In case of last minute Turkey Day kitchen emergencies, an open thread.

Trump's replies submitted in his various efforts to dismiss the charges against him amount to a demand that Trump be treated not just as above the law that the hundreds of his mobsters have already been held accountable to, but also above the truth.

Last week, Abbe Lowell requested subpoenas in the Hunter Biden case -- subpoenas that would obtain known records ranging from mean Trump tweets, to Bill Barr's efforts to funnel a bribery allegation obtained downstream from Rudy's efforts to Trump up a bribery allegation, to the Perfect Phone call. It's an impossible subpoena request. But it's also a request that goes to the core of defending against the kind retribution Trump demands.

A potential FARA investigation into Hunter Biden was the reason why he refused to plead guilty in July, giving David Weiss and Leo Wise a chance to ratchet up charges against the President's son. But CNN reports that any such investigation is now done.

Phil Rucker's WaPo continues to ignore details about the corruption of the investigation into Hunter Biden, corruption that implicates WaPo's obsession with Hunter Biden's dick pics directly.

In a now formal, but not unexpected, decision in Colorado yet another local county judge has issued a somewhat convoluted, but yet clear, decision that the 14th Amendment, specifically section 3, cannot be used by a handful of common citizens…

Aileen Cannon has all but ensured that Republican voters won't learn whether Donald Trump sold out America's security before they choose to make him their party's nominee.

Trump has -- must have!! -- seen the evidence about his mob that DOJ intends to use at trial. And his response is a blubbering effort to wish his mob away. 

The reason Rudy Giuliani was not charged for soliciting election disinformation from a known Russian agent is that the Attorney General of the United States set up a system that separated the investigation of that Russian agent from the investigation of Rudy, all while channeling whatever disinformation Rudy obtained from Derkach (or Zlochevsky) into the investigation of Joe Biden's son.

In citing the precedents against filming a trial, DOJ happened to cite the precedents pertaining to terrorists and his own seditionists.
