Big-Boy Federal Felonies

Listen now | The indictment you've been waiting for is here.

Serious Trouble
@Popehat We need a klaxxon alert
@Gojira1000 Lt. Reed, is that you? #StarTrek Enterprise 🚨🎉🚨🎉
@Popehat RAPID UNSCHEDULED BROADCAST
@Popehat You can call it an emergency podcast. This is Mastodon Ken. Josh can’t hurt you over here. His shrill mayonnaise cries have no power on Mastodon.

@Women4Popehat @Popehat I listened at 1.25 speed since it was an emergency.

Keith had an emergency podcast too: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-countdown-with-keith-olbe-99705496/

Countdown with Keith Olbermann | iHeart

“Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” the landmark news and commentary program that reordered the world of cable news, returns as a daily podcast. Olbermann’s daily news-driven mix will include his trademark “Special Comment” political analysis, the tongue-in-cheek “Worst Persons In The World” segment, and his timeless readings from the works of the immortal James Thurber. The man who turned SportsCenter into a cultural phenomenon will broaden the content to include a daily sports segment, a daily call for help for a suffering dog, and a remarkable series of anecdotes covering a career that stretched from covering the 1980 Olympic Miracle on Ice a month after his 21st birthday, to anchoring the 2009 Presidential Inauguration and the 2009 Super Bowl pre-game show in a span of just twelve days, to rejoining ESPN as a “rookie” baseball play-by-play man at the age of 59.

It's like Trump was a double agent for the FBI. Totally entrapping himself. That's...gonna be his defense isn't it?

Seriously, at what point does an uncontrollable, utter dumbass become incapable of contributing to his own defense?

@rjblaskiewicz @Popehat Maybe he's doing this as a plan to get himself sent to a secret prison colony where he will break up an underground fighting ring.
@Popehat Why does indictment leave us hanging wrt what happened to boxes that went to Bedminster? Is this another shoe to drop or did I miss a search there?
@magoo @Popehat IIRC, after the FBI searched Mar-a-Largo, Trump's lawyers then conducted a second search of all his other properties and handed over more documents that were "missed" the first time.
@Popehat it’s only an emergency podcast if it’s from the emergencè region of France, otherwise it’s a sparkling podcast.

@Popehat

I heard you get a toot during your podcast. 😂​

@Popehat This episode was so upsetting. I should have never listened to this before bedtime. 😳
@Popehat Of course Trump is a colossal buffoon and everything about this case is as farcical as it is egregious, but the thing that gets me the most, the dumbest aspect of the dumbest ever crime spree: has Trump never heard of photocopiers?
@goodape @Popehat I can only guess it's because he doesn't want to sell reproductions? His potential clients (or at least people he wants to influence) are better swayed by a real doc, at least in his mind?

@Popehat Dude! You have a show again?! This is a little good news after a shitty week. Thank you!

… and I guess thanks go to Josh, too.

@Runningpunk Thanks! It’s a year old now.
@Popehat it seems like there’s no reason for Judge Cannon not to tank this case without even feeling like she needs a legal fig leaf to do so. Is the only hope that she makes some early ruling that is, on its face, so biased that the 11th circuit steps in on its own?
@Popehat Thanks for the episode! Unbelievable the number of ways Judge Cannon can tank this. Ah well, nevertheless...
@Popehat Great episode! Left me wondering, though…could Biden admin game the judge issue by raising her up to the appellate level? Or some other way of making her ineligible to hear this kind of case?
