it s nice to see you after a long time of not seeing you. it s wonderful to see you as well. thank you, chris. i appreciate it, my friend. and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. we re really happy to have you here. do you want to see a cute picture? cuteness is in the eye of the beholder, of course. and this is a picture of a guy, and i m not saying the guy in the picture is himself cute. honestly, what would i know? not my area of expertise. but i think just as a picture, regardless of the guy, i think i think as a picture, this is kind of cute. just in terms of composition. in part because it s got kind of a swirl effect. like on the upper left side of the image, we ve got his eye that s looking kind of winky, kind of headed downstream. but then on the lower right side of the image he has the big smirk heading straight up toward his ear. so the whole thing is kind of a swirl, you know? just as a picture, as a mug shot in particular, i think that s not bad
the picture is himself cute. honestly, what would i know?ur not my area of expertise. but i think just as a picture, regardless of the guy, i think i think as a picture, this is kind of cute. just in terms of composition. in part because it s got kind of a swirl effect. like on the upper left side of the image, we ve got his eye that s looking kind of winky, kind of headed downstream. but then on the lower right side of the image he has the big smirk heading straight up towara his ear. so the whole thing is kind of a swirl, you know? just as a picture, as a mug shot in particular, i think that s not bad. that person is the attorney general of the great state of texas, and that is in fact his mug shot. his name is ken. he was indicted and booked into the collin county jail in texas on felony securities fraud charges a few years ago. those felony charges are still pending against him.lo he is still under indictment on multiple felony counts, but it hasn t held him back. since
That the law is not very clear, and maybe it was abused, they re really taking a shot hoping that maybe they ll catch some appellate judge s ear somewhere. i don t see much to come it from. it is interesting that they kind of talk about well, some of the information that she got, she wouldn t have otherwise gotten. that s more of like a fourth amendment search and a poisonous tree argument that gets made in cases all the time. just not something that s going to carry the day for them here. what do you think about this project that s coming out of the legislature? so this is, as far as i understand it, for the first time the georgia legislature effectively giving itself the power to stop a prosecution that they don t like in state court. and there is a few steps along the way. they sort of appoint people to a commission that then makes a decision like that based on stated criteria that are very vague. but effectively, what it boils down to is it lets georgia legislatures stop prosecut
She can throw it in the trash can. she is not bound by it. it is no more a recommendation any more than it was written on a sticky note and stuck on her office door. she doesn t have to do anything that the special grand jury recommended. in fact, she has complete discretion to look at the facts, to look at the law, to make decisions about which individuals she may want to bring charges against, and on what offenses. so we re going to see this. there is going to be more and more of these pretrial motions. sort of that s the best to be expected. again, they sort of file something meaningless. and when they fall back and want to talk about vagueness and the constitutional provisions and that the law is not very clear, and maybe it was abused, they re really just taking a shot hoping that maybe they ll catch some appellate judge s ear somewhere. i don t see much to come from it. it is interesting that they kind of talk about well, some of the information that she got, she wouldn t have ot
Was proven? that was disproven? and what still dangles out there. i m struck by some of the most significant things we learned do not prove the republican thee citisis shows corruption. it s the things you mentioned, the memo is clear, the investigation began as a result of the information about george papadopoulos. nothing to do with carter page. we also learn, and this was not known previously, or at least confirmed, that the surveillance of carter page began many months later in october of 2016. so what does that tell us? the investigation that became the mueller investigation was already well under way. whatever mistakes were made, and this is hotly disputed in the application for surveillance of carter page could not corruptly infect the mueller investigation. it foils this pruitt of the poisonous tree argument. robert mueller should be fired,
