-Lurid Crime Tales-
Even Dems Wonder: WTF, Fani?
[Hot Air] The revelations of Fani Willis reportedly having a close personal relationship with the special prosecutor she hired for her case against former President Donald Trump has even Democrats lamenting the impropriety, bad optics, and presentation of political bias.

"I’d tell her to get out of the case," former U.S. Attorney in Georgia Michael Moore, a Democrat, told CNN. "I really think in this type of case with these allegations, this case is bigger than any one prosecutor. ...

Even CNN’s reporting acknowledged the hiring of Wade as an outside prosecutor was precarious from the start, with Georgia lawyers wondering, "Why him?"

They have apparently found out, allegedly, to deleterious results.

#1  Did she use a cubby while visiting the WH ?

Asking for a friend.

#2  Is it just my impression, or a lot more (percentage wise) "African-American" D-politicians than any other group of D-politicians end in jail?

#5  This is fake outrage. The Democrats encouraged / demanded widespread lawfare against Trump; they can't now complain about the results.

#8  Expecting honesty and integrity from a gummint official? Really?

#9  Spinning Plates?

And now for a reallly, realllly big shoe with spinning plates and guest commentator Topogigo.
The legal cases against Trump have to continue at least thru early November in order to keep it front and center in the media.

[the other] Biden suggests Republicans in Congress have worsened migrant crisis and admits 'I think we have to make major changes in the border'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] It’s very expensive to mismanage the border as he has done thus far, so he blames the Republicans for refusing to give him more to make it even worse.

#1  They will replace Joe soon. He remains an egotistical, incompetent liar as always, but he is now senile so Joe no longer has the mental agility to shift blame. He can’t remember his policy or the names of his friends or enemies. If you gave Biden three words to remember throughout a conversation, he might remember one if the word is pudding.

John Kerry Quits White House Climate Envoy Job.
[Nat'l Pulse] John Kerry, President Biden’s special envoy for climate, is planning to step down from the Biden regime by spring, as told by two people privy to his plans. Serving as the principal diplomat on climate change since 2021, Kerry’s primary role has been to persuade worldwide governments to significantly reduce their greenhouse emissions. During his tenure, he led the U.S. team at three UN climate summits, reestablishing American declinism after the U.S.’ withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement under the Trump administration.

Kerry also championed cooperation between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party.

#2  Kerry also championed cooperation between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party.

And the North Vietnamese some years back.

#3  Kerry is quitting to campaign for Biden. John will be interacting with regular Americans to convince them that there are worse alternatives than Joe. I like his chances.

#7  "Wise is he who bails on a long-running grift just before the wheels come off."
-- Lao Tsu or somebody

People are getting tired Global Warming Climate Change. Everybody loves a good apocalypse scare but you can't keep putting it off for 10 or 15 years at a time without people losing interest.

#8  The only reason JFnK would abandon the climate grift is he sees liability on the horizon. Or a better grift just up ahead.

#9  without people losing interest

See what happened to UFOs.

#10  White House: Secretary Austin's doctors think he may need additional care

Medical retirement?

#12  Austin's doctors think he may need additional care

Interesting. I still think he got damaged on a secret trip to Kiev and that is why we have not seen him.
Prediction: When he does show up in public, he will have a black eye from a recent 'treadmill accident'.
Posted by: SteveS || 01/14/2024 16:54 Comments || Top||

#13  I suspect the people actually running things felt Austin was fine when a DEI schlub place holder was all they needed. Now that things are kicked up several notches, they didn't need him in the way and didn't need him as a scapegoat, so he's under house arrest at Walter Reed.

#15  "part of that is just physical therapy"

What's the other part, Kirby?
