"Prosecutors, who had more access to telephone records and emails than the congressional committee that investigated Jan. 6, allege that Trump spoke to ally Steve Bannon by phone on Jan. 5 less than two hours before Bannon issued a prescient and provocative prediction on his War Room podcast that ‘all hell is going to break loose’ on Jan. 6.”

Some said it wasn't impactful when Çomey eported on his investigation of Hillary's emails.

Lead story tonight on network news.

IMO, the electorate has been frozen already save for 1-2% and that is a group that can make a difference.

Even after he was no longer fit to teach, Carter regularly attended services, his wheelchair positioned next to the front pew as his lead agent sat behind him in a folding chair. 

"One Sunday in particular, the sermon was talking about making the world a better place," Don Witham recalled. "And [the former president] very quietly, put down his head and said, 'I've tried,' to himself. And I reached forward with both my hands and put them on his shoulders, and I said, 'And sir, you've succeeded.'"

Was the passage cribbed from Michelle Obama's memoir?

This is more than I hoped. Smith rewrote the entire Indictment to align with SCOTUS ruling on immunity. Knowing no trial possible before the election, he prepared an expanded brief with redactions hoping it would be unsealed and published before the election. By making it public, it is a fait accompli - Trump can’t appeal its unsealing to SCOTUS and SCOTUS reach down and prevent its publication. This, along with Vance’s refusal to say Trump lost the 2020 election last night on national tv, will be highly impactful.

Robinson says he never met Helene and you can't believe a word she says about him

 

"But there was only one question on which the vice presidency—the job for which these two men are competing—really matters. That question was whether they would certify the results of the next presidential election. And on that subject, Vance gave a non-answer that instantly disqualifies him: He refused to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.”

I like the attack that Donald has lost it. Let people have the out - they can think he was great before, so they were right to support him, but now Donald has changed so they can oppose him without ever admitting they were wrong.

So now the press will start howling about Trump dodging media questions, right?

 

"Donald Trump is seeking to put Kamala Harris on the back foot as both candidates respond to the devastation unleashed by Hurricane Helene,” The Hill reports.

“Trump visited Georgia on Monday, where he knocked the federal government’s response to the storm. His visit comes days after he criticized Harris and President Biden over the crisis.”

“Harris, meanwhile, cut her planned West Coast trip short and will be briefed on the disaster at the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters.”
