Chuck Grassley makes a horrible MAGA Grand Inquisitor against Jack Smith. You can tell that he knows he's being horribly unfair to a good man at the behest of the Mad King and that his heart is not really in it.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

I was taken aback that the Republican senate was going to question Jack Smith as that was giving him a forum to talk about Trump's brazen & obvious guilt in keeping classified documents in places like the Mar a Lago men's room. I learned why they are calling him this morning with Chuck Grassley

@djrothkopf.bsky.social On your recent podcast you said that Trump impounded something like $800 million in funds appropriated by Congress because he wants to control everything. No doubt that explains almost all of Trump's conduct but don't forget about the influence of far rightwing actors like

Here is the defense motion that this astonishing NYT article is about. And lots that the NYT left out, like: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Still looking for the exhibits.
With no evidence, the government alleged to the grand jury that the conspiracy in this case extends far beyond the defendants to include the AFL-CIO, the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, Monarca, Veterans for Peace, and the Grease Pit bicycle repair shop, among others.  These wild conspiracy allegations are born from the fantasies of political retribution that animate the Trump Administration.
