SPEECH, CIVIL LAW ,THE INDEPENDANCE OF THE DOJ AND THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE




                                            THE DEAR LEADERS 
                                

SECOND UPDATE: JAMES CONEY INDICTED! One US Attorney, with many years of experience, refused to seek the indictment of former FBI Director James Coney, so the Dear Leader fired him, brought in a civil lawyer with ZERO experience in criminal law, and lo and behold James Coney was indicted Thursday evening. 

Let September 25, 2025 be remembered as the day the Age of Totalitarianism arrived in the United States. 

And while we are at it- how about re-examining the grand jury system, because if some know-nothing civil shrill can get an indictment of James Coney, the grand jury system is broken. Just let the Dear Leader decide who should be charged. He knows so much about everything else and is, as he has said, a "very stable genius." 

Coming soon: The indictments of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney, Kamala Harris, Chris Christie, Lettia James, King Charles, Mitch McConnell, Pope Bennedict, Alex Baldwin, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Skenes (for throwing a sinker/splitter that is unhittable and should be illegal) and Russell Wilson (because his QB play - especially throwing the ball away on 4th down was downright criminal.) 

Aren't you just bursting with pride over our Best In The World- criminal justice system tonight?  Think about it- where else in the world can a leader orchestrate the arrest of his political opponents? Bolivia? Venezuela? North Korea? Iran? Cuba?  Russia (no- they just assassinate Putin's opponents and dispatch with the show trials we have here). All the great countries we should be emulating and with the help of our Dear Leader are. 

TNF Update before we begin. We like the over 43.5. The Cardinals are home dogs getting 1.5 against the surging Seahawks. If you have to, Seattle reverts to the mean and comes down to earth. Arizona +1.5. But if you want to go that route, eschew the points and take Arizona +110.  

We want to say goodbye to a few things. 

1) Freedom of speech. Check out Mr. Markus's blog. A very respected AUSA was FIRED because in 2017, before he was working for the government, he made some posts critical of the Dear Leader in DC. Exposed (and who exposed him has been the subject of intense chatter in the federal courthouse), he was FIRED because criticism of the Dear Leader will NOT be allowed. 

2) A moment of silence if you will. Mr. Markus has confessed on his blog he is, it really pains us to write this, engaged in a three-month CIVIL TRIAL. Ewww Gross. 

Another one bites the dust. 

3) The failing NY Times today reported here  that the DOJ instructed multiple jurisdictions to open investigations into George Soros for his criticism of the Dear Leader. The DOJ was told to do this by the Dear Leader himself.  So goodbye to the independence of the DOJ. If you recall, last week the Dear Leader ordered HIS Attorney General to immediately indict  NY AG Letitia James  and former FBI Director James Comey. If you recall, James obtained a civil judgment against the Dear Leader's businesses in NYC and that, of course, is a crime. The crimes of Comey against the Dear Leader are well known and need not be repeated here. 

A word about civil law. 😢

Ah the siren song and allure of the civil world, much like the allure of the dark side of the force, is strong. It is beguiling and ensnares even better men (and women) than us- as Mr. Markus surely is.   

Careful readers will remember that our namesake, in the episode entitled Rumpole and The Bubble Reputation sees our grizzled veteran of the Old Bailey's criminal cases eagerly jump into the civil defense of a newspaper charged with libel in which there is both a large retainer and, as Rumpole salivates over-  £500/day refreshers. 


Alas we have lost another to the power of the Dark Side.

Claims that the current administration acts undemocratically pale in comparison to the Biden Administration’s chilling assault on free speech, which weaponized government influence to silence dissent. Tech giants like Google, Meta, and Twitter admitted to censoring content under pressure from Biden officials, targeting COVID-19 and election-related posts. Google confessed to removing YouTube content, including discussions of the COVID-19 lab-leak theory—now deemed plausible by the FBI and CIA—resulting in permanent bans for users like Dan Bongino and Sebastian Gorka. In 2025, Google began reinstating these accounts, acknowledging the wrongness of this censorship, yet the damage to public discourse was done.

The Biden Administration’s most Orwellian move was the 2022 Disinformation Governance Board, led by Nina Jankowicz, a figure with a troubling record. Jankowicz dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation and praised COVID-19 misinformation crackdowns, raising alarms about her suitability to oversee a board critics called a “Ministry of Truth.” Her appointment sparked outrage, leading to harassment and the board’s swift dissolution amid concerns it would police speech.

While the current administration’s actions may invite scrutiny, the Biden era’s overt pressure on platforms to suppress lawful speech, including humor and satire, and its attempt to institutionalize censorship through Jankowicz’s board set a far more dangerous precedent. These efforts stifled debate, eroded trust, and undermined democratic principles, far outweighing current critiques

Yes, private companies kicking people off their social media platforms and some disinformation board that never did anything and was disbanded was obviously much worse than the President directly and publicly ordering a criminal prosecution, firing a US Atty he had recently appointed who did not find PC for charges, and making a US Atty out of a lawyer who has never even been a prosecutor and previously represented the President personally in civil litigaiton, and that new US Atty personally bringing criminal charges against a political enemy of the President days after she was appointed by the President for that exact purpose.
