More Resistance Porn? Benjamin Wittes says its too late to slow the Mueller Express.
His Point Six may induce a dmagaing level of eye roll from any righty familiar with the "investigation" into Hillary's emails. Take care
Sixth, corrupting the Justice Department is harder than you think.
To be fair, after watching Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama cover for Hillary's misdeeds (and the President used her email too, so the cover-up had plenty of motivation) or the FISA waltz with Carter Page I don't think corrupting the Justice Department is that hard.
Surprised I have not heard a peep about the overseas US Military Ballots this Election. Usually there is always some big stink about how they were never sent or received in time, and then some Congress-critter grandstands in pledging to fix it so that this never happens again. Did somebody actually finally fix it?

daddy - AFAIR the Seattle homeless were allowed to "use" addresses of public buildings since they had no personal address. OK but the kicker was ballots found a week or so late in some drawer and some elsewhere. They were AOK too because--say it with me--"every vote counts." When will we learn it's "every legal vote that counts"?

Michelle Obama says she'll never forgive Trump over birther conspiracy: memoir
“The whole thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed,” reads an excerpt, according to the report. “But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks.”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michelle-obama-rips-trump-in-upcoming-memoir-report
She should ask her husband & his publisher why they were "birthers". No Republican wrote the promotional booklet. Donald Trump didn't write the booklet.
For 16 yrs. (1991-2007) Barack Obama was marketed as being "born in Kenya" by his publisher.

Btw I agree with what maryrose said about DeWine although I'd express it a bit differently. He's like that beat to hell pair of basketball shoes you find in your closet when you're looking for something to wear while cutting the grass that you don't care about getting stained and are comfortable. Usually after a goof like Katshit, Ohio voters punish the state GOP, as was the case post Taft and Voinovich, by electing true slime like Twitch and Celeste, after which the state subgeniuses come up with someone more palatable. I don't know if Johnnycakes chose not to give his pearly gates endorsement to DeWine or, more likely, everyone told him to stay the hell away, but it worked out well.

Curious, I eventually tried I tried to 'login' instead of registering.
No luck.
Frustrated, I eventually tried an old password I used to use for various accounts a LONG time ago. No numerals or special characters.
Voila! I was in.
First thing I did was change the password to something with numerals and special characters.
I first visited here during Plamegate around a 2005 timelime. That woulda matched up when I used that old 'insecure' password.
I'm wondering now if I've had that account for 13 years and forgot about it!
