Coverage of the economic damage caused by Trump's trade war minimizes the degree to which that's just the affect of Trump using unlawful power when he doesn't understand what he's doing.

In her interviews with Vanity Fair, Susie Wiles and an anonymous White House official who might be conspiracy theorist JD Vance claim that only newer Trump voters really care about Jeffrey Epstein.

In addition to demanding treatment inconsistent with what Todd Blanche and Lindsey Halligan demanded for Donald Trump in similar situations in his stolen document prosecution, DOJ wants an order preventing Dan Richman from using his data for any purpose other than the legal challenge he has launched to get it back.

It's true that Judge Kollar-Kotelly's decision requiring the government to get a warrant if it wants to use stuff seized from Dan Richman to prosecute Jim Comey may cause headaches for the dream of further prosecution. But it's not at all clear that it's a sound decision.

The people involved in the Brian Cole prosecution are likely involved in a delicate game of chicken having to balance weaknesses of the case, a ticking clock, and the political disinterest in learning too much more about this case.
