Rather more the final going, certainly not an over-sized Moses in a rush basket.

I think that was Steve McQueen in The Sand Pebbles. There is an old Chinese saying "You have to stand on a hill with your mouth open a long time before a duck flies in." Also, some Asian peoples used to throw their dead into rivers, which colors the saying somewhat.

The Republican National Committee is paying some personal legal bills for former president Donald Trump, spending party funds to pay a lawyer representing Trump in investigations into his financial practices in New York, a party spokeswoman said Monday.

In October, the RNC made two payments totaling $121,670 to the law firm of Ronald Fischetti, a veteran defense attorney whom Trump hired in April. According to a person with direct knowledge of the payments, the requests came earlier this summer but were voted on by the party’s executive committee only in recent weeks.

Fischetti has been representing Trump as he faces investigations by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. (D) and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D). There has been no indication that either investigation involves Trump’s time as president or any of his political campaigns.

So if we form the Fogbow Party and Foggy is our chairperson chairroooster, will the party pay for the legal fees incurred after our meetups?

I see as our party's logo a silhouette of a rooster a la Hitchcock.

“Ex-defense secretary sues over withheld material from Trump era memoir”:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... mark-esper

“The lawsuit contends that “significant text” in the memoir, scheduled for publication by William Morrow in May, is being improperly held under the guise of classification and that Esper maintains it contains no classified information. The suit notes that Esper is restricted by his secrecy agreements from authorising publication without Pentagon approval, or face possible civil and criminal liability.”

Does Biden have anything to do with approving or withholding Pentagon docs? It seems this would be something best decided by the (assumedly) nonpartisan DOD.

Biden isn't allowed to claim exective privilege anyway. He's a Democrat, you know.

Interesting thread.


THREAD: A wealth of new information about the intelligence briefings for Donald Trump and those around him as a presidential candidate in 2016, as president-elect in 2016-17, and as president has just hit the CIA’s public website.

Here are the most newsworthy details:

Reading the article, this has nothing to do with executive privilege but with the Pentegon review process. I suspect their process leans very heavily on the "when at all possible, redact" mentality. It does not matter what side of the aisle it involves. They are non-partisan in being overly restrictive.
