it is topsy-turvy live news event kind of day. case in point, in a matter of about two minutes, we expect to hear from president biden. he will address the nation live on a number of topics, not the least of which is the abrupt stepback our country took today away from fairness and progress toward intolerance and discrimination. the conservative supreme court ruled 6-3 in favor of a colorado web designer, an evangelical named lori smith who refused to work on same sex weddings. the court said that the first amendment protected her from punishment. and it is a turning point decision that will flip the state of equal protections on its head and allow business owners to likewise evade punishment under similar laws in 29 states. and in the longer term, it could again signal a threat to the landmark decision of the 2015 case establishing the case of same sex couples to marry. and if you are wondering of the same sex couple, what they are doing, after being denied basic human decen
be a number more than 2,500 is putting a strain on the department, and that s not counting people who committed crimes outside or people involved in the fake elector scheme or people who were and former president trump. and the pace of information is not slowing down. it s growing. last night a spokesman for the 1/6 committee said they decided to begin sharing transcript interviews with the justice department. 20 at first but there may be more to come. that s because we re seeing more members of former president trump s cabinet meeting with the committee, including steve mnuchin and mick mulvaney. mick mulvaney talked about the questions the committee wanted answered. why did i communicate, why did i say what i said? i sent some tweets and texts on january 6th. they want to talk about that. i was fairly heavily involved in the trump campaign. they want to know about the discussions i had leading up to the election day and the discussions right after the election day and the
on meadow s ties to this case regarding a central criminal charge in smith s superseding indictment. the willful retention of a classified document that showed a military plan to attack iran. and one that showed multiple people at his bedminister club, referenced in meadow s book. according to an early draft, the draft, quote, includes a description of trump having a classified war plan, quote, on the couch at his office in bedminister new jersey at a meeting attended by meadows s ghost writer but not by meadows himself. the mention of the document being in possession was removed before the book was published. he asked that that paragraph be changed and that it would be, quote, problematic had trump had such a document in his possession. sources say that meadows told
