Having worked as an attorney in the criminal justice system for 29 years both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney, I am against the death penalty. Christa Pike’s botched execution tonight just reinforces my feelings about it.

Just occurred to me that it’s a good thing Jack Smith was actually at a basketball game that day and they could prove it during the hearing because they were all gearing up to feast on the headline for weeks if not years. The headline was all they were after anyway.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Eric Schmitt got every detail right about Jack Smith‘s basketball game. Except the team, the league, the gender, the city and the state. Magats constantly prove the infinite depth of their stupidity.

Tennessee has had two failed executions this year. The death penalty should be abolished. Christa Pike wasn’t afraid to die. She was afraid they would screw it up and make her suffer. Which is exactly what happened. We shouldn’t allow the government to kill people.

One of the many horrific aspects of the death penalty is that states are not good at carrying out executions. Every time I post about this, someone responds by saying that it should be simple. But it’s not, and proponents of the death penalty need to own that.

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

the problem with trying to imitate the opening speech from Patton is that you're actually trying to ape George C. Scott. And I don't care who you are, you will never sound tougher or more manly than George C. Scott. It's a fool's errand.

Worth emphasizing that there are several layers of nuts here. If Smith had gone to an NBA game in Atlanta, that wouldn’t indicate he’d met with Willis. (Why would anyone go to the trouble, rather than just having a phone call?) And if he had met with Willis… that wouldn’t be any sort of scandal.

The fact that Schmitt’s team alerted the media to be ready for drama is the part that too few of you are focusing on. I did PR for years. It would have been a big deal, had it proceeded as planned. That it didn’t, for the precise reasons it didn’t, is revelatory. It speaks to incompetence.

Trump's own investigators could never corroborate Trump's claims of election tampering. Even with taking over the presidency and his party having control of both houses of Congress and a lock on the Supreme Court, they still could not prove Trump's claims. You know why? Because it's a lie.

The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.

The basketball game *mix-up* is the sideshow. The critical part of this Republican hit job is that a sitting US Senator was accusing Jack Smith of colluding in a secret corruption scheme with another prosecutor against Donald Trump. It is a vile as it gets.
