PJM's Lincoln Brown highlights Giuliani's Warning "Now, whether you dislike or like Donald Trump, let me give you a warning. They’re gonna come for you.

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.24.23 (Afternoon Edition), EBL: Attorney John Eastman vows to fight Georgia Indictment.

Phil Holloway at Front Page calls Georgia’s Trump Indictment a Partisan Political Hit Job. "Malicious - and absurd - overreach." Andy McCarthy at NRO (cited at Hat Hair) calls The Fani Willis case the J6 Commission of indictments. Capt. Ed comments "Be sure to read it all, especially Andy’s dismissal of the RICO predicate. In short, that exists to deal with sustained organizations with overtly criminal purposes, not ad hoc political and legal alliances of short duration and questionable motives. If any of these defendants win a removal motion, one has to think that a federal judge would put a quick end to the RICO predicate, and by doing so releasing most of the defendants except those who committed actual crimes, ie, the alleged Coffee County hack." Ixtu Diaz at Am Spec warns Fani, Justice Is Not a Blind Lady, "The locust plague of politics began to eat away at the judiciary long ago."

The Western Journal claims an Explosive Report: Judge in Trump Jan 6 Case Previously Said in Open Court He's Guilty of Crimes, but she'll convict him fairly, she promises. At WaEx, Most Republicans would vote for an imprisoned Donald Trump, poll says. Althouse, "Are you worried that they’re going to try and kill you? Why wouldn’t they try and kill you? Honestly?" "Tucker Carlson asks Trump to his face in last night's interview — video here, transcript here. This is something that I've thought about but avoided ever saying, and I've even deleted comments that bring this up, because I'm afraid of stimulating deranged thinking, but Carlson brought it up so conspicuously that my restraint serves no purpose."

If you want my favor, do favors for Hunter. If you want me to listen to you, listen to Hunter first." I suspect the harder you look, the more you'll find. Dave Strom at Hat Hair VIP notes Shamelessness is a superpower.

Margot Cleveland at Da Fed, After Hunter’s Sweetheart Deal Went South, Here’s What’s Next From Biden’s Compromised DOJ. From Da Mail, Delaware prosecutor Alexander Mackler who worked with investigator probing Hunter Biden's shady overseas dealings was so chummy with president he used his secret email address under the name 'Robin Ware'.

Greg Price@greg_price11, "If you go to NASA's official website, it says "other than extremely rare exceptions, you must be a US citizen to work for NASA." But Biden's DOJ wants to punish SpaceX for not hiring non-citizens? I'm sure this has nothing at all to do with getting revenge on
@elonmusk for the Twitter files."

Althouse, "He walks — he can’t lift his feet out of the grass, you know, it’s only two inches... and it looks like he’s walking on toothpicks."
