Amid a provocative discussion about how much of expert witness Paul Rosenzweig's Powerpoint presentation can be used at the Joshua Schulte trial, his lawyers again launched an objection to mentioning Anonymous that seems totally out of proportion to the damage that such mentions might do at trial.

The output hits the fan today as the Senate votes on whether to call and hear witnesses. But this may also be the entire enchilada shoved into the blades of the rotator -- they may vote on conviction and acquittal. This is an open thread.

I predict the three memos submitted in Mike Flynn's sentencing today will fulfill a prediction his former lawyer, Rob Kelner made, if Mike Flynn ever pulled such a funny trick. It amounts to Mike Flynn grasping the rope to hang himself with.

John Lewis has been a fighter his whole life long. He is the last living member of the Big Six, the speakers at the 1963 March on Washington for civil rights, and now is a senior member of Congress fighting pancreatic cancer. But it's important to remember that John Lewis was not always old.

Just a few oddities as the White House presents its counter arguments to impeachment. This is an open thread.
