Good News!! Well, mostly. The SCOTUS has ruled that the president is not above the law, with two of Trumps appointees voting against him. That otta boil his pasta reall good. The court also ruled that he must disclose his financial records but proscribed that there is a lengthy process that must be followed, and that will take months. Beyond that, Trump's lawyers have said that they intend to delay any further investigations with endless appeals.

Good reassurance from Neal Katyal

AG Barr Announces ‘Operation Legend’ to Send Federal Troops to Kansas City, Surprises Mayor

Attorney General William Barr announced Wednesday that the Department of Justice is sending federal law enforcement to Kansas City, Missouri to fight a recent surge in violent crime as part of a program dubbed “Operation Legend.” The program is named after 4-year-old LeGend Tallifero, who was killed on June 29 by gunfire in the city, which has seen a 40 percent surge in homicides compared to 2019. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany read aloud a letter from Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas to Missouri’s governor concerning the crime wave during her announcement of the initiative, but the news came as a surprise to the local leader. He said in a statement, “I learned on Twitter this afternoon that the Department of Justice plans to send federal investigators to Kansas City as support for unsolved homicide and non-fatal shooting investigations.” But Lucas said he would not oppose the initiative: “I plan and hope to learn more about this effort over the days ahead. The investigative support effort announced this afternoon can be only one tool out of many.”

Trump reveals that doctors were "surprised" he could pass a cognitive test.

President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he has taken a cognitive test and passed with flying colors. Bragging about it, however, he let it slip that the doctors didn't have much faith in him.

The comment came as Hannity asked Trump about former Vice President Joe Biden's comment that he has "cognitive tests" all the time. Biden was referencing that he must deal with serious and complex issues frequently and that those things take a cognitive aptitude that he doesn't believe the current president has.

Trump dismissed Biden's comments saying that Biden "meant" that he gets tested for the coronavirus all the time. Biden did address that and said that he hasn't wanted to be tested because he doesn't want to take someone else's place in line that truly needs a test. Trump has mocked Biden for staying inside under quarantine.

Trump then pivoted to bragging about his competence: "I took it at Walter Reed, a medical center, in front of doctors, and they were very surprised," Trump bragged.

Yup, why settle for merely Barr openly interfering with the DOJ, to reduce Stone's sentence...

We can only hope that the Biden administration will break with precedent and send the slimy bastard to jail for the next 100 years or so- in Guantanamo. Or have him held in one of those cages that he is putting kids into.
