But no, she&#8217;s taking a couple of days off for Rosh Hashanah (she wishes us all &#8220;besorot tovot&#8221;\u00a0 (may we hear good news.) She did, however, provide <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149\/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149.252.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a link to it<\/a> (it&#8217;s down from 180 pages to 168.) No, I didn&#8217;t try to read it &#8211; I am having an everything everywhere all at once week. But if you want cammentary without going through the whole thing, i&#8217;d recommend Harry Litman at Talking Feds on YouTube. He&#8217;s detailed, yet speaks colloquially enough for just about anyone to grasp all the points. Also yesterday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpr.org\/2024\/10\/03\/tina-peters-former-mesa-county-clerk-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tina Peters was sentenced<\/a> &#8211; to 9 years in prison. The judge had some things to say.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/heathercoxrichardson.substack.com\/p\/october-2-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heather Cox Richardson<\/a> did address the filing along with the debate &#8211; and while it&#8217;s longish, it&#8217;s nowhere near 168 pages. Also, it makes one thing pellucidly clear which I want to point out, because you will see (maybe already have seen) articles in sources you trust which claim that Trump** said &#8220;Make them riot!&#8221; That is false. Those words were spoken, but not by Trump**. It was Mike Roman in DEtroit who said that. Richardson provides the circumstances under which it was said.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone here who loves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/132241966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Betty Bowers<\/a> is going to really love this. Not that she is known for being subtle, but this one really pulls no punches and takes no prisoners.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u2_XaiYyE6Q?si=0BHZ73Bpkxn6Wdlq\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TyBiBH8DdfA?si=l2NY-f6P6Ej5KmsN\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/recount.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/recount.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/recount-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/recount-150x109.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I had expected some commentary from Joyce Vance Wednesday night on Jack Smith&#8217;s newest filing, which was (somewhat redacted) released then by Judge Chuutkan.
