Adam Schiff then joined the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles as a federal prosecutor

Jamie Raskin was also a professor of constitutional law at American University’s Washington College of Law for more than 25 years

Liz Cheney also practiced law at White & Case and at the International Finance Corporation.

That is at least three members with Law Degrees and at least one who worked as a Prosecutor. That's enough.

If you do not have a "Defense..." attorney?

You are not a prosecutor. Really as simple as that. You are in an entirely different role that is not "Apples..."/"Apples..." with an actual prosecutor. You are not fenced in by the same things that an actual prosecutor would be because crossing such lines would be misconduct.

Oh, yes, let’s spy on faculty and students to make sure there’s no “indoctrination” going on. I particularly liked the part where it was said there was no firm decision on what would be done with those results. Now, if I were on a college campus on Florida and I was handed some half-assed survey, I’d lie my ass off, and people probably will.

Leon County School Board approves LGBTQ guide after fierce debate

How are they not slapping a target on a kids back who already starts off life marginalized and in survival mode sometimes against their own families and community just for existing?

Then on top of that you have state sanctioned hate and targeting of them. You have to send a warning to other families and parents if a kid just goes on a trip? Or just having "a gay" in your PE class needs parental notice? Like they are some kind of unsafe freak? I mean its just evil and anyone supporting that isn't some better person, or righteous. They are petty trifling and cold hearted. They don't care about kids. They care about exacting vengeance on people they deem less than them.

Then people whine about Pride month or Pride celebrations. Why do they have to celebrate? Look at the **** we are given just for existing. If you can make it all the way to an age where you can go to a Pride event and just be yourself and be free you fucking earned that celebration.

That I have a question about. What school districts still have same sex gym classes?

The last time my school district had that was when Cap Picard said he he was Locutus of Borg. Most classes are merged together while listed as single sex on the master schedule.

That is a pure WITCH HUNT.

Now let LGBTQA+ folks decide to open an all LGBTQA+ charter school. While those SAME Don't Say Gay Moms would celebrate-they wouldn't for long. Because as those kids go to that charter school so does the FUNDING they bring to a school.

What is wrong with Americans?

House Speaker Philip Gunn, serving as his church’s attorney, was publicly accused of trying to cover up a sex abuse scandal that was featured prominently in this week’s explosive report about mishandling of sex abuse cases in Southern Baptist Convention churches.

Typical.

Meanwhile, WBE has grown a second liver as if he was living in Cronenberg'a latest.

Libertarian Conference Cancels Notorious White Nationalist

“The Most Canceled Man in America” has, in fact, been canceled.

Nearly two weeks ahead of the libertarian conference FreedomFest, a lead conference organizer told The Daily Beast on Thursday night that officials had booted the holocaust-denying, Vladimir Putin-applauding, white supremacist rally-going Nicholas Fuentes from the conference’s lineup.

Fuentes had initially been scheduled to appear on a Freedom Fest panel titled “How to Fight the Information Police.” Fuentes was also supposed to host a screening of his short film, “The Most Canceled Man in America,” according to an agenda obtained by The Daily Beast.

FreedomFest would have put Fuentes in the same conference as the likes of other scheduled speakers like Fox News host Lisa Kennedy, former congressman Justin Amash (L-MI), and failed presidential and New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang. On Thursday, though, FreedomFest executive director Valerie Durham told The Daily Beast that Fuentes had been banned after several unnamed “leaders” complained about his appearance on the schedule.

“FreedomFest strongly believes in the fundamental right to free speech and free expression in our nation’s civil discourse,” Durham said in an email. “However, we also reserve the right not to endorse certain points of view that lead our nation away from such discourse.”

Durham conceded that the conference “did not adequately vet the film.”

These people aren’t operating in a vacuum. Every one them has access to a large pool of legal experts.
You’re trying very hard to cast doubt on this committee and their findings. Putting more time and effort in where a simple ‘I don’t believe it’ or nothing at all would’ve sufficed.

To put this politely?

That's just straight up bull.

Take a minute, and find any other instance where I have pointed to another component of this thing and taken issue with it.

That I have not does not change that this particular aspect of this thing is on seriously shaky ground.

A good prosecutor always has sufficient evidence to support what his or her witness testifies to before putting them under oath. There are a lot of cards still left to be played by the J6 Committee, so this may not be the last time we hear about it.

Also, she literally saw the emotional fallout of what had happened. "I noticed the head of Mr. Trump's security detail sitting in a chair, looking somewhat discombobulated, a little lost," and then she asked what happened. It's not like she got gossip around the water cooler.

A black man was shot at SIXTY TIMES and killed while running away from cops, but this very white shitstain was taken alive despite having murdered three cops and a police dog:
