I hope I’m wrong about this

Sunday, November 9, 2025

This has come down today: The Trump administration told states that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the chaos and uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown. The Democrats are already attacking it for the cruelty […]

Open Corruption, a compendium

Sunday, May 11, 2025

I keep a rather horribly written personal diary. During the first Trump reign, I would usually put up a paragraph or two about his most recent crime. A few years ago I began reading the “On This Day” entries to my wife, though I always skip reading the Trump parts, though I skim them be […]

Fun reading

Tuesday, August 15, 2023

I just finished reading the Georgia indictment. A bit of a slog, since you have to go through so much boilerplate legal language, but still a fun read. I didn’t practice criminal law, and RICO wasn’t a thing when I took criminal law in law school, but it looks like a pretty strong case to […]

Another modest proposal

Saturday, April 15, 2023

Now that we have evidence that Clarence Thomas has committed a crime by failing to report the “sale” of his house to his rich benefactor, who proceeded to let Clarence’s Mom continue to live there (rent free I’m sure) while paying for improvements to the place and the property taxes, it would seem that Clarence […]

January 6th transcripts, Jeffrey Clark part 1

Friday, December 23, 2022

I have set myself the task of reading and digesting each of the newly released transcripts from the January 6th committee. We’re I a betting man I would bet that I’ll never complete the task, but one never knows. It’s my understanding that the released transcripts are a subset of all the transcripts from the […]

Open criminality is the new norm

Saturday, September 17, 2022

Sometimes things move much too fast for someone who isn’t paid to blog. When I first heard about the stunt DeSantis pulled sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, it seemed to me that there was something, you know, illegal about it. My first thought was that it was kidnapping. I didn’t practice criminal law, and even […]

Schadenfreude of the day

Wednesday, June 1, 2022

Try as I might (and I’m not really trying), I can’t seem to dredge up any sympathy for the folks who got conned by Madison Cawthorn and his friend’s Let’s Go Brandon (LGB) cryptocurrency scam. Seems the “value” of the currency went way up shortly after Cawthorn endorsed it at the end of last year, […]

More Republican Election fraud—What a Surprise!

Wednesday, May 25, 2022

This is truly unbelievable. Well, in this day and age not unbelievable, but it should be, being yet another example of Republicans committing the crimes that they accuse Democrats of committing: Five candidates vying for the right to challenge Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) are facing the possibility of being eliminated even before the primary […]

It doesn’t take Nostradamus to predict this

Tuesday, April 12, 2022

Well, this is totally unsurprising. Seems that Jared Kushner has been paid handsomely by Saudi Arabia for serving its interests, including covering up a murder. A good discussion about it by Juan Cole here. You have to hand it to Jared. He may have set a record so far as the amount of money that […]

Democrats ready to attack?

Saturday, March 26, 2022

Could it be that the Democrats are finally going to start fighting fire with—-well, let’s be honest, a tiny flicker of a flame. Every lawyer knows that it is unethical for a judge to rule in a case in which the judge or a judge’s family member has a personal interest. Anyone who has familiarized […]
