Making the line attorney who took those notes Shamrock McGinty

Shiiiiit. Glad I'm not the only one whose brain immediately jumped to that scene 😂

Remember the Trump- Putin Helsinki meeting, when the translator's notes were taken away?

But they came in pairs so they could later back each other up.

As someone once said, "Lordy, I hope there are tapes!"

This reminds me to return comey's stupid book to audibles. It is like 8 years later but they say the return policy covers it. I've never returned a book to them.

I used to have a much less expensive version of one of these... and it worked quite well:

suuuuuuuch a punchable face.

archvillain.bsky.social•9 days ago

How many fucking Nosferatus are in this administration?

vannyhoney.bsky.social•9 days ago

Stringer Bell would be proud… except even he knew not to say it out loud.

shakylines.bsky.social•9 days ago

I sure hope the note taker walked out of that meeting and wrote every single thing down they could remember. Contemporaneous-adjacent notes are still valuable

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's pretty much spelled out in this resignation letter, so I suspect she did exactly that. We called it "papering the file" (back when notes were on yellow pads, not screens).

shakylines.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup... the good old days!!! I continued to take notes on a legal pad despite having a laptop in front of me!!

Did they hold the meeting in a funeral home?

Clay Davis can’t believe how corrupt Adams is.

Obstruction of justice, perhaps?

javaglee.bsky.social•8 days ago

So they don't want notes. That's transparent.

connorlynch.bsky.social•8 days ago

Absolutely wild to do this when the underlying case is about public corruption no less

claudiac.bsky.social•9 days ago

The East Coast and its gangs. We in the West need to stop paying for it all and let the East go to the corruption you love so much.

Doesn't this prove that he's good lawyer, though?

hamptonstevens.bsky.social•9 days ago

I don't think obstruction of justice is good.

archvillain.bsky.social•9 days ago

My immediate thought. She was not willing to be a party to it, and pointed a huge, flashing, red-neon arrow at Nosferatu, Jr.

sailbarque.bsky.social•9 days ago

True, but he really covered his ass!

Maybe in the sense that Hitler was a good politician.

ellerslie.bsky.social•9 days ago

It is nice to see that some people in power have the ability to stand up to the wrong. Maybe it will fortify those spineless, ball-less bootlickers to find a pair

modoubtingthomas.bsky.social•9 days ago

It could very well just be the Federalist Society standing up for their own power. The weaker Trump makes the courts, the more power he takes from them.

Their relationship has never been built to last.

archvillain.bsky.social•9 days ago

Interesting point.

Bove violated the rules of ethics and I catch a whiff of future disbarment

antiquitypod.bsky.social•9 days ago

If Bove did that, shouldn't it be reported to the appropriate state bar?

Can’t spoliate evidence if you don’t take notes!

emptywheel.bsky.social•9 days ago

He issued an excuse in his response, claiming it was about leaks.
But yeah, he's not very good at this.

I keep thinking that people WILDLY underestimate his grievance for being busted in the discovery violation scandal AND THEN refusing to drop off the Guo case.
