The final chapter of the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial featured several days of heated, often bitter testimony from two of the defendants: Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola.

In a piece reflecting on whether he it was right to publish the Christoper Steele dossier, Ben Smith seems blissfully ignorant of the likelihood that he was an unwitting mule for Russian disinformation.

For years, denialists have said that the Mueller indictment charging twelve GRU hackers in the hack-and-leak of the DNC and other victims might not be proven in court. Here's how DOJ proved a hack-and-trade case involving one of those twelve.

The stories Rudy Giuliani and Christina Bobb have told about efforts to overturn Georgia's election have started to fall apart. And lawyers for Ruby Freeman just asked Beryl Howell to force him to cough up the real story.

When the January 6 Committee asked Christina Bobb about the memo calling to seize the voting machines -- the metadata of which showed she authored -- she claimed she had nothing to do with it. No wonder she was the lawyer asked to certify that a diligent search of Mar-a-Lago for classified documents had occurred.

The standard story is wrong about the causes of the Revolutionary War. The Founders Constitution doesn't protect individual rights.

Proud Boy Zachary Rehl testified before jurors for two long days, insisting that the extremist group did not have a plan in place for Jan. 6.

The question is whether he leaked the documents solely for the adulation of teenagers, or whether some spooks IDed him as an easy mark.

On the face of it the shuffle of corporations from one state to another looks like a convenient consolidation. But this is Elmo's work and surely problematic.

The Proud Boys and their close associates have an establishes history of using intimidation to avoid legal consequences. That makes the concerns about being followed of jurors in the Proud Boy trial particularly troubling.
