Sometimes this job is pretty cool.
Attorney Greg Hunter (@GTH) came onboard late in the case as standby counsel and wound up today as one of only two attorneys who can say their Jan. 6 client was acquitted on all counts.
I asked outside of court if he saw the acquittal coming:
The best part of this is watching so many fools who couldn’t point the War Colleges out on a map trying to tell one of their most famous professors that he’s wrong, either because Trump is a genius or because Tom isn’t lefty enough. Just glorious.
This war will be taught at War Colleges (assuming they still exist) and strategic studies programs for years to come as *the* case study in how operational successes do not lead to strategic victory.

Whoever that was should have Googled the name "Robert Bork" first. Everyone in the Public Integrity Section who was (and still is) in danger of getting fired should read about him.
Nothing good comes from this.
According to Reuters, a career prosecutor agreed to sign the motion to dismiss the Adams case to spare the others. But the judge can hold a hearing before granting the motion and ask for an explanation.

True story - took my dad to Moscow 20 years ago and he got arrested for not having his passport. It was a shakedown for a bribe, and there was never a second that I felt like I was gonna lose anything more than a little money. The cops were actually kinda friendly.
Not anymore.

Before y'all go reading garbage from randos about what's going on in Makhachkala, see what @jillrussia has to say. She actually knows what she's talking about.

And yet still not a complete list. Mighty impressive though. Guys like @MacFarlaneNews are doing us a service - keeping track of the individual stories of January 6 helps put everything in the proper context.
“Armed insurrection”
Items carried at US Capitol by some in the mob, per court filings:
Guns, bear spray, hockey stick, baseball bat, taser, sharpened flagpole, knives, scissors, tourniquet, plastic knuckles, lacrosse stick

Is this @HeatherMcD4's work? Because it looks like it.

"Did you see how viral that went?"

These are the days when my faith in humanity is renewed.
I'm not kidding. This makes me much happier than it should.
Coca-Cola products are set to come to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, according to a source with direct knowledge of the negotiations, replacing Pepsi as the ballpark’s beverage provider.

I cannot overstate how meaningless this estimate is. The government hasn’t scripted or practiced any witness examinations yet, or seen anything from the defense that might make them reassess. So it’s a guess, and in a sui generis case at that. No one will care if they’re wrong.
In Jan 6 prosecution of Donald Trump, court ordered that by *Thursday*, the special counsel “shall file a brief proposing a trial date and providing an estimate of the time required to set forth the prosecution's case in chief during that trial”

The State of Maryland should add a zero to this and fund part of that with a portion of the pensions of all the cops and prosecutors involved in the original case.
A Maryland board approved $2.9 million in compensation for a man who was wrongly imprisoned for 32 years, including a decade on death row, for two murders he did not commit. nbc4dc.com/Lynml4j

Over the years I’ve been arrested and had my drivers license suspended on behalf of a dude with the same name. And I’m not within 6’ or 100 lbs. of his description. If I wasn’t a lawyer, well, both of those interactions would have been a lot less pleasant.
David Sosa of Florida has been twice arrested on a 20-year-old warrant for David Sosa of Texas. The Eleventh Circuit said holding the wrong guy in jail for 3 days was no big deal, so he's seeking SCOTUS review. Today, @IJ filed a brief on behalf of David Sosas. Like, all of them.

I was born in Miami. I love Miami.
But this is 100% true and no one should forget it. Miami is a weird place.
3/ Miami is a hotbed of Trump voters, supporters, skells, dreamers, boat-paraders, cultists, and people terrified of dead communists and imaginary communism.
The baseline of tolerable corruption in Miami makes normies heads spin.

This is exactly correct. BOP inmates who complete programs and participate in "productive activities" get time deducted from their sentence pursuant to the First Step Act. There was no judicial intervention, and this had nothing to do with the videos shown on Fox.
Noting for those who are asking.
Bureau of Prisons has been incrementally inching up Chansley release date… as happens with many federal prison inmates who accrue time credit thru their sentences.
This is not something that began shifting via Tucker Carlson

I do love watching the Red Sox fans boo their own team. Boston Strong indeed. #birdland

Hey there @masnOrioles, looks like one of the top relievers in franchise history might be looking for a job…
It’s been a wild ride that I never thought I’d get to experience, but it’s finally time to hang ‘em up.
