Flotsam and Jetsam - Was Trump Set Up on Document Charges?

Some Key Bridge news to start. First, a bit old. THIRD CHANNEL NOW OPEN

A third temporary channel around the #KeyBridge collapse is now open. The Fort Carroll Temporary Alternate Channel, depicted in green, has a controlling depth of 20 feet, a 300-foot horizontal clearance, and a vertical clearance of 135 feet. This will be for commercially essential vessels. 

Officials believe it'll help facilitate around 15 percent of pre-collapse commercial activity.

And then  

The first commercial vessel transited through the Limited Access Channel at the #FSKBridge site Thursday morning. The LAC (which has a controlling depth of at least 35 feet, a horizontal clearance of 300 feet and a vertical clearance of 214 feet) is expected to provide passage for a limited number of commercial vessels into the Port of Baltimore and a departure opportunity for some deep draft vessels currently unable to leave the harbor since the bridge collapse. The Captain of the Port will permit transit within the LAC with restrictions as described in MSIB 043-24, including weather limitation which may impact that transit window.

The deplorable boys with big toys have been at work.

This post from the redoubtable Julie Killy, via Twitchy suggests that Trump may have been set up on the the classified documents charged. 'Absolutely Incredible!' Julie Kelly Shares Unsealed Detail From Trump 'Classified Doc' CaseJulie Kelly@julie_kelly2 "WELL WELL WELL I am pretty sure we never heard this part of the "classified documents/box" story! More from unredacted motions in FLA--this is from an unsealed transcript of witness interview. FBI agent says GSA was holding large quantity of Trump's boxes in VA and then ordered his team to come get them. I am sure NOTHING hanky happened there..." @FreeStateWill "So, in other words, the federal government potentially shipped boxes of classified information from government storage to Trump at Mar-a-Lago, then charged him for possessing it, then rescinded his clearance after charging him?"  At the ET, Jack Smith Argues Codefendant Lacks Merit to Dismiss Charges for Vindictive Prosecution in Trump Case "Prosecutors refuted Mr. Nauta’s claim of vindictive prosecution as ‘punishment’ for his decision not to accept an invitation to appear before the grand jury."

At Fox, Justice Thomas raised crucial question about legitimacy of special counsel's prosecution of Trump "Jack Smith was a private citizen when AG Garland appointed him as special counsel to investigate Trump in 2022." Breitbart notes Justice Alito Presses Jack Smith’s Team on Claim That Former Presidents Lack Immunity. ET again, has Key Takeaways From Week 2 of Trump Trial in New York. Charlotte Hazzard at JTN, Trump blames 'rigged' trial for separating him from Melania on her birthday. ""It would be nice to be with her but I'm at a courthouse for a rigged trial," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social." RCP, Mike Davis: Where Are The Republican Politicians, Why Aren't They Fighting The Democrats' Lawfare? Insty cites the WSJ, ALL THE DISINFORMATION THAT’S FIT TO PRINT: Will heavy-handed U.S. intelligence spooks re-elect Trump? Will the New York Times help? "They’ll do their best"

At Da Mail, NY DA Sandra Doorley refuses to stop for cops after being caught speeding because she 'didn't feel like it' and was stressed from working on murders. Above the law.

Gallup reports Biden's 13th-Quarter Approval Average Lowest Historically "Averages 38.7% job approval," Leading Report@LeadingReport "BREAKING: Joe Biden’s administration has formally begun planning for a potential presidential transition." Community notes adds "This report is accurate, although context is needed. The Biden administration is required to do so under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 to ensure continuity of government in the event he is not re-elected. " The Guardian sees Morehouse students criticize Biden as commencement speaker: ‘A political pawn to get Black votes.’ ABC whines about Chants of ‘shame on you’ greet guests at White House correspondents’ dinner shadowed by war in Gaza

At Twitchy, Jill Biden Stepped in As Joe Told U.S. Wounded Warriors the Good News (About More $$$ for Ukraine). I'm sure they appreciated that. Breitbart is amused Biden Appears on Howard Stern Show After Snubbing ‘New York Times’. A pair from Althouse. First, "In the weeks since his rowdy State of the Union speech... President Biden has shown a looser, more comfortable version of himself..." Writes Chris Cameron, in the NYT. It's a puff piece. What can you say? I'll just say I wouldn't have written "continue roasting Mr. Trump" so close to "eaten by cannibals." Then Scoop: A man walks. NEWSMAX@NEWSMAX, "Dr. Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who was a member of former President Donald Trump's Cabinet, told Newsmax that President Joe Biden's mental and physical condition "puts the entire country at risk."

Steve Richards at JTN, DOJ’s refusal to turn over Hur tapes to Congress sets up a contempt fight. "Congress has faced obstacles to its various investigations into the Biden Administration in its broad impeachment investigation." Gabe Kaminsky at WaEx, Top Biden officials likely violated key federal law, watchdog says. Hatch Act, nobody ever gets in real trouble. At worst they get their tallies whacked.

Stacy McCain takes note of the Secret Service DEI Quota Hire Goes Completely Berserk at Andrews AFB. "“Let’s hire this kooky woman who filed a bogus discrimination lawsuit against her former employers to guard the Vice President of the United States, because what could possibly go wrong?” Have I mentioned lately that Crazy People Are Dangerous?"

Defense One notes the Army is teaching Ukrainian. Hmm. At WaEx What happens if Biden’s Gaza pier gets Americans killed? I think Abbey Gate settled that.

Matt Margolis at PJM sees Bill Barr Doubles Down on Supporting Trump in 2024, and CNN Can’t Even "If faced with a choice between two people, neither of which I think should be president, I feel it’s my duty to pick the person who I think would do the least damage to the country," Barr explained. "And I think Trump would do less damage than Biden. And I think all this stuff about a threat to democracy, I think the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement and the Biden administration." Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair wonders Would Trump Really Disband NOAA? No, but there are vast areas that should be trimmed. 

A triple at Althouse "RFK Jr. is a Democrat 'Plant,' a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden... "Blasts Donald Trump, from Truth Social", and "When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged." "Tweets RFK Jr., responding to Trump's tweet, which we discussed here yesterday" and Can Kristi Noem survive — politically survive — the killing of her dog? Country girls have country ways. Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair sees Maine and Nebraska Going Tit-For-Tat Over Trump? "If Nebraska Republicans changed their electoral college rules to help Donald Trump this November, a top Maine Democrat said her party would try to do a similar move to counteract the impact." From WaEx, Maine has plans to counteract Nebraska’s Electoral College scheme

Steve Richards at JTN, Ex-Cassidy Hutchinson lawyer seeks default judgement against Jan. 6 Select Committee "Stefan Passantino had sued the government over claims about the ethics of his legal work by the Jan. 6 Select Committee.

Also at Red State Brad Slager sees NPR Journos Suggested Reading Their Site to Prove They Are Unbiased – This Was a Grave Mistake. Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks Most Dishonest Reporter in America Buys The Onion. Most dishonest reporter in America? That's a pretty high bar.

From Ni Delusions, No Despair, Ben Kerstein, warns This is the way 1968 ends... "Not with a bang, but with Nazism."




Oilfield Rando@Oilfield_Rando, "Want extra layers on this one? The drag queen, “Lil Miss Hot Mess”, is University of Arizona Professor Harris Kornstein.

The Free Bacon, UCLA Med School Launches Review Of ‘Health Equity’ Course But Warns That Whistleblowers Could Be Disciplined. "Move comes after Harvard Med School dean slammed class and called for investigation. . . .
