Sassoon indicates she was ready to hit Eric Adams with an obstruction conspiracy charge "We have proposed a superseding indictment that would add an obstruction conspiracy count based on evidence that Adams destroyed and instructed others to destroy evidence and provide false information to the FBI"

Now read Sassoon's blistering Feb. 12 letter to Attorney General Bondi. "Although Mr. Bove disclaimed any intention to exchange leniency in this case for Adams's assistance in enforcing federal law, that is the nature of the bargain laid bare in Mr. Bove's memo." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Here's one I haven't seen before: Bove says DOJ made a "weaponization finding" in the prosecution of Eric Adams, and this finding is not reviewable. This has not previously been a thing.

Eventually the Adams case will trickle down to someone who will just follow orders and dismiss it. Make that person historically infamous. (Recall it was Robert Bork who eventually followed Nixon’s order to fire Archibald Cox)

It only took Hitler 53 days to dismantle German democracy. Afterwards everything Hitler did was legal. Opposing him was illegal. It's only a matter of time before opposing Trump will be illegal. That's why he's getting Guantanamo ready, to lock up protesters and critics.

Trump's proposal is to save TikTok is to give the federal government, run by him, direct control over TikTok. What could go wrong?

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

1/ Media needs to explain this is NOT a legal option. Yes, Trump said he's “most likely” to give #TikTok 90-day extension. No, that's not a legally available option. The 270 days lapsed. An extension is no longer available (even if TikTok met 3 conditions for extension, which it surely doesn’t.)

Grover Cleveland’s presidential ‘comeback’ is a true cautionary tale for Trump They both won a second term after losing the previous election. But Cleveland’s second administration was such a disaster it put his party out of power for decades. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...?

As I have brought this need for clarification on myself, there have been a couple of times in my career where I was asked to participate, sometimes for non-trivial money, in events I did not feel matched up with either my public stances or private morals. I passed in each case. I have enough money.
