On the upside maybe the heat will keep Anchorage’s large criminal population* from conducting business.

It’s more like they should quit if they have any self-respect. As a lawyer all you really have at the end of the day is your reputation. I suppose they don’t care, they’ll just end up with some highly paid job at a pro-GOP K Street firm and take their solace in large checks. 

Nothing. But the District Judge that issued the order the SCOTUS upheld can hold Wilbur Ross in contempt and throw his ass in jail.

And then turned around and indicted the victim, something the prosecution didn’t ask for. When that happens the DA should just refuse to write up an indictment for the GJ. Instruct them there’s no basis in law (assuming there isn’t) and tell them to go home. And don’t hold another GJ until after that GJ’s time…

She committed obstruction, on a plane with the laptop. This isn't exactly three dimensional Clue.

PHMSA is really just the pipeline owner protection bureau. Their regulations are indecipherable. Now they’re taking a page out of the pet industry playbook that shut down PETA protests with ten year mandatory sentences. Protest a pipeline go to jail, but if the owner of the pipeline negligently operates the pipeline…

Moving David Tracy to CA would be like one giant rust rehab clinic he couldn't escape from.

I wish I had not read Dark Money. I sort of knew what was going on, but the book left me feeling utterly hopeless. They played the long game and won. Not sure that tanker can be turned around in my lifetime.

His administration doesn’t give a fuck about birds. Since the 90s DOJ had been prosecuting corporations under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act for “taking” (killing) birds in industrial processes including wind farms. Those prosecutions were routinely upheld by appellate courts. Trump had DOJ put in place a policy…

Not only that, but under US v. Henthorn, 931 F2d 29 (1991) the cops would have to give up Guyger’s personnel file in those other cases. I’m betting they don’t want that info out. If for no other reason it may screw with their prosecution of Guyger.

90 percent of the trout you see on menus comes from trout farms in Idaho. Most of the farms are in the Thousand Springs area where water from the distant mountains comes gushing out of the basalt into the Snake River canyon. Really clean water until it leaves the fish raceways and dumps into the Snake. Sustainable? I…

I stopped watching PBS because of him. I figured if he was their go to pundit on Fridays the rest of the week can’t have much worthwhile content.

But her truants... y'all going to hand Mango Unchained a second term.

Is there a German word for this? Schaudentügen?

In fairness Barr did put it right up top on his resumé under the "Objectives" bullet- coverup crimes.

He would have resigned in February, but he couldn't remember which of three agencies he worked for.

Had to scroll back up to see where this happened. Oh.. OK. OK, I get it. MAGAland.

It is a positive thing in Trump’s circle if the goal is not to run a casino, but to run it into the ground, then have the trustee pay off the co-conspirators (aka secured “creditors) all that money people delivered in wheelbarrows, some, maybe lots, from shady sources. Judge approves the payments to the creditors. Now…

When I worked for the feds we were not allowed to take side gigs like teaching because doing so would (allegedly) interfere with our very busy day jobs. Apparently they don’t have enough to do at the SCOTUS.

There's a few pitchfork and torch ETFs out there that are better bets for your 401K.
