The more apt question is whether the bankruptcy trustee will determine that the Sacklers have been engaged in fraudulent conveyance by wiring money out of the company and into various entities that they control. That kind of bankruptcy fraud isn't criminal, but it is civilly actionable. Even a crim...

What happened to kangaroo meat?

Their check bounced.

But is he covering for himself, or for someone he'd bother to care enough to protect? Everyone else gets tossed under the bus but his kids... Can this person find his/her way to speak directly to Congress? Not easily. Whisteblowing in the domain of national security is, by definition, a violation o...

Purdue Pharma, to no one's surprise, filed bankruptcy late last night. Just after shaking hands on a bunch of settlements. Nice. Meanwhile, the NY AG's office is investigating the Sackler family for wiring at least a billion dollars out of the company to offshore banks and assorted pass-through enti...

So the FBI's secure commo systems were utterly compromised by the SVR and GRU at exactly the same time that the Bureau's New York Field Office was leaking absolutely everything under the sun that could conceivably damage Hilary Clinton. Which just so happened to overlap with the concerted effort by ...

This administration's norm-breaking continues apace. Now even the old adage that federal prosecutors can indict a ham sandwich is being called into question.

The Daily Beast has a feature up about the uncomfortable relationship between the Trump White House and QAnon. Team Trump Wrestles With Its QAnon Problem :snippity: To Team Trump, though, QAnon diehards who adore Trump and garner media coverage and camera shots at his 2020 rallies have been a longti...

I'm just stunned that there is overlap between Q-types and Truthers. Stunned, I tell you.

:snippity: 4. I think this is going to help me personally. :blink: :boxing: Again this year, I am the coordinator for the State Fair booth of the NCDP next month. I'll be the coordinator next year too, unless I get hit by several trucks (one will NOT be enough). Next year is going to be exciting an...

I feel another Gilbert & Sullivan parody coming on in tribute to Bolton. Somehow, the Lord Chancellor's Nightmare Song ( here's a link to a good performance of it for those not familiar) from Iolanthe seems appropriate. Particularly in light of Tucker Carlson calling him "a man of the left" and "a t...

My heavens, a sensible plan.

:lol: I guess algorithmic trading has its uses. CNN: John Bolton was fired, and the price of oil instantly fell New York (CNN Business) - Oil prices fell swiftly on Tuesday after President Donald Trump fired Iran hawk John Bolton as national security adviser. The surprise exit of Bolton prompted spe...

Why can't I throw poop at the wall to get my clients' sentencing hearings delayed for a full year?

Jim Acosta @Acosta · 11m Senior admin officials say a factor in Bolton’s firing was that Trump and Pence were upset that Bolton’s team had made it sound as though the VP opposed the Taliban meeting at Camp David. VP made it clear in tweet he supported such a move. Would anyone put it past Pence to ...

NSA isn't a cabinet-level post. It's White House staff. So Kellyanne, Jared, Ivanka, Miller, etc. all have him beat.

My early pick for replacement is (and I'm not kidding) Seb Gorka.

No one serious is going to want the job. Trump is all-in on the sycophants now. And there's no confirmation process, so why the hell not?

So, in order to catch maybe a handful of ITAR violations, it is necessary to surrender the user data of tens of thousands of Americans to a government that has proved itself serially unable to keep any such data secure? How about no? (I speak as someone who was victimized by the OPM data breach a fe...

Holy crap, I got one right!

...

Oh, God. What lunatic is he going to hire for his National Security Advisor now?

Um, why exactly does the government want that information?

I'm hoping Bercow's decision to stand down (which has me very depressed) will make the Government reconsider their rumored position vis a vis withholding the peerage.

Good God, now Donald Trump is attacking Sanford on Twitter for...having an affair.

Hopefully, they'll be willing to actually use whatever dossier they have this time, instead of leaving it to Fusion GPS to start leaking it after the election.

This is being done by BoJo purely for spite. Bercow is standing down as speaker as soon as Brexit is resolved one way or the other. He has done nothing wrong. I hope the Tory opponent gets stomped like a piss ant. They've also signaled that the Government will not nominate Bercow for a peerage upon...

Wine, olives, cheese, meat, pasta. Mrs. FRP are going to get fucking slammed by those tariffs, because that's a considerable percentage of our monthly food consumption right there. And still no one in Congress is doing anything about the fact that imposing these tariffs is ultravires, because the Co...
