Oh good Lord.  Maybe we should consider ourselves very, very lucky to have kept Mike Flynn under a legal gag order for almost four years.  The disturbed man wants to firebomb the Constitution.

The retired U.S. Army general [Mike Flynn] tweeted out a link to a post calling for the suspension of constitutional law and a new election overseen by the military to ensure Trump remains in office, despite losing the Electoral College 306-232 and the popular vote by more than 6 million.

Ya know, Flynn twice pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI about his little chats with the Russian ambassador.  I’ve always wondered what they were talking about. Now we know.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Look at this stuff:

Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday said there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the election, undercutting President Trump’s repeated baseless claims to the contrary.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told The Associated Press in an interview.

Okay, how long until he gets fired?

I wonder how out of touch with reality that Trump truly is that they have to send his lawyer out to make heavy talk to try to bring Trump toward reality if he hears it on the news.

These are Trumps tweets at the time I posted this – just minutes before before the news hit the wire.

Fire, meet gasoline.

The Hunk de Jour at the Beauty Salon is Chris Krebs, the former chief of U.S. cybersecurity, who went on the electric teevee to say that this election was fair and believable.

Trump, who hired this guy, countered by saying that this was the most corrupt election ever. Oh no, wait, not just in presidential history – really ever.  Nothing has been this corrupt since Cain and God had a little discussion about who was whose brother’s keeper and the tie vote was claimed as a win by God.

So Trump’s lawyers rush in to defend him and first shot out of the holding pen is Joseph diGenova, a man slicker than your average oil spill.

diGenova has thought this through and prepared a well research and thoughtful response to make in the name of the President of the United States of America.

“Anybody who thinks the election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity, that guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot.”

Well, there you go.

Krebs had an answer this morning.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

When Trump was first elected, I predicted, “he’s gonna get us all killed.”

He’s been unsuccessful at that so far, but bygawd, you gotta give him credit for trying. And it’s not just Covid.  Oh no, there’s more.

The Justice Department created a new rule that would allow methods – including firing squads and electrocution – “comes as the administration rushes to execute five more prisoners before President Trump’s term ends.”

“Last week, the Justice Department announced that it plans to execute three more inmates on federal death row. If the administration does so, along with two other executions already scheduled, it will have put 13 prisoners to death since July, marking one of the deadliest periods in the history of federal capital punishment since at least 1927.”

Now, I’m just speculating here, but maybe, no probably, Trump wants to make sure there are federal accommodations available for him and his family … and his administration.

Thanks to Star for the heads up.

Last summer in June, Bill Barr asked Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn.  It was so outrageous that 2,300 current and former members of the Justice Department expressed anger and disapprove of Barr’s request. So, instead, Judge Sullivan hired a special prosecutor for the case.

That brings us to today.

The Justice Department, ironically named in this damn mess – has filed a motion yesterday in Judge Sullivan’s court to dismiss the case against Flynn because he got  pardon.

It was the first time the public has seen the entire pardon.

In a three-page filing accompanying the pardon, the Justice Department emphasized to Judge Sullivan that the language covered “any possible future perjury or contempt charge in connection with General Flynn’s sworn statements and any other possible future charge” that the judge or Mr. Gleeson “has suggested might somehow keep this criminal case alive over the government’s objection.”

Michael Flynn committed an unspeakable act against the United States of America.  And then he lied about it to the FBI.

At the very least the prosecutors files, the same ones seen by Judge Sullivan, should be opened to the pubic for  us to decided exactly what Flynn did. I fear that it’s worse than we know.

And yes, this does mean that if called to testify against any member of Trump’s administration or Trump himself, Flynn cannot plead the Fifth.  However, given his record on telling the truth, I doubt his testimony will carry much weight.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

When Trump couldn’t get cabinet members confirmed, he’d just appointed “acting” members and go on like nothing happened.

So, when John Cornyn uses his communication director to announce what the senate’s gonna do …

Oh really? Right out of the box all fresh and new? She has zero chance?

First off, John, you better make sure you can field a team before you start betting on the score.

Second off, how different is she than Mick Mulvaney?  I mean, other than Mulvaney being political hack.

And in the popcorn popper the president calls his cabinet the current Acting Director of Office of Management and Budget is Russell Vought. Today. But who the hell knows about tomorrow.

And lastly, John, I wouldn’t be talking big about somebody hurting your tender little feelings and now the whole country has to pay. You’re starting to sound like Trump.
