Thanks for the heads up. Will add them to the reading list![]()
You can't commit actual fraud by political commentary. Otherwise, Fox News, the precursor of political edgelord sensationalism in modern media, would've been shut down a long time ago.
You guys need to accept the fact that the 1st amendment protects speech whether you like the speech or not, and whether the speech is factually right or wrong.
Jeez, if we're talking about outright lying to the American people being fraud, this POTUS would've been gone a long time ago.

next time a sitting president is under federal investigation the media should absolutely not report on that fact until the investigation is over and findings are released
She called it a political fraud. What term would you have preferred she used for what Brookings/media did for 3+ years?
Also, no opinions! Universal gag order. Not really cons utional, but who cares?
Run of the mill politics. I mean, if we have to go through 'think thanks' that are full of on either side, we're going to break Spurstalk.
Because that is all the media did
i dont have issue with much of those characterizations.
the most over the top ones, like maddow, jacobus, tribe, tend not to be journalists
Fraud is a strong word that should be reserved for things like Trump University.
yet another Trash gift to Pootin, obeying Pootin's dictates
U.S. to withdraw 12,000 American troops from Germany

Appeals court will rehear case about Michael Flynn prosecution
D.C. Circuit agrees to judge's request for en banc hearing of dispute about DOJ's move to abandon false-statement case.
The full bench of a federal appeals court in Washington has agreed to consider whether a lower-court judge should be forced to dismiss a felony charge against Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to Donald Trump.
The announcement Thursday from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is a setback for Flynn, who scored an unexpected victory on the issue last month, when a smaller panel of that court voted, 2-1, to order U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to grant the government’s motion to drop the prosecution.
The appeals court said it will sit en banc to hear arguments in the case on Aug. 11.

slapped
but seriously...
i'm still baffled by the initial 2-1 ruling. its just a mess procedurally to set the precedent that a party can seek a writ of mandate BEFORE a ruling is even made by a judge on the matter at issue. i have to believe it's going to be overturned
with that said, i still believe the most likely outcome is that sullivan will grant the motion to dismiss on his own terms. if he doesnt, that would be ripe for appeal, and i'm inclined to believe it would be overturned on appeal in that scenario
So...
premature ing of the treasonous football?

Fraud... you mean like the Trump charity?
Or...Trump draft deferrments?
or... Trumps college application?
or... like Trumps "degree"?
On a scale of fraud with zero being not a fraud at all, and 10 being just about anything Trump has touched, where would you put this fraud?
What does it feel like to now know you were duped and were an active participant in one of the biggest political frauds our country has ever seen?
Not that big a fraud tbh.
The only reason this blew up was because that dumbass Trump fired Comey.
His fault.
Republicans are planning a mass attack against Biden using information from pro-Russian agents
In 2020, Republicans in both House and Senate—having given Trump a free pass to invite foreign interference and approving the whitewashing of Trump’s crimes by Attorney General William Barr—are all on board.
That includes Barr, who has all but promised to provide America with a QAnon-sanctioned October surprise.
It includes Republican lawmakers like Rep. Devin Nunes, who are sitting on a packet of do ents prepared by a pro-Russian official from Ukraine.
It includes Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has been using the State Department to pile up a stack of unsubstantiated attacks on Joe Biden.
Barr, Nunes, and Pompeo are not just sitting on this information:
they’re deliberately hiding it,
looking for the moment to strike when no one has a chance to see what a baseless conspiracy they’re really pushing.
Nunes made it clear that his loyalty to Trump exceeded any other responsibility.
when it came to questions about when Nunes would be truthful with his House colleagues,
he could not have been more clear: “Never.”
Devin Nunes has been working directly with a pro-Russian Ukrainian lawmaker who previously passed along information through Rudy Giuliani.
In the next 97 days,
the attack on Joe Biden is going to come from William Barr, from Mike Pompeo, from Senate Republicans, and from Republican representatives like Nunes,
all of them using information that has not been vetted, or even seen, by anyone outside the GOP.
They’re not planning an October surprise:
They’re planning a bull assault from every direction.

there will not be ANY policy points, nothing but The Politics of Personal Destruction, using lies, slander, info from Pootin
It's probably in the top ten political sideshows since Benghazi, but I'd still put the Comey memo shenanigans above it.
McCarthy has to be disappointed this is going nowhere.
