has been so silent since coming back from her car where she smokes a few ciggs and a listens to talk radio. Poor thing actually thinks its the smell of cigarettes we're all avoiding when she's around.

That said, channeling my wife who lives in my brain, "Linn Wood flipped years ago, there's just no official diagnosis yet."

Newspaper clippings, photos, and handwritten notes all stuck to the wall behind a net of tacked string forming some right-wing media-inspired network of crazy Republican bullshit. But here's to hoping he fingers Dumbard Trump.

Because he's still the presumptive nominee for the repukes.

January 6th was his Beer Hall Putsch.

The Heritage Foundation is publishing his Mein Kampf.

If he gets in power and passes his Nuremberg Laws, we're all in a world of shit.

People celebrating having Lin Wood on our side... oy.

The mere fact that he is on a list of witnesses that may be called merely means that he is on a list of witnesses that may be called.

I don’t think anyone is celebrating Lin Wood on our side.

However, I do think they are celebrating the news that Lin Wood has flipped on his boss.


I’m on the fence about whether Lin Wood’s testimony is needed, and whether or not it is credible.

Putting his name on the list simply reserves the right to call him as a witness.

He has said that there were election lawsuits with his name on them which he did not authorize. That might, or might not, turn out to be a useful fact in one of the prosecutions.

But I don't get where people are getting this "flipped" nonsense.

He has been identified as someone the prosecutor may compel to testify as a witness. That's all.

“I didn’t flip on President Trump. That’s just pure nonsense,” Wood told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I wouldn’t have any knowledge to flip on him.”

Wood said he has been told he will be subpoenaed by the prosecution, but he has not had any conversations with Willis about what questions he will be asked.

If he is called to testify, it wouldn’t be the first time. Wood testified before the Fulton County special purpose grand jury, which conducted an eight-month investigation into alleged crimes surrounding Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia and elsewhere.


The only reason for listing him, in this context, is that he is a former client of one of the attorneys representing a defendant in the case:

https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/lin-wood-trump-georgia-racketeering-witness-rcna108009

Here’s why Fani Willis just listed Lin Wood as a state witness


The Fulton County prosecutor raised possible conflicts of interest for several defense attorneys. Wood is tangled in the MAGA web.


It was to provide notice in the event that he is subpoenaed to testify, since he was a grand jury witness.

Such cartwheels and expressions of glee are premature. These people are snakes.

Consider this more deeply: "Flipping" in appearance only? Might his role at this point is to contradict prosecutorial allegations, confound evidence, and confuse jurors?

Just sayin'. Be measured.

Thank you, Lin Wood. You are the best Republican I know.

I have not seen this anywhere on the internet but here and as usual there is proof to back it up.

This is the biggest reason this is still my 1st and last site for info no matter where else I see it. DU has been like this since I joined in 06-07 (previous account got compromised in the great hack of 2016.)

Anyway this is very surprising. I thought him to be one of the truest converts DT had which explains the sheer insanity this man has displayed over and over.

The government needs to hold this agreement to the letter, zero tolerance for any incursion of terms. Don’t think for a second that Lin does not hold you in utter contempt and feels he is far superior to you. He would w/o hesitation drop just enough bread crumbs to front usefulness only to cut that off at the knees at the most opportune moment.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
