Dimming the Lights

Prosecutors said Johnson was intentionally brandishing his weapon at five officers conducting rooftop surveillance, while the defense said he was only using his flashlight to see who was up there. [More]

Maybe he was, but all things considered, it sounds like he’s lucky they didn’t light him up.

Why this is a federal case is another matter altogether.

Profiles in Teflon

Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI when he handed over since-debunked computer data that purportedly tied Donald Trump to Russia, with jurors drawn from a largely Democrat-leaning pool saying special counsel John Durham didn’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. [More]

Well, that wad is shot. No one really thought this was going to be allowed to go anywhere, did they?

UPDATE:

A juror in the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann told the media after his unanimous acquittal on Tuesday that she didn’t think the case should have gone forward because lying to the FBI  wasn’t a big deal. [More]

Yep, in-your-face nullification.

Who thought three Hillary donors on the jury were unobjectionable? Throwing the fight much?

Encouraging Words?

Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said. [More]

Going Full FBI

“What the public should be looking at is the fact that the FBI gave our son the means to make this happen. He has no job, no money, no vehicle, and no driver’s license, due to the fact that he is schizophrenic and we; his parents do everything we can possible to keep him safe and functional….. He has suffered through countless serious full-blown schizophrenic delusional episodes and he has been put in numerous mental hospitals since he was 16 years old. The FBI came and picked him up from our home, they gave him a vehicle, gave him a fake bomb, and every means to make this happen none of which he had access to on his own. [More]

Three words…
