Boutros previously called his prosecution team “courageous” - after providing his non-mea culpa to judge Perry. Consistent with this courage to go after peaceful protesters, this filing by Boutros omits the names of the assistant US attorneys who engaged in misconduct.

The vacillation between taking Christopher Nolan way too seriously (he's a brilliant Auteur filmmaker who can do not wrong) and not seriously enough (the mean classicist is unfairly critiquing our precious boy) is giving me whiplash.

All you have to do is listen to the guy and a million red flags go up. There is zero concern for his daughter. Just tossing blame. A normal parent would be visibly upset and would stop at nothing to find out who hurt her.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 11h agoNEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen? MAX MILLER: What I can tell you is I didn't do that. 9 of the 11 previous days was my ex-wife's care. What's so troubling about child protective services is ...
The U.S. Attorney believes that a "public rebuke" and an internal review are sufficient for egregious prosecutorial misconduct that put my family through hell. My seven-year-old is still having nightmares and panic attacks related to this case. Justice requires transparency and accountability.
Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social · 9h agoChicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed. From @schuba.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/0...
The full brief is remarkable. While the U.S. Attorney attempts to downplay the misconduct, he admits to discussing the incident with Main Justice as early as Sept. 27 and having the Oct. 9 grand jury transcript as early Oct. 14. The brief shows that the office repeatedly misled the Court.
Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social · 13h agoNew overnight: Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros’ office says the “Broadview Six” prosecutors have self-reported the events of the tainted prosecution to the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility as it argues against a special counsel. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/98/58/82c837...
Prosecutors said the insinuation of collaboration with the White House was “the product of fevered paranoia and delusional speculation.” On that basis, Judge Perry denied discovery re: comms "with officials in Washington, saying she trusted prosecutors when they said that no such records existed."

This is also an underappreciated reason we live in a gerontocracy. No company is giving you leave to campaign and with term limits in many states, you best case have a job for around a decade. Meanwhile, old people are bored and have infinite time, plus a lot of money usually!
Kate Sills@katelynsills.com · 22h agoI think voters don't realize being a candidate is unpaid, and even if you win, the pay isn't great for the stress level and the "reward" is being a regular speaker at Elks Lodge & the Farm Bureau.

the point of contrived moral dilemmas like the trolley problem is to trick people into entertaining the thought of committing atrocities everything about these scenarios is imaginary and improbable and designed to make you accept bureaucratic murder as a banal inevitability

Some recent reviews of the RECAP extension are incredibly kind — thank you! If you haven't tried RECAP and you know what PACER is, give it a shot. It takes 1 minute to install, literally, and then you'll save money while helping others. free.law/recap/
Sharks are part of a natural ecosystem, and only woke scolds who want to destroy American values close beaches. If you do enough pushups, you can swim away from any shark.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterdayBombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
I believe in the kind of America where no matter where you grow up, the color of your skin, how you pray, you deserve equal rights in this country. You deserve to go to a good school, get healthcare when you need it, and know that you can graduate and get a good job.

Peter Weir Watch update: I saw The Year of Living Dangerously! It was surprisingly wonderful. Weir's love for humanity & wisdom are apparent And Mel Gibson & Sigourney Weaver had incredible, believable chemistry, which I did not expect after only seeing Gibson as a crusty old man with awful views

And this @politico.com story from 2021 rightly points out Miller's abusive past and his family's billionaire wealth and long-time Republican connections in Ohio, so it was all known to Bernie Moreno before his daughter's wedding: web.archive.org/web/20211105...
