emptywheelSince people are talking about how Jack Smith is focusing on lawyers, reupping piece from [👀] January noting how--at that point--at least 25 lawyers were subjects or witnesses.
At every stage this has provably added time to the investigation.

“Deplorable”: Former Sen. Doug Jones Slams Tuberville for Defending White Nationalists in Military
As President Biden warned Saturday that white supremacy is the “most dangerous terrorist threat” facing the United States, and members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front marched Sunday on the National Mall, we look at how Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama is under fire for expressing support for white nationalists in the U.S. military. Tuberville is a major backer of Donald Trump. In 2020, he defeated Democrat Doug Jones, who served in the Senate from 2018 to 2021 and was a U.S. attorney who successfully prosecuted two members of the Ku Klux Klan involved in the 1963 Birmingham, Alabama, church bombing that killed four girls. We get response to Tuberville from Jones and look at white supremacists in the military and more with Southern Poverty Law Center senior investigative reporter Michael Edison Hayden.

Seth CotlarDeSantis just appointed a fascist propagandist to the board of what used to be an excellent liberal arts college in Florida. Just an enormous FU troll move.
Rufo is the architect of the anti-intellectual and racist anti-CRT campaign. When Rufo was looking for an assistant he hired a guy who got in hot water as a College Republican for tweeting about the threat of “GloboHomo,” a combination antisemitic and homophobic slur generally only used in neo-Nazi circles.
david robertsA 31-year-old man named Jacoby Pillow has just died inside the jail in downtown Houston. 28 people died there in 2022, most of them because their families didn't have enough cash to pay what local judges and DAs demanded. Jacoby was accused of misdemeanor trespassing.

Today in the archive I found a 57-page manifesto written in 1993 by a Christian Nationalist conservative from Southern Oregon. It was intended to be a campaign document for their run for OR Governor as an independent in 1994. Like Walter Huss, the person they sent this document to, the author felt like the Republican Party under GHWB had left them, become too liberal in its effort to court a more "diverse" electorate. This "independent" is still alive and you'll never guess his politics today.
Jay RosenSemafor said today that "a critical mass of conservatives do not trust McCarthy to lead them..."
Conservatives. Is that what they are?
John Boehner's description of the same crowd in his memoir:
"What they're really interested in is chaos... They want to throw sand in the gears of the hated federal government until it fails."
Are the sowers of chaos properly called "conservatives?"
Is MAGA conservative?
Why do #journalists with a commitment to accuracy maintain this fiction?
