The Intelfolks testified to Congress, basically calling Trump a big, dumb idiot. Since it was congressional testimony, it's all archived on C-SPAN.

Trump, being a big, dumb idiot, didn't really care about what they said to Congress, he only cared that he was getting bad press about the whole thing.

Consequently, the big, dumb idiot decided the right thing to do was attack the press and claim that the Intelfolks were misquoted and everyone is on the same page. He even said that the real story was nothing like what he saw on TV, once he asked the Intelfolks about it. Therefore, the big, dumb idiot confirmed that he had no idea what the intelligence actually was, he just got his poo poo from TV first.

Galaxy brain genius stuff.

the richest people in the world don't associate with others because they have nothing in common. Its just about impossible to become a billionaire and have any empathy for others.

Here's a good article on the bullshit states like Texas try to pull with fearmongering and disenfranchisement/suppression.

tl;dr Texas said 95,000 non-citizens were registered to vote, and 58,000 of them had voted since 1996. Literally no check done by anyone between the state or major media outlets, they just ran with it. Now Texas is quietly going "um maybe we weren't right about that".

https://www.texastribune.org/2019/01/29/texas-voter-citizenship-list-problems-state-tells-counties/

For what its worth, the Texas Tribune saw the flimsy proof the state made its claims on and immediately called it out as bullshit.

Yeah I heard FN trotting this out the other day and immediately smelled bullshit. Admittedly that might just because of who was "reporting" it

[Paul] Erickson’s email also said the trip could help ease relations between Russia and the U.S. by creating a way for the Kremlin to connect with a future Republican president.

“As we discussed over lunch in Iowa, Russia believes that high level contacts with the NRA might be the BEST means of neutral introduction to either the next American President OR to a meaningful re-set in relations with the Congress under a (God forbid) President Clinton,” he wrote. “This simple good will trip would have enormous diplomatic consequences for a future U.S. / Russia bilateral relationship to the world.”

Other news organizations cited Senate Intel sources, which would make sense. My guess is that Senate Intel finally got the call logs and the staffers (who are the ones that look at this stuff), leaked it.

Standard stuff, sorta. Everyone's kind of stunned that it wasn't Donnie.

All I'm getting out of that paired tweet is "Zounds! A lawyer has been friends for a long time and represents another lawyer in some matters, with that second lawyer representing some some real idiots from time to time."

Randazza is a first amendment lawyer, so it makes sense he'd be retained by aforementioned idiots.

Seems like a nothingburger to me.

All of the above sounds like typical nonsense that people throw at true believer defense lawyers that defend lovely people. They're all cool to me, as lovely people deserve the best representation or the system breaks down. The problem lately is that rich, lovely people get the good representation while poor, good people get hosed by an overworked public defender.



Overall though, Popehat is a conservative/libertarian. He tends to be on the good side of drat near everything because he was a federal prosecutor that essentially turned over a new leaf and became a true-believer defense lawyer. So, he's against drat near anything involving giving the government more power.

He's pretty much consistently on the side of "freedom". So that will put him on the "good" side of pretty much anything legal, but on the "bad" side of a lot of social issues, such as universal/government-supported healthcare. Big government bad, little government good.

That sort of confuses people because the majority of conservatives were fake bullshit artists that happily defected to trumpism and called it conservatism. There will be a time when someone like Popehat is a baddie, but that will be years in the future.

Edit: Looks like he's getting mad at tumblrina types right now? :confused:
