President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Where is the feather to knock me over with?

 

There are former staffers who are on the phone with his lawyers asking how they did that

 

Trump follow his lawyer's advice? Before we answer that, the weather.

 

Trump wants to delay the elections trial until 2026! LOL.

 

He must be scared shitless if he’s actually following the advice of counsel.

 

I mean, there's also the slight complication that the report doesn't actually exist, so he always needed an exit plan for the news conference.

 

It is not yet established that anything has actually changed over the long term. Trump is fully capable of changing his mind and tweeting the entire report tomorrow morning, especially if someone rags him about not being his own man.

 

I think his OP on the newser was something along the lines of "the greatest health care" or whatever the MyPillow guy has been wanting to announce for the last three years.

 

Yet at the same time, the people's vote really doesn't matter for president because of the electoral college.

 

Yet another thing to not forget

 

He wasn’t just arrested — he just pled guilty.

Charles McGonigal, a 22-year veteran of the FBI who retired in 2018, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and money laundering, per a plea deal struck with prosecutors from the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

The disgraced former FBI ranking official was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in January and charged in two separate indictments in New York and Washington, DC, for allegedly working with the sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and concealing hundreds of thousands of dollars he received from a former employee of an Albanian intelligence agency while he was a top official at the bureau. McGonigal's attorney Seth DuCharme recently indicated to a federal judge in Washington that they may resolve the Albania-related case by the end of the month. ​
