Forget it happened and no one will cite it in the future when a corrupt president gets in there? apparently. late last night the justice department under merrick garland told the court the justice department is now going to continue the position of the trump era justice department in the stomach-churning case of e. jean carroll. you'll recall this high-profile case, she accused president trump of rape. he responded by insulting her and calling her a liar. in response to that, she sued him for defamation in his personal capacity as a private citizen. the allegation was about an alleged rape whi...

At least for a while during the biden administration, the justice department kept doing it, kept seeking the reporters' records and not telling the news organizations what they were doing. at least for a while. at least until it started to come out. come on. i mean, i get the poetic justice of putting judge merrick garland in this really big, prestigious job after he was so mistreated by the republicans in the senate and after he didn't get that supreme court seat. i get the good karma, whatever there. but at the justice department which he is running, there is a challenge unlike any other in ...

I don't think anybody expected it would be continued. we're going to have more on the e. jean carroll case, that shocking decision coming up a little later in the show. we're also watching closely now in terms of how the justice department is going to go after reporters' sources, after this kerfuffle with the "new york times" reporters and "the washington post" reporters, under the source of propublica about rich americans radically underpaying their taxes compared to regular americans. unauthorized disclosure of private and stolen information from the irs is a big deal, but so is trying to ...
