Unimaginable. Except for Trump and his cronies. "Republicans" don't care about American democracy. Separation of powers? Big deal. All's fair as long as they win. When they don't, clearly, it's a multi-year whine and lie fest. Whiny, racist, traitorous babies.

The orange psychopath remains a big fat loser. A California judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit that Donald Trump filed against Twitter, the latest blow to the former president’s high-profile battles with major tech companies over their decisions to suspend his accounts in the fallout of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/06/trump-twitter-lawsuit-dismissed/

When Trump said, "you'll get tired of all of the winning," he was referring to all of the people he's sued. Stealing campaign slogans from Charlie Sheen on an extended bender and he won. It's still baffling.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Federal prosecutors have opened a grand jury probe into whether former U.S. President Donald Trump mishandled classified records that ended up at his Florida residence, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing two people briefed on the issue.
Prosecutors have issued a subpoena to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to obtain the documents, the report said. Authorities have also made interview requests to people who worked in the White House in Trump's final days in office, it said.
A grand jury probe suggests the Justice Department has advanced in its inquiry, which began after NARA said it had recovered 15 boxes of documents, including classified records, that Trump took to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House in January 2021.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Of course Putin welcomes the orange psychopath with open arms. Along with Moscow Mitch and Rand Paul. And of course Fox "News" propagandists for the Russians are not banned. And poor widdle Mikey Pompeo - despite calling Putin "elegantly sophisticated" he got the ban. Boo hoo, West Point traitor. One prominent name missing from the list: former president Donald Trump. In fact, the only prominent Trump administration official included in the ban is former secretary of state Mike Pompeo. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is not on the list. Also not listed is Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who delayed a Senate vote on aid for Ukraine last week when he was the only senator to object. The Senate passed the measure this week, and Biden signed the $40 billion package of new military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine into law on Saturday while visiting Seoul. Russia focused on the U.S. tech industry in naming Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft President Brad Smith to the list. American journalists barred by Russia include George Stephanopoulos of ABC News, Susan Glasser of the New Yorker, Bret Stephens of the New York Times and Bianna Golodryga of CNN. No journalists or hosts from Fox News were banned by Russia on Saturday, according to the list.www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/05/21/russia-bans-963-americans-ukraine-biden/

We have 15 pages of a corruption thread related to this a**hole and he's still the presumptive favorite for 2024 and we're still 2 years out. Well done, "Republicans."

Donald Trump’s presidency produced a long list of should-have-been scandals, incidents and revelations of sleaze so frequent that few garnered more than a day or two of notice. A year and half after Trump’s band of grifters left office, stories of potential or actual corruption continue to emerge, the latest involving son-in-law Jared Kushner and Trump’s treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin. The New York Times reports that in the waning days of the Trump administration, Kushner and Mnuchin traversed the Middle East supposedly seeking investments in places such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for a government-established entity called the Abraham Fund, which was supposed to promote economic development in the region. Yet the Times concludes: “With no accounts, employees, income or projects, the fund vanished when Mr. Trump left office.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/23/corruption-lost-all-meaning/

Orange psychopath loses another one in court. NEW YORK — Former president Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the New York attorney general — which claimed that her long-term civil investigation into his business practices was an abuse of authority that needed to be stopped — has been dismissed by a federal judge in Syracuse, N.Y. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/05/27/trump-new-york-lawsuit/

Ed would respond but he's handcuffed by reality.

I didn't know Durham at DOJ but colleagues of mine who knew him and in fact reviewed his office said he ran a tight and good shop as US Attorney. They can't figure out what has happened to him. We discussed what a weak case this was when Durham procured the indictment. (As an aside, Jim Baker the star witness and firmer FBI GC hired me at the predecessor component, the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review, which became the National Security Division in 2006 after reorganization after 9/11). A federal jury delivered a major setback to special counsel John Durham on Tuesday, acquitting well-connected lawyer Michael Sussmann on a charge that he lied to the FBI in 2016 while acting on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign — a trial that sought to revive old controversies about the FBI’s role in that election. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/05/31/sussmann-not-guilty-lying-fbi-hillary-clinton/

Durham, appointed a special counsel at the 11th hour by POS Barr to prevent AG Garland from terminating him except for good cause, has wasted about $4 million of your taxpayer dollars on an investigation that has yielded exactly one guilty plea (Kevin Clinesmith of the FBI on the Carter Page FISA application), one not guilty verdict ( Sussmann trial) and one yet to be tried case (Danchenko on alleged false statements to the FBI related to the Steele dossier). What a waste of time and money trying to create a false narrative that the FBI and Clinton campaign conspired against the orange psychopath. The attempt to "investigate the investigators" has been a total failure. By way of contrast, Mueller was 8 for 8 in securing guilty verdicts in two years. Bull Durham is going into his third year. Well, that was a quick acquittal! The Michael Sussmann prosecution brought by Trump administration special counsel John Durham tried to generate a Clinton-conspiracy bang but ended with a not-guilty-verdict whimper. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/31/sussmann-durham-hillary-fbi/

Bull Durham. AG Garland should pull the plug on this miscreant for good cause - politically-motivated indictments. For three years, conservatives hyped John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s original investigation of Russia’s effort to help Donald Trump get elected president in 2016. Durham, a prosecutor appointed in 2019 by then-Attorney General William P. Barr, would blow the lid off the real scandal, they said, which was a conspiracy between Democrats and the FBI to get Trump. This would show there was never anything to the Russiagate scandal. Durham had all the time and resources he needed. As of last December, a partial accounting found he had spent about $3.8 million. So what did he come up with? He delivered two indictments, both of people no one ever would have heard of and both for the crime of lying to investigators. On Tuesday, one of them, lawyer Michael Sussmann, was acquitted by a federal jury. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/31/durham-flop-trump-coverup-failures/The experience of the trial left me with three main impressions: First, that the case against Sussmann was not just weak but was frankly beneath the standards of reasonable federal prosecution; second, that the case was only glancingly about Sussmann and his supposed lie at all; rather, third, the case was fundamentally about displacing the conventional worldview associated with the Trump scandals and establishing the respectability of the insurgent Trumpist counter-narrative. In that effort, as with the effort to convict Sussmann, Durham has failed. www.lawfareblog.com/thoughts-michael-sussmann-verdict
