Her personal laptop probably had the juiciest love letters to you know who...also the most explicit confessions of misconduct and lawbreaking. Will it matter? Who knows? I'm seriously asking... who knows?
DOVER, Del. – A Delaware judge has chastised prosecutors for failing to turn over information to the defense in a criminal corruption case against State Auditor Kathy McGuiness, issuing a ruling that also exposed weaknesses in the state’s cyber forensic capabilities. In a ruling on Wednesday, Superior Court Judge William Carpenter Jr. prohibited prosecutors from using material from three laptops that were seized during a search of McGuiness’ officer in September 2021. Carpenter said that prohibition was an appropriate sanction for prosecutors’ failure to provide information contained on laptops to the defense until April 6th, more than six months after the search. However, Carpenter refused to grant a defense motion to dismiss the indictment against McGuiness.

Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s top election official, faced an onslaught of threats after the 2020 presidential election for refusing to overturn results that showed Joe Biden had won the state. In those hectic weeks, she says she also received an especially disturbing piece of information: President Donald Trump suggested in a White House meeting that she should be arrested for treason and executed.

I suppose the one good thing you can say about Republicans is that they are utterly transparent. There is no pretense or shiftiness. At this point, you'd have to be a Chris Coons to not see the "1+1=2" political calculus at the heart of the "Let's allow babies to starve to hurt Joe Biden" strategy.

It’s a populist working class party now: House GOP leaders were among the 192 Republicans who voted against providing $28 million in aid to the Food and Drug Administration to address the shortage of baby formula — within days of criticizing President Biden for not doing enough on the issue. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Whip Steve Scalise (La.) and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) voted late Wednesday against the measure to provide new FDA funding, which the House approved on a largely party-line vote of 231 to 192. Twelve Republicans broke ranks and joined with Democrats in backing the money. Barney Frank’s dictum that for Republicans life begins at conception and ends at birth is one of the most enduring truths ever spoken.

Every time you read the word "Republican" substitute "White Supremacist" and you take a step closer to the truth:
Via Twitter - @chriscoons Presided over a vital hearing yesterday with my white supremacist colleague @LindsayGrahamSC. The world is counting on the US to lead the way in fighting global hunger and COVID-19. It’s crucial for Americans’ safety and security that we fully fund our response to these threats.
During a Monday appearance on David Brody’s Real America’s Voice show The Water Cooler, Oz committed the cardinal sin of both admitting he hasn’t seen Dinesh D’Souza’s misinformation-filled “documentary” 2000 Mulesand refusing to use the words “rigged” or “stolen” when referring to the 2020 election.
