1. Can you summarize? At work so I can't listen.

2. Timeline weird: mayor invited in, told to leave, leaves, then arrested; then congressfolk invited in;

A week later charges against mayor dropped and charges filed against congress woman. Originally no charging document. No clearance from DoJ public integrity section. Evidence is very unclear video; not clear whether she allegedly assaulted private security or career ICE employee or who

6. Parking lot lawyer can't file a proper brief

Will get tossed sooner than later.
Pro tip: first take it to a grand jury with evidence. If GJ indicts, you likely have a case.

9. rump's cronies will charge anyone with anything now

This is what’s coming down the track from the folks who brought you “Habeas corpus? Shmabeas corpus.” Former campaign rodeo clowns have been given important government jobs to wreak the president’s wrath on whoever’s the target of the day. That it happens this time to be a member of Congress is no accident ...

In fairness to the congresswoman, she probably couldn’t stop laughing long enough to make a reasoned decision. I mean, Alina Habba, the famous parking-garage attorney who dedicated what limited legal knowledge she has to making sure that the president remained above the law? The woman who lost an $83 million verdict to E. Jean Carroll while getting bench-slapped by the judge 14 times in a single day for violating the rules on cross-examination? ...

The cynical mind quickly comes to the conclusion that the administration is trading up here for intimidation purposes. The assault charge against the congresswoman is as bogus as the dropped trespassing charges against Mayor Ras Baraka were, but they inevitably ripple through the entire Congress, likely to the administration’s advantage. Congresswoman McIver sees the sub-Machiavellian hand of Pam Bondi’s DOJ behind this latest maneuver ...

10. Not the first time she has fucked up like this.

The idiot didn't check a box on paperwork for Donnie Doll Hands' civil fraud trial that would have given him a jury trial, rather than letting the judge decide. I guess being attractive makes up for being careless, stupid, and incompetent in Trump World.

11. HubbaBubba is laughable as an attorney.
