One day after a judge threatened to hold a hearing that could have put Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros on the stand, his office moved to avoid it by permanently dropping charges against two defendants in a massive fraud case. From @Suntimes: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2…

A federal prosecutor excused a grand juror who called the "Broadview Six" case a “crock of sh--.” Asked if the feds get "unlimited tries" to indict, she said, "I don't think we have to worry.” She said, "I don't charge people unless I'm absolutely sure": chicago.suntimes.com/immigra…

Funniest comment on #SOTU, I think, was from Factbase of Roll Call: Trump's 1 hr 47 min speech was exactly the length of Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "Psycho".

SCOOP: Days before the inauguration, the Trump family secretly signed away 49% of World Liberty Financial, their crypto company, in a deal with a U.A.E. royal, acc. to documents and people familiar. The $500M investment came months before the U.A.E. won access to U.S. AI chips🧵

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

There ain’t no walk back. They’re still all in on mass deportation and mass intimidation.
MINNESOTA ARRESTS — I am on the ground in Minneapolis today. Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement agents. We expect more arrests to come. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: NOTHING will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law.

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity." Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."
