NBD.
Around the same time he suggested copies could be made of the seized docs so that ODNI could continue its risk assesment and a hypothetical special master could do their review
What!? "Hey, WE made copies, why can't they?"
You said they'll use "Goldilocks" docs to indict. What about the levels above Top Secret nobody talks about? The kind you need TS clearance to know exist? Will only FBI ever know he had "ULTRA CODE Z EYES ONLY" docs?

Judge Mehta Sentences Former Police Officer To 10 YEARS In Prison For Capitol Riot
That's the longest Capitol riot sentence so far.
Feds sought 17 years
Webster sought time served
TEN YEARS in prison for the former NYPD officer
Judge is leaning HARD into Webster.
Webster got on the stand at trial and gave testimony that runs counter to Webster's statements in seeking leniency. And judge is spotlighting that.
Judge: "I too wish you hadn't come to Washington DC. I too wish you had stayed at home in New York.. that you had not come out to the Capitol that day, because all of us would be far better off. Not just you... your family.. the country"
MEHTA says Webster's trial testimony was "utterly fanciful and incredible"
"The idea that you could sit on that witness stand ... under oath and tell those jurors that the way that you had your hands...was to show him that you're not going to hurt him is just not credible"
ALERT: Judge Amit Mehta sentences Thomas Webster to 120 months.
10 years
(Multiple *concurrent* sentences of 120 months)

California Approves Wave of New Climate Measures including a record $54 billion in climate spending
September 1, 2022 at 3:49 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 22 Comments
“California took some of its most aggressive steps yet to fight global warming as lawmakers passed a flurry of new climate bills late Wednesday, including a record $54 billion in climate spending, a measure to prevent the state’s last nuclear power plant from closing, sharp new restrictions on oil and gas drilling and a mandate that California stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by 2045,” the New York Times reports.
“The bills, passed around midnight at the end of a frenzied two-year legislative session in Sacramento, marked a victory for Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who has sought to portray himself as a climate leader as he has raised his national profile and begun drawing speculation about a possible White House run.”

He is not some Crazy Uncle; he is the most likely person to be the next Republican nominee for potus
Charles C.W. Cooke: “It is increasingly tempting to ignore these outbursts of constitutionally illiterate election-trutherism as a distraction. Certainly, if one wishes to, one can write them off as a mere sideshow — as the detached and irrelevant ravings of an unemployed septuagenarian has-been. At this point, one might say, Trump is just another Crazy Uncle with a social-media account. And, besides, instead of parsing what he says on the Internet, shouldn’t we be focused on the FBI’s continuing self-abasement, which occasioned the flare-up in the first instance?”“But the thing is: None of that is really true, is it? Donald Trump has been talking like this for 18 months now. He is not some Crazy Uncle; he is the most likely person to be the next Republican nominee for president — and, for that matter, the next president. And while I strongly agree that the FBI needs wholesale reform — if not outright abolition — that does not change the fact that what Trump is saying in response on his failing social-media platform is nuts.

Breaking: Lindsey Graham loses again on his battle not to testify before DA Willis
i’ll have more analysis to follow but Willis is on a winning streak.
Like the Rolling Stones said, “if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you need.”
"[T]he Court does not find that it can simply accept Senator Graham’s sweeping and conclusory characterizations of the calls and ignore other objective facts in the record that call Senator Graham’s characterizations into
question."

"Justice is coming,"
THAT BRATT-I-AM, THAT BRATT-I-AM, I DO NOT LIKE THAT BRATT-I-AMAugust 31, 2022 -by Peterr
Red Docs, Blue Docs . . .
In the far-away land of Mar-A-Lago
sits a once-vaunted leader, now brought very low.
His voice, once ubiquitous, lordly, and loud
has become but a whimper, no longer so proud.
The cameras have vanished, the crowds have all shrunk,
as he scrambles for donors, this fallen-down punk.
And then come his lawyers, with news of a guest,
A visit un-looked for, unwelcome, unblessed.
“That Bratt-I-Am, that Bratt-I-Am,
I do not like that Bratt-I-Am.”
“You must return those stolen docs.
You must return them, yes, every box.”
“I do not have a box of docs,
and they are mine, you lying fox.”
But then they came and then they found
docs aplenty, all around . . .
One doc, two docs
red docs, blue docs
Docs TOPSECRET/SCI
Docs with pictures from on high
Docs with covers, docs with stamps,
Docs in files marked “terror camps”
Docs from spies and docs from techs
Docs ’bout planes on navy decks
Docs on armies, docs on friends
Docs on missiles, docs on end!
“I do not like you, Bratt-I-Am!
I do not like your little scam.
You only fight ’cause I am so strong!
You only fight ’cause Biden is wrong!
Besides, I don’t have the docs that you seek
or, if I do, they’re mine, free to keep!”
A pause, then that voice so quietly speaks
pricking his bubble; his vanity leaks.
“There’s only one president, you see,
and you are not it, quite obviously.
You’ve filed lots of lawsuits and lost every one
and Biden, not you, is the one who has won.
“The law is quite clear: these docs are ours.
You have no magic pixie dust powers.
You cannot claim them, nor take them home;
they belong to us, not you alone.
You must return those stolen docs.
You must return them, yes, every box.
“These classified docs are not like cheap porn
They’re CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET, ORCON, and NOFORN.
They’re stuff you can’t look at outside of a SCIF.
There are but a few even granted a sniff.
They should be under watch, behind guarded doors,
not left in a closet or stashed into drawers.
They must be sent back, each one of these docs
They must be returned, yes, every last box.
“We’ll come to you, or you to us.
You can return them on a bus.
You can return them on a train.
You can return them on a plane.
You can return them at your house.
You can return them with a mouse.
You must return those stolen docs.
You must return them, yes, every box.”
“But I *want* them, because they are mine!
and you cannot have them – don’t cross that line!”
“Have your read this warrant, here?
Do you not see? Is it not clear?
The judge agrees – you have no choice.
You must comply, so please, no more noise.
You must return those stolen docs
You must return them, yes, every box.”
“That Bratt-I-Am, that Bratt-I-Am,
I do not like that Bratt-I-Am!”
“Boxes of documents, boxes of pics,
Boxes of letters – be sure there’re no tricks!
We’ll carefully pack them and give you a list
(It *will* be redacted, but we’ll give you the jist)
We’ll guard them as well as the law says we must.
We’ll guard them much better than you have, we trust.
“For crimes have been crimed, as we have deducted:
espionage, theft, and justice obstructed.
The proof, we believe, will emerge box by box
from rooms where you’ve kept them without any locks.
The charges will follow, and names will be named
and soon the guilty in court will be blamed.
“Justice is coming,” says Bratt-I-Am,
and that once-vaunted leader can only say . . .
“Damn.”
