The details will come out in court. Major fact, immunity was granted. Game changer. Game over.

Not a lot of influence. Very little influence. If not for the fact that a speaker nominee needs all but 4 Republican votes to get elected, the militant Trump fanatics who have no interest in actually governing would have no influence at all. And the only influence they actually have comes from...

Yes, the walls are closing in. It takes time for the cases to work their way through the courts. This Meadows development moves things in that direction. As a witness, Meadows will be devastating to Trump's defense.

Another One Comes and Goes Emmer's out of the House Speaker race. Who's next? Can the Republicans elect anyone?

From my independent, non-Republican point of view, Emmer seems like a decent choice for the Republicans to make. He has lots of experience in the House and many positive relationships built up over time. He has good fundraising chops (something important to politicians, it seems). He's not a...

Another Trump Attorney Pleads Guilty Jenna Ellis just plead out. Her Statement is below (emphasis mine). The other lawyers with many more years of experience she mentions includes Guiliani. "Thank you, Your Honor, for the opportunity to address the court. As an attorney who is also a...

The Five Republican Families in the US House I don't know if this characterization of the US House Republican caucus is helpful or not. It is interesting. But labeling presents a hazard. When you label something, you tend to defend the label and lose sight of the underlying facts. You tell me...

Face-Off Michael Cohen is testifying in the NY fraud trial today and Trump will attend. Cohen will be a calm, unintimidated, articulate witness whose testimony will be corroborated by documentary evidence. Trump has been previously admonished by the court for his disruptive behavior as he sits...

Breakthrough in House Republican Caucus Another day has passed. In a creative breakthrough, House Republicans found a new way to prove to the American people that they cannot govern. They reduced their field of nine speaker candidates to eight.

Wow, MSNBC sets you off, doesn't it? I intentionally stuck to cold hard facts to avoid this kind of response. It's not hard to determine that this is the worst leadership crisis since the Civil War. All you have to do is count the number of days the House has been without a speaker. That's all...

They want every US citizen to vote, even as Republicans consistently engage in voter suppression. The more citizens that show up to vote or vote by mail, the better, they believe. They also believe no one who is ineligible to be on the ballot should be on the ballot. A person who has not...

An Important 14th Amendment Legal Point Has Been Made "On Friday, Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace rejected three arguments by Trump and the Colorado GOP to dismiss the case before the scheduled October 30 trial date. One of the most powerful points the judge made was rebuffing the...

Trump: "Powell Was Never My Attorney" After Sidney Powell recorded a proffer tape, pleaded guilty, and agreed to testify (flipped) in the GA RICO case, Trump comes out to say Powell was never his attorney. He correctly points out that Powell's name never appeared on any court documents filed...

And Then There Were Nine With the US House speaker's chair still vacant, House Republicans are meeting Monday, 6:30 PM Eastern Time to decide which of the nine new candidates for the job will get the nod. These meetings have not gone particularly well in the last couple weeks. What might be...

I think you do.

I'm not going to debate the details of something neither you nor I can know. Suffice it to say both candidates, by virtue of their age, are at risk for a variety of health conditions, including a debilitating stroke or death.

Historical Perspective The current Republican House leadership collapse should not be viewed in isolation. Historical context is helpful. Two points from these MSNBC guests: There has not been a leadership crisis as serious as this in the US House since before the Civil War. This is a feature...

Polls now are irrelevant except as they apply to the Republican primary horse race. They say nothing about how people will actually vote over a year from now. Given their ages and health, we don't even know if Trump and Biden will be candidates. Court cases are highly relevant. They determine...
