Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?

As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind

The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

Where you tonight, Tony Tarasco? If a fan interferes with a ball by reaching over the outfield fence the batter is out if a ball is playable by a fielder. Victor Mesa was leaping, with mitt up and under the ball. In 1996, Tarasco was fucking camped under his. Yankee Stadium always gets the call.

17 players have led the league in strikeouts 5 or more times, and 14 are in the HOF. The others: Justin Verlander, who will go in 5 years; Roger Clemens, who PEDed his chance away; and Sudden Sam McDowell, who didn't get a single vote his one year on the ballot. eriklundegaard.com/item/sam-mcd...

Wrongly indicted, charges dropped, and now we learn prosecutors allegedly knew the Reflecting Pool renovation was failing and they charged David Hearn anyway. I hope he sues their asses off.

I never really got it before, but the great unspoken in Buck's "Don't feel sorry for me" comments on segregation and the Negro Leagues, how much fun they had and how good they were, is: You should feel sorry for you. Because you didn't get a chance to watch us play.

Alejandro Inarritu’s “Digger” isn't a good movie but it is a pungent one. You’d like to take America’s leaders and tie them to chairs, “Clockwork Orange” style, and force them to watch it. So they feel some of the dread we’re feeling. eriklundegaard.com/item/movie-r...

3. Schmitt's story is part of a broader attempt by the GOP to punish Smith for prosecuting Donald Trump's treason. If we say goodbye now, we miss a chance to say that.

2. Schmitt's story is part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of a coup against an investigation that, as Jack Smith said, "developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation."

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

The last time the World Series was between two teams that had never won a World Series was 1980: KC vs. Philly. Before that? *1920*: Dodgers vs. Indians. And before that it was the first decade of the Series. It's barely ever happened. But Rays vs. Brewers or Padres would do it. Rooting for it.

MAGA says they only want judges born in the US. Fine. Start with Trump’s BFF, Aileen Cannon, who was born in Cali, Colombia. Let’s see how long that rule lasts.

Wait, what? Just because the Red Sox traded the best player in baseball in Dec. 1919, which precipitated an 80-year championship drought, you think they were tempting fate by trading the best player in baseball almost exactly 100 years later—in Feb. 2020???? Pshaw!!!

Two years ago the Chicago White Sox lost 121 games, and now they're in the postseason. If you're not rooting for them, I don't know, man, I'd worry about you. Plus they're playing the Astros and no one likes the fucking Astros. (Yordan excepted. He's exceptional.)

Today’s Jack Smith hearing should be treated by the press as a civics lesson rather than a spectacle. “As I appear before you today, it is my belief that the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we have experienced in our lifetime.” His opening remarks: www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
