And it won't get better without confrontation.

There are two hearings today, one as to the DC case the other regarding the Fulton County case. Both go off at 10:00 am EST.

DOJ unsealed a good deal of grand jury information to include in its reply to Judge Cannon.

Over half of the discovery Trump has received either came from him originally or consists of overproduction of email from the Secret Service.

Thus far, Mark Meadows seems to have negotiated the various legal risks by only having to give as much testimony as required, delaying the time a grand jury locked him into a particular story.
