The FBI released its Uniform Crime Report today showing that all categories of violent crime are down in Washington DC, returning to pre-2020 levels.
Trump: "If DC doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore."

This is just a straight up confession.
Trump: "Whatever Todd Blanche asked Ghislaine Maxwell would be totally appropriate, and it's not an uncommon thing to do that. I think he probably wants to make sure that people that should not be involved or aren't involved are not hurt by something that would be ver, very unfortunate, very unfair"

The fact that we have to pretend that this is real law enforcement investigative work - well, I'm not going along with the charade. I am sure Trump voters, to the extent they pay attention at all, will buy it hook, line, and sinker.

We are closer to the precipice than people realize. Remember, Cornyn is asking Kash Patel and Dan Bongino to arrest Democrats. How long until other Rs start asking for Ds to be arrested in other contexts? How long do norms hold at the FBI?
This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave.

Option 1: Serve out your term.
Option 2: Step down early for no apparent reason and facilitate Trump's takeover of the Fed.

This isn't about criminal activity under Texas law. These aren't fugitives from felonies. It is a civil matter. The FBI cannot arrest people for non-criminal conduct. There is no reasonable belief that arresting them would prevent the commission of a federal crime. It's all pro-police state hogwash.
