The Law Has Entered The Chat

Somebody is robbing the widow and the estate blind. Anybody competent to file a libel suit knows the claims die with the plaintiff, even if the plaintiff was alive when the suit was brought.

Oh, wait…I see the error in my assumption….
There’s a lawsuit against the FBI on this issue. The sensible (read: adult) response would be to decline to discuss matters that are a subject of litigation.

Instead, Sen. Schiff cross-examines Ka$h Patel. With predictable results: And shocking no one, Trump just found out what day it is.
“Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades," Trump wrote. "How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much! Newscum allowed their houses to burn by not accepting Hundreds of Millions of Gallons of Water from the Pacific Northwest, and now, the Low Income Housing starts rising long before he gets Permits for California Citizens to rebuild, but long after the Federal Permits were issued."

Trump also tried to draw a confusing parallel between former New York City Mayor John Lindsay (who died in 2000) and Newsom's efforts to bring affordable housing to the neighborhood and greater Los Angeles County, which has an ongoing housing crisis amid a costly market and less inventory following the fires.

"Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator, and I, as President, have done the job, and produced all Permits long before anybody expected that to happen," Trump wrote. "Unfortunately, the Governor of California and Mayor Karen Bass failed you. Gavin Newscum’s plan to build Low Income Housing (at the Super Luxury Pacific Palisades Fire Site) is what caused the destruction of the Late, Great New York City Mayor John Lindsay’s Political Career — and John Lindsay was a Republican."

It's unclear what Trump is referring to or comparing in his mention of Lindsay's efforts during his two terms serving New York City residents (1966 to 1973) and the sprawling Los Angeles area in the year 2025.
Pretty sure all of that is as divorced from reality as the repeated claim Trump “released the water” that would have put out the Pacific Palisades fires.

Patel’s incoherence is clearly a job requirement. This time around, Trump is setting the undeniable standard for his Administration. None may rise above it.

  1. These days you've got to take into account that the Roberts Court is just making stuff up and totally disregarding whatever even they said in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided they could sue on his behalf, six to three. Especially if there was something in it for them.
