News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I wonder who Judge Boasberg will hire as Special Prosecutor?
Some feckless Republican insider who feigns doing the work and drags it out long enough for Trump to escape accountability?
Doubt that.
He's not going after Trump here. He can't. He's going after anyone else ignoring his legal orders though.
Adam Kinzinger would be a good choice, but maybe too political.
Edit: I also lay the DoJ's ineffectiveness to properly deal with Trump squarely at the feet of Biden & Garland.
Yeah. Garland was the Republican insider that scuttled the case for Trump. I dunno man. My cynicism is at its maximum. I wish I could allow myself to have hope that the right thing happens.
Can't pardon contempt. Boasman can literally jail everyone involved with ignoring his injunction except Trump. Used to be indefinitely, but I think that was capped.
Boasman can also deputize citizens if the Marshal service decides they don't want their jobs anymore.
Can't pardon civil contempt. The judge declared probable cause for criminal contempt, and crimes can be pardoned
Crap, you're right, I had that backwards.
That would be .. wild. Did not know that judges could deputize citizens. TIL!
Federal judges have a large toolbox to force compliance with the court.
It's petty & I hope it doesn't come to this, but personally, I'd love to watch some ICE agents getting ripped out of their homes at 3am.
Obviously KP from TX. You know the prosecutor that's guilty of multiple felonies.
