WTF was Kushner doing performing duties in our federal government when he couldn't even qualify for a security clearance???

A great character actor.

Cohen is like the kid who stopped by for trick or treat on Halloween night and was told no treats. Then later he finds out the same house put out a bowl of pardons, errr, treats, and everyone got one.

We need a list of those requests. Damning information.

That will happen the day after never. Garland needs to get the hook and replaced by a non-Federalist Society AG. Our democracy will be dead and buried if we wait for Garland to get his fucking ass in gear. If I am wrong I will apologize and I hope I will have to but I doubt it at this time.

I try to be optimistic about the DOJ but something is off. Tfg pretty much took a ramrod to it but it needs to recover as more n more issues are needing attention.

I’ll grant you that the DOJ has a lot on their plate but come on. We are running out of time.

It was not until I heard it replayed today that I did the double-take. He was focused on amassing pardons for his fellow felons while the US government was being violently overthrown.

Later, on Deadline Whitehouse, one of Nicolle’s guests was Frank Figliuzzi — who never smiles, and when he watched Jared he couldn’t stop himself from breaking into a smile and then a grin. Among his comments was Jared reminded him of so many perps he’s dealt with — his affect, his face, his body language. Frank wanted to just say to him, “Straighten up you sniveling little —! I’m interviewing you.”

It was a moment.

That must be why I stop and listen to him since I know he's deadly serious. And I did notice that part of what Jared said and wondered about it - since I remembered that they brought in someone new just to approve his security clearance! Let's hope that he's next on the list - or did he receive a pass because he agreed to testify??

I'm relieved and grateful that the country is finally dealing with the nightmare of the previous four years and I think that what we heard last night gave us hope - and this was only the beginning!
