Former FBI Director James Comey and The Cheshire Cat Have The Same Expression

The Justice Department on Wednesday admitted that the operative indictment against former FBI Director James Comey was never presented to the full grand jury — a procedural error defense attorneys say should bar the prosecution.  

The admission came under sharp questioning from U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, after several judges overseeing parts of the case had raised concerns about the government’s presentation and an apparent discrepancy in the grand jury record.

Ken Starr Always Looked Like A Dirty Old Man To Me and He Really Was!

Newly released files by the House Oversight Committee detail the email relationship between former Baylor President Ken Starr and infamous New York financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The emails reflect a cordial friendship between the two, with Starr expressing his interest in visiting Epstein in New York City and Florida, discussing current events and even exchanging information about the sexual assault scandal implicating Baylor football and Starr in 2016.

According to the files, Starr regularly signed off his emails to Epstein with words like “hugs” and “love.”

Starr served as independent counsel in the President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky affair that later led to Clinton’s impeachment and was a part of the legal team that defended Epstein in his first criminal case in the early 2000s.

Apparently, These Judges Weren't In The Epstein Files

Texas cannot use a new congressional map drawn by Republicans in hopes of securing the party additional U.S. House seats, a panel of three federal judges ruled Tuesday.

The ruling was a blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to have GOP lawmakers in multiple states redraw their maps to help the party preserve its slim House majority in the potentially difficult 2026 midterm elections.

Donald Trump said “quiet piggy” to a female reporter because she dared to ask about the Epstein files, and as bad as that is, the fact that none of her colleagues defended her, is even worse. - JoJoFromJerz
