    Very early in my career, I was waiting for my (civil) case to be called in the US District Court and the criminal cases were called first (for arraignment).

    first case, guy is charged with making threats against President (Clinton), potential maximum penalty is/was 15 years;

    second case, guy is charged with counterfeiting US currency, potential maximum penalty is/was 25 yrs!

    You're better off threatening the President, than forging money!!
    Look, everything is leverage, even in criminal cases. once they face real prospect of trial/jury verdict, yeah that's when clowns get real.

    My best friend's grandpa went to the pen for, like, 10 years for counterfeiting $100 bills. The fools had an old guy in a wheelchair pass them.

    That sound you hear is Adam Schiff’s deep sigh of relief.

    I was wrong. I owe all an apology. I expected the Washington Post to, you know, follow the news.

    That was a pretty sick burn by Tapper.

    I don't think Zanona got Tapper's joke in real time.

    It is amazing that only now, where the attacks, threats, violent rhetoric and general disagreeableness is being directed at them - do most of the House Republicans concede that it is a problem.

    And PS - I totally dig HanSenSE's avatar. Humphrey and Charlie were an afternoon kids show on a local station - Humphrey wore a Raiders sweatshirt so I liked him better. Created and voiced by the station's weatherman. Fun fact: The Raiders sweatshirt was a gift to McCormick from Sonny Barger - founder of the Hell's Angels.
