Amen. Thank you.
Good morning, lysie!
You outdid yourself this morning!
French toast plus BACON?!
My head just exploded!
Thank you!
From FL lawyer Jeff Childers’ daily COVID email yesterday, about the Jan. 6th committee:
___________________________________________________________
“In what SHOULD have the big story yesterday, the House’s January 6 investigators filed a motion in one of the lawsuits that finally laid out at least part of their awesome theory. The House’s lawyers claimed that President Trump “engaged in criminal conspiracy” with unnamed allies to attack the Capitol and “overturn” the election.
To date, they’ve been very coy with their theory of criminal liability, even though many — including me — believed that they were working on just that objective. But John Eastman, a lawyer advising Trump at the time, invoked attorney-client privilege over some documents that the House wants. One of the ways the House’s lawyers responded was to invoke a doctrine that can defeat attorney-client privilege called the “crime-fraud exception.”
To get somebody’s privileged information using the “crime-fraud exception,” you have to show it is likely they used their attorney to commit a crime or fraud. So the committee has come up with some crimes and frauds to try to get at Trump’s attorney-client privileged information.
They named three crimes: Obstruction of a government process, defrauding the US, and, believe it or not, common-law fraud. All of these are described in the context of a conspiracy, which means the House has its baleful sights set on a bunch of other people, too. Maybe a whole lot of them. Specifically, the committee claimed it “has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.”
These three crimes may not be ALL the crimes that the House is cooking up. They are just ones it needs to beat Eastman’s invocation of attorney-client privilege. And, according to the House’s brief, it was the D.C. JUDGE who suggested that they consider using the crime-fraud exception. Very helpful.
This is a watershed or inflection point of some kind, because until now, the House investigators have diligently obscured all sign that they were considering ANY criminal conduct of any kind, because now that’s out, every other person who they want to depose has a perfectly valid Fifth Amendment defense. From this point, anyone contacted by the House should strongly consider these developments.”
Delicious - thanks, lysie!
Gonna tune in to see those patriotic American truckers today!
Glad you got all moved in, Jem. Please tell me that you’re sure you weren’t followed. I hope those creeps can’t find you now.

So a sitting US Senator can call for an assassination using his official US Senate Twitter account and that doesn’t violate the terms of service? But I can’t raise concerns about vaccine side effects? Huh.

Western Strategy to deal with Ukraine:
1) Accuse all who criticize our role in this conflict of Russian Puppetry
2) Have journalists rewrite history and pretend we never provided assurances to Russia that NATO would never expand eastward.
3) Shift focus to race & LGBT issues

Hilarious watching Liberals foam-at-the-mouth and have nuclear meltdowns over Ukraine - after years of spewing hatred for the USA.
Delete monkey. I really wonder what’s going to happen when they all hit DC. I think Biden will have something planned and it won’t be good. I think he will try to save face. Or at least his handlers will.

All senators will join Ukraianian ldr Zelenskyy on a virtual conference call this morning
How sweet!
👍👍
I agree with you.
These same Senators could not be bothered to fight Biden’s illegal mandates or to investigate a stolen election.
But they must listen to their boy in the Ukraine and give him another $6 billion, plus add-ons for “COVID” to total $32 billion.
Reminds me of this clip from Blazing Saddles (1974):

I was a Democrat when Trump got elected. The media & my fellow Democrats told me Trump would weaponize the government against vulnerable people. They said he’d “round up gay people & put us in jail”.
Everything I was afraid could happen under Trump has happened to me under Biden.
Honk honk, that was great! Thanks!
Thanks for the explanation.
