    So this is my "contribution" to complement all my "slow-witted jabs", something that you at least must appreciate given how you characterize my post.
    Brady act? Do you mean Logan act?

    Now Judge Sullivan did utilize the “Brady rule” which requires prosectors to disclose favorable or exculpatory evidence to the defense.

    I did mean "Logan Act". Thanks.

    After watching clips from the medical expert hearing yesterday, think Senator Kaine borrowed his kids Antifa bandanna. Well, at least he was being compliant.

    The judge in the Flynn case just appointed another judge to write a brief on whether Flynn should be held in criminal contempt for perjury.
    (maybe because he swore to the court twice that he lied to the FBI, and now is saying he didn't)

    The judge appointed, use to be a federal prosecutor, who put John Gotti away.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    This is now a kangaroo court.

    This is unprecedented and a complete joke.

    That is a good article, particularly describing what the role of a judge is supposed to be. This judge has now assumed the role of a prosecutor. He should be removed from this case. Of course, the left wing media won't say a word about this. Hypocrites to the highest degree. There's no standard like a double standard.

    Here's another good article from a former NYC federal prosecutor:

    Ahh. The highly credible New York Post. Can someone explain to me what Obamagate even is? A google search only turns up a crazy tweet from Trump with no context and a few articles from highly partisan sources, which also provide essentially no detail except that we should be investigating Obama for something (but not sure what). Are people really this dumb?
