Jack seems to be delaying indicting Donald over the docs and doing everything he can to rattle him in the meantime. Who knows what rats Jack is shaking loose, Meadows was in on the documents fiasco too and it will take a long time to debrief him about a lot of crimes involving others than Trump. Usually they would just bust everybody in sight over this shit and let the judge sort them out.

She is solid, no complaints from the usual suspects like Glenn about her.

Trumps remaining shit stain is the entire GOP, just a few, those with sense lost control of the base and are sitting in the house with outright traitors and criminals.
Is this the last gasp of Trumpism?

No question that between the Republican senate stuffing of judges (after screwing Obama out of his nominations) for Trump and this new Republican house
The problem is you can say that about damn near anyone, right up until the moment that they get activated in this long term troll that the Republicans have been using to maintain just enough power to slow meaningful progress in our nation for at least the last handful of decades.

Then she fooled a lot of shrewd people, I haven't heard the lawyers say anything bad about her, only good from what little I know. She won't get in the way of a Trump indictment or conviction and her rulings on the matters have been good so far. She runs the grand juries in DC investigating J6 and Trump, so Jack will be dealing with her a lot.
Indictments of Trump will likely go to another DC judge and some of them are tough. These are the people who sentence top secret cases like those documents they found at Mar A Logo and they have given others very harsh sentences for far less than what Donald did. Donald's equal treatment under the law could begin with criminal indictment in DC and it might shock many including Donald. These federal judges take such national security matters very seriously.

It is all fun and games until you find out your kid is neck deep in scam loans to Trump and you just happen to step down from a SCOTUS job. So we will see. I am not holding my breath for any particular outcome.
https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/the-son-of-former-supreme-court-justice-anthony-kennedy-helped-trump-secure-loans-at-deutsche-bank/
The son of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy helped Donald Trump in 2005 secure nearly $700 million in loans to construct a skyscraper in Chicago, despite Trump’s reputation for defaulting on business loans, the New York Times reported on Tuesday evening.
According to the report, Justin Kennedy, who ran the German bank’s commercial real estate team and was close with the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, was willing to overlook Trump’s shoddy history as a debtor, getting the future president to personally guarantee $40 million of the loan. Both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump currently work in the White House.
The Times reported that Trump was able to convince Kennedy and other top executives that “the Chicago development was a guaranteed moneymaker,” and further signaled “the Trump family’s commitment to the project” by informing the bank that Ivanka would be in charge of the operation.
Justin Kennedy’s role in helping to breathe life into Trump’s business empire before he was president has continued to breed rumors and conspiracies about the alleged “White House charm offensive” carried out by the Trump family to help convince Justice Kennedy to retire and make way for Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the bench.
In Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an Epic Trail of Destruction, finance editor of the New York Times David Enrich described how Justin Kennedy was “drawn to Trump’s risk-taking and glamour” while he was shepherding lucrative loans to Trump’s private businesses, even after the bank’s clients took massive losses when Trump’s Atlantic City casinos went bankrupt. After Trump’s election, the family reportedly set their sights on persuading Justice Kennedy to step down so the president could appoint a second justice to the bench.
“Trump’s flattery was part of a coordinated White House charm offensive designed to persuade the ageing justice – for years, the court’s pivotal swing vote – that it was safe to retire, even with an unpredictable man in the Oval Office,” Enrich wrote.
As Law&Crime previously reported, Justin Kennedy was apparently not the only member of the Kennedy family with the White House’s ear.
Washington Post deputy editorial page editor and columnist Ruth Marcuswrote in her 2019 book Supreme Ambition: Brett Kavanaugh and the Conservative Takeover about a suspicious scene in which Kennedy’s other son, Gregory Kennedy, allegedly met with White House counselor Kellyanne Conway during a dinner just days after the president’s inauguration.
No one was happier about the outcome of the election than his father, Gregory Kennedy said, according to the book. Anthony Kennedy had been nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, and Marcus wrote that Anthony Kennedy wanted to be replaced on the high court by another Republican.
“That’s good to know,” Conway replied, according to the book. “That happiness has consequences.” In a footnote, Marcus said Gregory Kennedy denied that account.

if my contention that that man is an effect is right, the end of the personality cult will mean no change to awful GOP policy and behavior. Same overthrow party; different or no mascot.

Chris Hayes: How Jan. 6 is the original sin of the Republican speaker chaos
47,673 views Jan 6, 2023 #january6 #msnbc #republicans
Chris Hayes: It is so grimly fitting that this is happening on January 6. We are in this position precisely because the Republicans refused to stamp out MAGA extremism after the insurrection. When it was clear to all how dangerous it was. Instead, they lost control of it.
