https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1064634139494834177 tl;dr the Special Counsel wants absolutely nothing to do with any arguments over Whitaker's validity, as you might expect and Michael Dreeben does an admirable job in his brief of avoiding the question of "What if Whitaker is not a principal officer?"

Comments on AOC tweets are always so... bewildering. And infuriating. It's always a bunch of Danes and Swedes and us Australians sharing stories about kids getting free cancer treatment, followed by a parade of old people insisting that medical care is in fact morally wrong and totally impossible anyway. It must be absolutely exhausting to be a sane American.

Xae posted:The problem with her getting into a bunch of different Twitter slap fights a day is that the media will ignore the 99 she "wins" and cover to death the one she "loses", or even the ones she doesn't respond to. I will never get over how absurd this notion is that you don't want to stand up and defend yourself because you risk making things worse. The media will ignore the one she ignores and anyone she loses will immediately be overshadowed by the next one she wins. And before you launch on the "but Hillary Clinton" tirade I would point out that the reason that the smears on her work 0rd was because Hillary Clinton was in fact a soulless empty suit whose primary interests was acquiring power for her own sake and not seeing the presidency on her belt as an achievement. AOC has genuine authenticity and knows how to use it- that effectively makes her immune to the kind of smear campaigns that were successful against Hillary.

tetrapyloctomy posted:Especially if they pull as many questions as possible verbatim for maximum gently caress-you-ism. Oh definitely. As a bit of extra schadenfreude consider that in response to the unending parade of Judicial Watch style lawsuits and records requests connected to the Hillary email server rules/regulations were implemented that removed every ounce of ambiguity and room for avoidance around email retention. If Ivanka gets in meaningful trouble for this it will be as a near-direct result of the GOP emails obsession.

Also the nepotism Trump has shown is one of the more egregious offenses and something that has the potential to do extreme damage to the country if allowed to take root. We know this because it has happened before, both in the US and in countless other countries. Everything about Ivanka, Kushner, Eric, and Jr's interactions with the White House needs to be scrutinized.

Oracle posted:And yet all the conspiracy theorists are obsessed with pizza parlors hiding child porn rings. It's because the real conspiracy isn't very exciting, it basically comes down to "a bunch of lovely rich people accept money from other lovely rich people to do lovely but not terribly interesting things," and stuff like Pizzagate or chemtrails or Monsanto poisoning the watering hole is way more glamorous than "this time, the congressman was taking bribes from Putin et. al. instead of the Saudis/Israelis/MIC/whoever." Actually it's funny, Monsanto is manifestly evil but the absurd conspiracy theories around them obscure the more mundane corporate reality of their awfulness.

Yeah but the thing is that it's really boring corporate "corner the market" evil overlord and not "genetically engineer alien supermutant food" like the nutters think it is. Which is a shame really, in that the latter would be way more cool.
