Pecker says he told Cohen, "We committed a campaign violation." Pecker says he was worried about that, but Cohen wasn't, quoting Cohen to say, "Jeff Sessions is the attorney general and Donald Trump has him in his pocket."

This is the money takeaway from the whole Willis thing.

Carole Tyler @CaroleTyler

The Daily Edge: "Nathan Wade is no longer allowed to prosecute the Georgia's RICO case against Trump because he slept with DA Fani Willis.

Clarence Thomas is still adjudicating January 6 cases despite the fact he sleeps with one of the leaders of the insurrection."

The 5 men on the Court made up language that isn't actually there -- pretending that Congress *must* pass legislation for disqualification to occur

People don't just "find" piles of data lying around. It happens, but very rarely, and usually YEARS after the data was downloaded. No, this was someone showing off, to make it seem like Spoutible was weak. Given Spoutible does not have the numbers of larger platforms, it makes you wonder... NOT.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzy

We are confident the person who contacted Troy scraped the data. After detailed analysis of the logs, and Troy's timeline, we believe the data was scraped to hurt Spoutible's reputation. We are also confident the person involved is the ringleader who has been attacking Spoutible for a year.

Nearly 30,000 firearms stolen from cars since Tennessee GOP relaxed state laws

Stolen weapons have since been used to kill innocent Tennesseans, but Tennessee Republicans have shown little interest in revisiting those laws or penalizing owners who make their guns easy targets.
