Trump/Russia was never a hoax.
Crazy. License to cheat. Lawyers should be accountable for their clients’ compliance with court orders. If the client won’t comply, you fix that or leave the client.

The Court That Dark Money Built still responds to dark money, through flotillas of dark-money-funded front groups that file orchestrated “amicus” briefs — and they win pretty much every time. It’s a racket.

Best wishes for full and speedy recovery to Pope Leo as he returns home from the hospital.
Putin bombs maternity hospitals; Trump claims Ukraine’s attacks on the refineries fueling Putin’s war machine are a “disgrace.” It’s sick. www.bbc.com/news/article...
