It gets a little deep, but we can't allow that to help us keep ourselves in the dark about all this shit.
We need to dig into it.
This one "small-ish" bit of a monstrously huge and ugly scandal reminds me of the scene in The Post, when the reporters get their first look at about half of the 7,000 pages that made up The Pentagon Papers.
Phang is here talking about one pretty tiny bit, but it illustrates for me that we have to try to chop this thing down into bite-sized chunks, and get after it a little at a time.
Whenever there's another weird thing that POTUS TACO does, we have to stop for a second to consider the possibility that it's meant to distract us from something else.
I can't say for sure that Katie Phang came up with it, but if Trump can't just blow this off, then maybe this is it.
Remember, we've sent USAGs to prison before. Finding enough leverage to get Bondi outa there might not be such a hard row to hoe.
I get the feeling that somebody like Pam Bondi fits with the Trump administration because she can't really hack it in a profession based on actual competition and contention, and so she's been forced to fail up her entire career.
Also, I've been wondering if the courts could help themselves enforce their rulings by coming down hard on Trump's lawyers when they bring the kind of ridiculous garbage they're always bringing before the judges.
Torpedo a few of these clowns, and maybe enough of the others will hesitate to lick Trump's boots the way they've been doing.
She makes a point worth serious consideration: Judges are having a hard time getting Trump's goons to comply, and there's a lot of hand-wringing about the obvious probability of a crisis that ensues if the courts ordered the US Marshals into the fray. So maybe the thing to do is get after the lawyers.
I'm thinking Katie Phang could make a pretty good Attorney General.
