Just finished the Flynn decision. It is an excrescence, as the dissent points out. It guts one of the most important safeguards of our democracy: an independent judiciary. Sullivan should seek en banc review. He will win if he does--the opinion is that weak.

This Pruitt flap is absurd. Obama EPA officials spent as much or more on travel. And career EPA ethics officials say he paid "reasonable market value" for the condo, and leasor had no business in front of EPA. The press might at least try to pretend it didn't have two standards.

White House lawyers who knowingly participated in a scheme to illegally coerce unrepresented non lawyer employees & deprive them of First Amendment and other rights could be subject to bar discipline for violating ethics rules —and maybe even lose their licenses

Let's assume the NDAs, if they exist, are unenforceable. Still, is it legal for the White House Counsel's office (or any part of the WH) to engage in such scare tactics while hiring for a federal position? Is it a legitimate use of taxpayer funds to produce and process fake NDAs?

This is 18 USC 1343 wire fraud by Trump campaign No way the other 99 really replied, so all elements are met 1)scheme to defraud 2)with intent to defraud & 3) foreseeable & actual use of interstate wire comms. Barr won't investigate, but states can under analogous state crimes

DOJ backtracking because looks like TRUMP cronies there violated Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a by giving a few favored reporters those 10k text messages. Will result in IG investigation & litigation for sure.

She’s changing her story because the old one with the doctored video cannot meet strict scrutiny under 1st Amendment. Ever-changing excuses are more proof this is all a pretext for doing what the Constitution forbids: punishing @CNN & @Acosta because they criticize the president.
