31. What the hell did you just link to?????

I'd open the DU thread to link to a twitter thread that might link to a story about someone in Colorado, yadda yadda yadda. Then my older than dirt computer will crash because it's trying to load 4 windows (not to mention all the ads that come with them).

I'll say this: you're pretty much making my point for me.

The so-called "confessions" you've mentioned won't stand up in court. The defense will argue "political speech" (aka "The Tucker Carlson defense" ) which Carlson (and Maddow for that matter) have used in court and won with.

And Haberman's book isn't going to help either because that would require her to name her sources (and if she does that, she'll never get another source again).

The reason it's taking so long (IF IT HAPPENS AT ALL) is because a swing and a miss means GAME OVER for this one. (You'd think I was some sort of sports fanatic w/ all the metaphors I've used in this discussion.)

"Excuses" are worth considering if it means we get this one right.

A perp walk is meaningless unless he's convicted.
