Strike A Nerve?

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b

Government processes be damned!

So Trump is admitting he’s giving the generals a loyalty test. Not to the Constitution, but to him. https://t.co/IT6A8W7TNj

This is fine. This 👇, on the other hand…

Yeah, take that to court.

I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

(2/3) It also just so happens not only that the only lawyer who signed (would sign!) the Comey indictment was … {checks notes again} … Halligan, but that the statute of limitations on the charges it purports to allege expired … {here's another handy note!} … at midnight last night.

(3/3)

Which means that unless the courts accept some kind of wild (and I can't imagine precedented) tolling argument, Halligan, Pam Bondi, and Donald Trump won't be able to fix this even if they had a single working brain among the three of them. SAD!

But you’d better hurry. I don’t think that claim is enough for its own prosecution. 

Or maybe Cruz has the 4th non working brain in this group.

(Quick explainer for the non-lawyers (lucky you). A limitations statute can be paused, or “tolled,” under certain circumstances.  Filing an invalid indictment days before the statutory limit expires, is on the DOJ. They don’t get a do-over because Trump had to fire the last guy who wouldn’t do his illegal and unethical (professional ethics, I mean) bidding. Comey may well file to dismiss based on Hslligan’s status, and get this thing ended. I don’t care about Comey, so much as I worked for a defense firm (civil, not criminal) for 3 years before law school, so I still think like a defense lawyer. And this looks to me like a winning defense. If Comey’s lawyers disagree, it’s because they know more than I do. Which I’m sure is true.)

And speaking of nerves:

There would not be enough column inches on the NYT's opinion page to include all the BIDEN MUST RESIGN pieces that would have been written if this gibberish came out of his mouth but everyone in the media ignores this stuff. "Hey man, just Trump being Trump, totes normal" 🤡 https://t.co/COdczFyFIe

Nerveless. Barely even sentient.
