Flotsam and Jetsam - Drug Testing for Sleepy Joe?

From ET, Trump Agrees to 4th Presidential Debate, Biden Refuses "‘These are the debates that voters have been asking for, and these are the debates that voters will get!’ President Trump said, with the Biden campaign refusing." But there's a kicker. Misti Severi at JTN reports Donald Trump suggests Biden will be 'jacked up' on drugs for presidential debates. Well, he did seem a little more alert than usual at the SOTU and Adderall is used to treat Alzheimer's.  TNP, GOP Congressman Claims Evidence Biden Was Under Influence During State of the Union. 

Murphy, a practicing surgeon, told Bartiromo that he did not believe the 81-year-old Biden could stay under the lights for the duration of the address or maintain focus on his concepts without aid. “I believe they gave him something to sustain the lights and sustain the vigor that he had. That was not Joe Biden. I was in there. He screamed for two hours,” he said. Murphy added: “I think I can have some evidence that shows that he was given something before.”

President Biden’s assertion of executive privilege could face legal obstacles established by his own party’s pursuit of Trump records.

The AZ Sun reports Trump’s Former Attorney John Eastman Arrested in Phoenix over His 2020 Election Legal Work. "“These charges should’ve never been brought. I pled not guilty. I had zero communications with the electors in Arizona. Zero involvement in any of the election litigation in Arizona or legislative hearings. I’m confident that if the law is faithfully applied I will be fully exonerated at the end of this process,” he said."   It's now illegal to give legal advice that the Democrats disagree with or even find inconvenient at this moment.
