Description

Sarah Longwell and Elliot Williams explain why courts keep rejecting Trump's defamation claims, what “actual malice” really means, and how his wave of lawsuits is really meant to pressure the media. Plus: the bizarre Trump-as-Jesus post, the growing use of the justice system for retribution, and why targeting witnesses like Cassidy Hutchinson should set off alarms.

I hope Sarah keeps both Andrew and Elliot on this venue. They are both wonderful and explain things simply.

Absolutely nothing more trust-building than a person who admits to making a mistake. Much appreciated.

Congress goes to work??? Didn't I hear they were on recess when they should've stood up to an illegal war?

I like Eliot, and his apology at the top was really sensitive. He demonstrated an admirable level of integrity.

Love the “three raccoons under a trench coat” comment. That would make a great logo for the Trump DOJ.

One of the largest structural faults in the U.S. Constitution is that the Attorney General is under the Executive Branch. The Department of Justice should be a separate branch.

I don't understand how anyone who was a personal attorney to Donald Trump isn't automatically dismissed or eliminated due to conflict of interest.
