Half of the House Republican conference wrote to last year asking him to appoint a special counsel in the case. Now that he's done it they are acting mad, including many who signed this letter

8-8-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Trump Trial Talk with Marcy ‘Emptywheel’ Wheeler

View on Zencastr

Today in Atlanta, GA, the roads surrounding the Fulton County Courthouse were closed in anticipation of the next indictment coming for the former guy. That'll be #4.
And that's on top of his already being found liable for rape and defamation of E. Jean Carroll.

Everything’s coming up roses.

Incognitim,

When I heard it was an Obama nominee, I just kept wishing "please don't be another Merrick Garland, please don't be another ..."

SO GLAD it's her! 😅

Listening to Legal AF by MeidasTouch (Trump faces TOTAL DEFEAT with CRUSHING Legal Blows): https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/537745/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/MTH3400226809.mp3?updated=1689203505

The top-rated legal and political podcast Legal AF is back for another hard-hitting look at the most consequential developments at the intersection of law and politics. On this midweek’s edition, Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo, discuss: 1. Trump’s efforts to delay the Mar a Lago criminal trial until after the Presidential Election; 2. Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice deciding that Trump is NOT entitled to presidential immunity after all for any statements he made against E Jean Carroll to defame her while president, as E Jean Carroll’s fire back with a scathing motion to dismiss Trump’s retaliatory defamation case against her for statements she made about the trial verdict; 3. Fani Willis and the Fulton County DA finally seating the regular grand jury which will start its secret proceedings on Tuesday to consider the criminal case against Donald Trump and many others for election interference in Georgia and other states, with an indictment likely by the end of August/early September, and so much more.

It's difficult to come back from a four-day weekend. That's compounded when you do a news-based show but took the weekend off from all news-related information. Seriously, that's what I did, and it felt great. But I got to work last night cat

will pursue impeachment for if GOP don't get "what they consider satisf answers" about deal reached by Trump-picked US att’y, Punchbowl reports

What a joke. No answers will ever be "considered satisfactory"

Pattern:

GOP will impeach DHS chief Mayorkas over border surge that didnt happen

GOP will impeach Garland bc GOP-apptd prosecutor didn't prosec Hunter for things he didnt do

GOP will impeach Biden for crimes they simply invented

⚖️ told a news conference in Friday morning, the city's Police Department engaged in discriminatory "patterns and practices" against Black and Native American people that persisted even after "reforms" were implemented.

You can read that story elsewhere.

The report by contains this sentence about a racist cop-stop.

"In one stop of a car full of four Somali American teens..."

A car full of four people? Subtle, but racist.

Kise would hopefully “take the temperature down,” he told others, by promising a professional approach & the return of all documents.
But Trump was not interested

's attorneys have got to be high. They have to know there's literally no chance is just going to terminate Special Counsel 's investigation and potential prosecution of Trump for stealing all those . Smith seems to be nearing a production decision, and Trump is clearly terrified. This request is laughable.

Criminal Trump,

I have a couple of suggestions for you:
👉 Change the name of Truth Social to “Lies Incarcerated,” as a “coming attractions” tease.
👉 Rot, slowly, in prison.

You’re welcome.
