Apart from Perry’s own admission has there been any independent confirmation from the FBI or DOJ? I wouldn’t put it past the GQP to bald face lie to rally their base ahead of mid terms, following all the wins The D’s have had in the past week.

JHB lost to a trump wackadoo but this district is purple (regardless of what pollsters and pundits in the other Washington say) so let's hope it's flippable y'all.
Also hi, I haven't been around as I've needed a bit of politics despite due to aforementioned terrifying primary.

Az is to bus asylum seekers to DC At 3 million so far This is so stupid because, no, of course we can't handle buses full of people just being dropped off here. At the border, there are CBP and ORR facilities designed to hold or detain people. Because it's the border. We have no such facilities here. Idiots. Eta: not you, Amy, the politicians who think this is some sort of "gotcha"

Ok but in a civil suit I thought taking the 5th could be used against you?

Ok but in a civil suit I thought taking the 5th could be used against you? yes. An adverse inference can be requested when someone invokes the 5th in a civil trial. Still probably better for him than letting him open his mouth.

Our local county attorney races have gotten very interesting after last night. I don't know how I feel about the one that affects my job, honestly. We'll see. I personally know one of the front runners for the Hennepin County race from my previous employment so that's weird.

I’m disappointed he didn’t make the cut.

I’m disappointed he didn’t make the cut. I think Winkler could have been a good option. PDQ I worked with MHD - not directly but my boss frequently spoke to her and we'd be in her chambers and I knew her clerks pretty well. She has a lot of experience in that she was a top city prosecutor before becoming a judge and then obviously oversaw many different kinds of cases in the courtroom. I don't know much about Moriarty but I do like that she was in support of the referendum to restructure the MPD. It will be an interesting race for sure. Though based on the numbers, it seems like it is Moriarty's race to lose in Nov.

Eta: not you, Amy, the politicians who think this is some sort of "gotcha" Whatever could az do with $8k each bus trip for the last 3 months? And these people don't look at asylum seekers as like normal people looking for a better life. Think of them as illegal aliens who are criminals who should be stopped at the border and are ok with kids in cages. When they bus them out to DC they drop them off lose all contact with where they are for follow up for all the things to do for green cards or steps to citizenship So what's really the difference between az and the mules that transport them illegally from mexico further into us than our border?

Ummmmm holy cats Iran was trying to kill John Bolton Off to research this. ETA: Dang. I'm glad they caught the would be assassin. I mostly wanted to know why, because dude has been messing with Iran for decades. ETA#2: Not that his actions justify murder, just that there has been more than one on his part to piss off Iran and its leaders.

I'm pretty sure they only latched onto banana republic because it has a negative connotation (understandably) and neither they nor their followers really know what it means. They just know it's bad and use it as another catch phrase.

Really interesting point: snip I remember this being a thing especially in the wake of 1/6. I also feel in 2017 45 didnt extend Obamas citing he would never need to call on any former POTUS's or something, did I dream that?

'The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek. The officials, who have direct knowledge of the FBI's deliberations and were granted anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters, said the raid of Donald Trump's Florida residence was deliberately timed to occur when the former president was away.' www.newsweek.com/exclusive-informer-told-fbi-what-docs-trump-was-hiding-where-1732283
