Just saw this. Anything, brother

5 months for 15 felonies is a gift. And only makes sense if it's in return for testimony.

Tomorrow, Weisselberg, Trump's business' CFO and an executive since the days Fred Trump ran the business, wiis expected to plead guilty to 15 felonies. And get 5 months in jail.

The kicker...

I think if Donald announces a run Liz Cheney now will do the same. Not because she's expecting win, but because she'd expect to stand on the debate stage with him, and savage him. Say the truth,...

Rudy's been informed today that he's "a target" of Georgia's grand jury investigation into the election stuff. Which apparently usually means that the prosecutors feel they've enough evidence to...

I'd imagine a guy Shaq's size may not need an F650 daily driver, but won't be needing a padded codpiece either.

Dude is assembled on a scale quite unlike most mortals.

Probably has the $ to...

In Canada they've stopped putting prizes inside the boxes...

Twitter legal folks say apparently the sentence is still on the books as an option, for all that it's less common nowadays...

Twitter increasingly dubs it "Mar-il-Legal." :D

One wonders how they'll react to the Espionage stuff.

The FBI agents who are being fingered as the ones who "planted" this stuff don't have the clearances themselves to actually have been able...

There's a cartoon out somewhere showing the Trump Presidential Library in a septic tank.

That Beau video is pretty hot. He's angry. Angry.

So's Stonekettle, if you prefer to hear from your intelligence experts in print.

The judge has now unsealed the warrant and the receipts for the property the FBI agents found and removed. Considering Trump had already forwarded it to Brietbart, WSJ, and apparently FOX, this...

That would be another "unprecedented" thing - a former American POTUS (and presumably his family) fleeing the country to seek asylum somewhere without an extradition treaty with the United States.

Well, I won't hold my breath. But the documents Trump himself released list the 3 statutes which are implicated.

Trump charmingly didn't bother to redact the names of the FBI agents who'd...

Trump has himself leaked the warrant etc. to both the WSJ and Breitbart. Twitter is swarming with analysis, none of it encouraging to TFG.

He does look like he's lost a fair chunk of weight. I've been thinking tapeworms, but...

Imagine the relief of much of the Republican elected cadre that actually has/had to deal with the guy, the day he finally dies from his (likely) obesity related health conditions.

The guy's 74,...

Well. I'm shocked, shocked .

Trump's screwed himself on that. Won't matter if his legal team argues to keep the documents under seal, because the judge can rule otherwise in the public interest. And will be able to cite...

Jogs my memory. Apparently, during Beto's run for the Senate reporters noticed his affection for such words. ��

As I consider the language of many reporters I've known, it made me wonder at the...

actually, that's one rather likely option, as someone wrote last night on Twitter. The only people with close access to the places this material was kept were Trump's family and innermost circle,...

I think the government has a clear idea of what documents like this it has, and which of them have apparently taken a walk. This will have informed the warrant document describing what they were...

I feel so damned unproductive. Bloody Emperor...

That may be. Frankly it's moving too fast for me to have any clear idea what may be true here. Heather Cox Richardson on Twitter has a hunch that it may be related to the nuclear information the...

Syntax is everything.

I'm not really a Beto fanboy, but I'm impressed.

Sweet f@cking hell.

It will indeed be fascinating to have the judge release couple of those documents regarding the executed search tomorrow afternoon.

WAPO is unspecific about the nature of...

The judge overseeing Garland's motion to unseal the Mar a Lago documents apparently doesn't want to give Trump's side until August 25 to hum and haw and plaster the internet with lies.

He's...

Awesome. Garland's brief remarks this afternoon,

God, I...

so to be clear, and to all those who are arguing that it was overreach for the FBI to execute a search warrant on Aug 8 ... that they ought to have used a subpoena process instead ...

There was a...

Imagine. High ranking Republicans accusing the FBI of planting evidence, politicization etc. being amplified for a couple of days now by RW media sources, and it's turned...

100% agree, Lee. It's astonishing to see the Trumpists alienating a natural Republican constituency.

But please, don't let me interrupt anything...

Tune up the pub for us; we'll all get there eventually.

He had every right, eh?

I like the memes and Twitter comments suggesting it's Melania. Or Dark Baron.

Prompted by the realization that he wants to bury them in shallow graves on a New Jersey golf course.

Think of yourself as a rice paddy in training.

Ivanka and Jared did not take the 5th when they went in for their depositions. Just saying.

A very big man, a burly man with tears in his eyes, said "Sir. That's the bigliest 5th ever seen. Like nobody's seen before."

Happy B-day, Ian. Lots of thoughts sent your way from my spot on the continent.

I walk past a house on my way to church where Benedict Arnold apparently came at least once and stayed as a guest. Fredericton was a British garrison town at the time.

I believe that the relevant NY statutes say that while one can certainly plead the 5th in civil cases, that (unlike in criminal cases) the court/jury can treat it as a "negative inference." That is,...

As I posted over on the "Toast" thread, Trump pleaded the 5th today in that deposition, despite his 2016 statement that "only the mob pleads the fifth."
