. Romania reported the highest number of cases in the Region for 2024, with 30 692 cases, followed by Kazakhstan with 28 147 cases." I'm glad our politics lead to vaccination rates similar to impoverished former Soviet republics. Where vaccine skepticism is flourishing. https://www.euronews.com/health/2025/03/25/romanias-measles-crisis-whats-driving-europes-biggest-outbreak Also *fewer
  22. Welp, shareholder lawyers finally doing something that might actually be in the public interest for once.
  23. She doesn't have to plead incompetence or negligence. The loan origination papers say it was a secondary residence, not a primary residence. She can simply argue, "from the outset, they knew the purpose and character of the loan, they provided the paperwork and I signed it. If there's something in the paperwork that says otherwise, I didn't notice it and would have thought they knew what they were doing, given that it was understood at the outset that this was a secondary residence." Most jurors are going to buy that. Certainly enough to prevent a conviction, either by acquittal or mistrial. And most prosecutors know that as well, which is why a goodly number of them won't bring Trumpy bullshit cases.
  24. Probably a couple of steps above. Habba has a few more years of experience, but working for herself. Halligan was at least in a firm where she'd get fired if she fucked up too bad. Speaking of which, in the recently decided appeal of the Carroll case, there were about a half dozen instances of alleged errors on appeal (the main things you appeal) that were waived or not preserved by the parking lot lawyer at trial.
  25. Well, he does have a "graduate certificate" from Western Seminary. A whopping 16 hours or less of solid ratfuck babtis theology. https://www.westernseminary.edu/academics/certificates-diplomas/graduate-studies-certificate Can be credited toward a masters degree!
