- What I warned about yesterday has happened. We've crossed the Rubicon. It's over.
- It cannot be overstated what has happened.
- Here's Trump's hand-picked prosecutor - the only prosecutor to be in the grand jury room, and the only one willing to put her name on the indictment. She had been named by Trump as Acting U.S. Attorney only four days earlier.
- She'll never get a conviction. (It wasn't even a lie by Comey.) And, by the way, she sought another charge against Comey from the grand jury, and they refused to do so.
- And it's just the beginning.
- And I'll say it again: Trump isn't leaving office in January of 2029.
- What's this about?
- Trump has signed an executive "memo" for the federal government to target ANTIFA. There is no ANTIFA. It is - and this is the point of it all - just any group at any gathering that Trump wants to call ANTIFA. And when Stephen Miller is behind it, look out.
- But the most dangerous and potentially telling thing Trump said yesterday largely went unnoticed. Trump was asked who he blamed for an “uptick” in political violence, and below is his response. (Video.) He's basically giving the go ahead for private groups to be his own Brownshirts. Remember when he told the Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by?" We're here.
- On a lighter and different note, this quote is even crazier when you hear it.
- I don't think ICE agents are your typically trained police officers based upon a couple of videos floating around yesterday.
- Video - Dropping a gun and then pointing it at the crowd.
- Video - He didn't have to do that.
- Metroplex quick hits:
- He's probably right.
- There's a million people who live at The Village. The body was found at 11:00 a.m. That's all we know (which is now the standard for any DFW "local" news.).
- That's quite the drop off at the beginning of that ride.
- The Business Second™.
- Lauren Whitener Clock: 6 years and 84 days.
