Bear in mind, Boasberg is huge MAGA target over his MAGA DOJ contempt investigation. They will stop at nothing to stop his hearing. This grubby self-dealing feeds the frenzy by making the judge’s perfectly legal conduct illegal after the fact.
The pile of lies is stunning. First, no crimes at 1/6. Second, wrong to investigate. Third, unusual to get toll records of people instigators called. Fourth, wrong to suspend notice while investigation ongoing. Cherry on top: vote yourself $500k as victim of nothing wrong.
Looks like “Club Fed” Ghislaine Maxwell knew her visit by Trump lawyer/“DAG” Todd Blanche was going to be a “softie interview,” never asserting Fifth Amendment rights she now asserts faced with House questioning.
Remember that before the list there was war between House of Koch and House of Trump. After the list there was peace. Do the math. The most logical conclusion is a deal where Kochs got to pick Trump’s nominees, using Federalist Society as camouflage for a transaction.
The climate crisis demands urgent action. Yet the Trump Administration continues to ignore science, abandon our commitments and leave communities to suffer. Standing with @whitehouse.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, we made it clear that America must lead the world—not walk away from it.
Meanwhile, Trump purposefully drives up consumers’ electricity costs by suppressing clean energy on the grid, forcing grid operators to go to more-expensive fossil fuel units. Money goes straight from ratepayers’ pockets to his big fossil fuel donors. Sweet scam. apnews.com/article/trum...
