President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

"Following the money is a fairly common practice in any white collar case, but when it comes to classified documents and foreign business ties, alarm bells go off," tweeted former U.S. Attorney Barb McQuade.

Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, a professor at Georgetown University Law School, said the subpoena suggests Smith's case against Trump has "gotten even stronger."

"Basically, the background here is the prosecutor's fear, the public's fear, that Donald Trump monetizes everything," he told MSNBC. "He monetized Jan. 6th, of all things. He monetizes his impeachment and the like. So, I think the prosecutor's concern here has been when he took these highly sensitive classified documents, was he trying to monetize those as well?"

The DOJ has long looked at potential violations of the Espionage Act and obstruction statutes in the case but "what this says is perhaps there is even more," Katyal said.

"There is a whole other set of potential criminal charges," he said.

 

What kind of amateur move is that? Why would you give away the game so early? His people would throw you out before you got within spitting distance of Meatball Ron.

 

How DC works: Hunter Biden's main attorney is Abbe Lowell, considered Washington's premier criminal defense lawyer. Lowell was also Jared Kushner's attorney during the Mueller probe.

 

A judge in Orange County shot and killed his wife and texted his office to let them know to clear his schedule because he had just killed his wife. He spent a couple of hours in detention and then was bailed out for $1 million. Did I mention he is a white male?
The kid-glove treatment of Trump will make this guy look like a serial killer. He won’t spend 30 minutes “behind bars.” Ever.

 

Oh well

The parts that always get me are the inmates in the background.

“I’m not supposed to be here!”

“Neither am I. They run this place like a fucking prison!”

Quick! While they're all in one place!

 

It's too bad Tom Tiffany decided not to run, but he probably concluded correctly that he wouldn't have a prayer in a contest with Baldwin. Eric Hovde has run before, but he actually lives in California. Mayer sounds like he'll put his neck on the block to keep Tammy from running unopposed.

Steil, in Paul Ryan's old seat, would be the ideal mainstream Republican candidate, coming from an old-line GOP family. But he and every other Wisconsin Republican in Congress realizes that their gerrymandered seats are largely safe, and statewide races have become an uphill fight.
