I hope bar associations, at minimum, are preparing for the time to take away the law licenses of the embarrassing lawless people running the Justice Department, along with a slew of their US Attorneys.
As a former prosecutor, I agree with the saying that any prosecutor “can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.”
So when the grand jury refused to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, that means there was no real evidence. Another huge embarrassment for the corrupt @AGToddBlanche.

A list of things that should go without saying but definitely need saying in the upsidedown Trump era.
How many times in the Trump era have you heard a pundit start a sentence with the phrase: “I can’t believe I have to say this, but . . .”?

Rep. John Olszewski, once a civics teacher in Maryland, wants Congress to promote voter registration while Trump keeps trying to suppress it. Imagine that. @baltfishbowl @RepJohnnyO

One longs for the day when we don't hear his voice and his inane words, when the news hours are filled with stories about progress and peace, and his name is uttered only to remind Americans how bad things were.

Four years ago, when he was running for his 7th term (after saying he'd stop at six), I tried to sum this guy up: danrodricks.com/2022/01/06/m… @atrupar @RepRaskin
Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night.
Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Such a whiner, keeping in lock step with his leader in the White House.
