— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) February 9, 2023Get ready for round two of the clown show. (I've gotta say, as a member of the American people, I don't feel persecuted nor that the powers of government are being used against me because the FBI wants to see what's on Scott Perry's phone. I'm all for due process and making the government prove its need to crack the phone, and don't assume Perry is guilty because the FBI has questions. But I'm also in agreement with the recurring meme "Fuck around and find out." Perry thought his treason would prosper and so none would dare call it treason. Now it's his turn in the barrel. That's just the way it works.)
And then there's Trump's legacy:lmao a 15 year old led police on a high-speed chase in a stolen car in Comer's district just two days ago! https://t.co/w12Ok59GfY

And I don't even know what to do with this (except point out NORAD tracked the balloon across the entire continent, and kept a plane stuffed with electronics under it at all times to block any intelligence gathering it was doing, block any transmissions of data it attempted. But yeah, I know: "Santa Claus.")CHRISTOPHER MILLER: I'll be bitter until the day I die about the end of the war in Afghanistan.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: But Donald Trump was the one who kept pushing harder than hell to get out of there!

Just to explain/remind everyone how Mueller was not investigating the crime of "collusion" between Trump and Russia.CJR's Error at Word 18 @emptywheel

It’s pretty simple. The whole of the 23,000 word @CJR piece starts with the assertion Mueller didn’t find Trump guilty of the crime of ‘collusion’ with Russia
There is no crime of collusion

"Election interference" is not a thing you can be prosecuted for. It's an umbrella term, like "collusion." It's not a specified crime. Greenwald knows that (one presumes). Greenwald doesn't care (one is sure).If you were wondering whether Area Substacker would admit that the hearing proved only Trump attempted to censor on Twitter, you didn't really have to ask, did you? pic.twitter.com/3JUdDrwrN9

Being a cop explains Higgins' rant perfectly. He doesn't know what he's talking about, but he doesn't like it, so it must be a crime he can arrest somebody for. There oughta be a law! But if there was, we wouldn't have enough jail cells. And any political opinion or dirty political trick (like the Hunter Biden laptop scam) would be a crime. Oops.Rep. Clay Higgins is a Louisiana cop. You are watching witness intimidation in the form of a police tantrum in a Congressional committee. https://t.co/fRselkD7ID
