Gina Bisignano claims she entered into a plea deal in July. Which goes to show that there may be significant developments in the January 6 investigation that don't show up on public dockets.

Rolling Stone published another piece about the Trump Westchester course; this time ex-employees dished about insurance claims made related to flooding at the course in 2011. Will we learn what really happened?

John Durham included three sections in the Igor Danchenko indictment where he basically made unfounded accusations (and in at least one case, a provably false claim) without charging them.

Snap out of it. Pity parties don't do anything constructive except sell facial tissues. Far more happened yesterday than Virginia's gubernatorial race.

It's election day across the country with lots of local and state elections still underway. Take a look at some bullshit while waiting for the polls to close and votes to be counted.

Trump's attempt to claim privilege over White House records pertaining to January 6 is not, just, an obvious attempt by Donald Trump to cover up his own crimes. It's not just an attempt to hide how, in contrast to his predecessors, he did nothing as the nation's capital was attacked. It's also an attempt to hide whether Trump invited the terrorists inside the White House to plot the event. 

Chuck Rosenberg argues that you might as well hold Steve Bannon in criminal contempt, because he'll never testify truthfully anyway. That's likely true, in the short term. But it's worth noting that Mueller's team got Bannon to testify truthfully, once, though in the grand scheme of things his testimony ended up to be no use.

There's some indication that DOJ is letting cooperative January 6 defendants plead down from felony counts. Kevin Creek, whose alleged "multiple assaults" and civil disorder charge became a single assault charge after he provided "substantial cooperation" is the latest example.

When Sheldon Whitehouse asked Merrick Garland whether DOJ was following the funders of the January 6 riot yesterday, Garland replied that DOJ was using all the techniques that Whitehouse would have used from his time as a US Attorney, and then some.
