Continuing our discussion from last night. Judge now has two good reasons to grill Trump appointee under oath: legal expert. www.rawstory.com/…
According to MSNBC host Katie Phang and ex-FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann, acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove will likely be called into the courtroom of Judge Dale E. Ho of Federal District Court in Manhattan to explain his rationale for letting New York City Mayor Eric Adams walk away from corruption charges. ✂️ "I agree with you, and I think one of the reasons that that's going to happen is because as you and I know, this does not happen," Weissmann told Phang. "This is so, just so unusual to see career people resigning rather than follow an order and they do that when they believe that the order is illegal and or unethical." "In fact, the only other time in recent history I can think of that is in Trump 1.0, when prosecutors resigned in the Roger Stone case, rather than carry out instructions that they believed were also improper," he explained. "So I think that Judge Ho is going to have a hearing, and he has every reason to do it." "I can give you two reasons," he elaborated. "One is, as you noted, Danielle Sassoon and her colleagues say, that there's this improper quid pro quo and that has been disputed by Eric Adams' counsel, so there is a factual dispute and that gives every reason for a judge to hold a hearing. That's what judges do when there's a factual dispute and he can say to Emil Bove, 'If you think this is wrong, if you think that this is not what happened, you can come here and take the stand and put your right hand up and swear to tell the truth and I will make credibility determinations.'" "And oh, by the way, and this is something you will appreciate as a trial lawyer, 'You know those notes that you confiscated and you didn't want anyone to see? Bring those with you I want to see what the contemporaneous notes are, that you didn't want anyone to take out of that room to see what people were saying about that meeting.'" he added with a grin.
Here's the full discussion, about seven minutes long.

x Not only is the wet signature of deputy Acting Attorney General Emil Bove there. The Eric Adams document attributes the decision exclusively to Bove.⬇️ Judge Dale Ho could have a field day with this, as he should for the sake of justice.

What could possibly go wrong?

Oh Sweet Jeebus. Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say. www.cnn.com/…
CNN — Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter. Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons. ✂️ Members of Congress made their concerns about the NNSA firings known to the Energy Department, a Hill staffer told CNN. A person with knowledge of the matter told CNN that senators visited Energy Sec. Chris Wright to express concern about the NNSA cuts. “Congress is freaking out because it appears DOE didn’t really realize NNSA oversees the nuclear stockpile,” one source said. “The nuclear deterrent is the backbone of American security and stability – period. For there to be any even very small holes poked even in the maintenance of that deterrent should be extremely frightening to people.” ✂️ The agency made the about face Friday morning; during a meeting, acting NNSA administrator Teresa Robbins said the agency had received direction to rescind the termination of probationary employees. Probationary workers have typically been employed for less than a year, or two years in some cases, and have fewer job protections and rights to appeal.

Yup.

Honestly? It may not be a bad thing. Not if it gets FIDJT to reconsider our relationship with Ukraine.
Oh wait. I take that back.

Makes sense to me.
