Re: Trump Charged With 37 counts of Espionage, Obstruction and related crimes

https://twitter.com/BVanGrack/status/1732619511159832727 Judge Chutkan has already rejected a similar motion in the D.C. case, which probably doesn't have as sensitive information. I'll be surprised if Judge Cannon follows suit, and it does seem likely that if she grants the motion there will be an ...

I'm not convinced that "amusing" is the correct word here.

Re: Chaos in Congress

True. And unlike Santos' district, which is a real toss-up, a special election to replace McCarthy should easily result in another GOP representative replacing him.

House vacancies must be filled with a special election, and I doubt that Newsom will scramble to do so as soon as possible. My presumption is that McCarthy's Bakersfield ...

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)

From a national security perspective, I would add that this means that if Tuberville's real plan was to leave the military understaffed and thus ready for Donald Trump to fill vacancies should he win election in 2024 (as some suggested), that he has failed. And from a political perspective, I think...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

This high quality polling among young voters (18-29) shows two things. 1) reports of Biden's weakness among young voters against Trump were overstated; but 2) reports that RFK Jr. would hurt Trump more than Biden were wrong, at least among this demographic. https://twitter.com/mcpli/status/173202812...

Re: The Russia Investigations and other Trump-related cases

As Klasfield also observed, the only possible reason why they would want to postpone the testimony until they are able to get a ruling on the gag order is if Trump wants to trash Allison Greenfield on the stand, and there is no conceivable reason why doing so would be relevant to the case. Truly biz...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election

This trial is certainly going to be interesting, if it actually happens. Among the many other interesting aspects to this motion is the fact that, as Ryan Goodman observes, it appears to refer to a new co-conspirator with regard to an attempt to disrupt the counting of the votes in Michigan by causi...
