This isn’t that nefarious and is some of the only believable parts of the story.  Government employees are allowed to use their work phones for personal use within limits.  For records management, it’s the employee that is responsible to back up anything off the phone when leaving a job.  When you hand the phone in, you log out of everything and you do a hard factory reset. Someone else gets the phone or at the end of its lifecycle it is disposed of.

I'm gonna go out on the limb and suggest that a staffer for a junior Representative has to deal with less stringent protocols than a Secret Service agent.

    this is really boring and overhyped.  Most of the country doesn't care about topic, I'd say a 3 hour special on inflation would get more eyeballs.  Or a bikini contest.

DHS just announced this month they’d start backing up their very most senior people’s work phones.  SES and political appointees with the very top level of clearance. The fact is that the federal government is creaky, reactive, and responsive to these sorts of problems. Not proactive and forward thinking.

I wish I could listen in for all of his testimony.  I have found him to be highly entertaining.

Won’t they have to reconvene a new committee when the new congress is sworn in regardless?

I think they intend to be done by the end of the 117th session.  But if they're not, then yes.

Right it’s my understanding that the next season of Game of Insurrections is supposed to air sometime next month and I’d imagine they could squeeze the third and final installment prior to the swear in date.

If they wanted to be as petty and vindictive as their lunatic partners in that Animal House known as the Trump faction of the GOP, they should announce the issuance of their final report on January 3rd mere minutes before the term(s) of Kinzinger and possibly Cheney expire.

No, the final report should be the week before the midterms.

Only if there are no new developments that week in the Georgia case…or the New York case…or the Florida case

From what I saw earlier, no, he has not been. For what reason I can’t imagine.

They've probably been negotiating something privately. I'd imagine there are probably some legitimate concerns for his safety from the MAGOTs

How long before he's  grifting on the Fox News/OANN/Newsmax circuit? Friday?

Ornato was scheduled to speak to investigators in 2 days.

Gee, imagine that.

Condolences to Tony's family on his impending suicide.

Well not really, fuck him and his family.

95% of the sitting GOP are criminals. How did this fucking happen? How did we elect the worst of the worst to govern us?

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

First step towards POTUS/VP elections being run by U.S. Congress, not the States.  Gee, I can't possibly imagine what they're banking on in 2024.  The tradeoff was supposed to be Electoral College in exchange for individual states running their own elections to seat those electors.  

That's the kind of straight-up anti democratic shit that will drive me to find a new place to live.

We will be a fascist state w/in 5 years.  I don't see anyway to prevent it.  

Add seats to SCOTUS or a couple of retirements / (un)timely deaths in the next two years.

Democrats/progressives don't get to do things like that because conservative feelings might be hurt, or someone might think that decorum has gone out of the window.

Wow, let's make sure you answer that question you stupid, senile old man.

When Howard Stern would send Stuttering John out to ask embarrassing questions of celebs on the red carpet they were always smart enough to figure out it was a goof.  But this guy . . .

I would hope that the minute one state's legislature votes to throw out the election results they don't like the DoJ would immediately sue.  What's the possibilities there?

For the moment, the possibilities are the 12th Amendment and the 14th Amendment, which is supposed to guarantee something akin to ""one man one vote."

A bad ruling here would take the 12th Amendment off the table.  But the 14th would still be on the table and underlies most voting rights arguments.
