Five threes in Wordle/Wordley and one two in four days.
Lucky guesses for first words by my tennis partners were the key.

I called it. This was a terribly prosecuted case by the SDNY. They never made the case that trafficking was involved. As for RICO…. they weren't even close.

Former FBI Director Comey's daughter suffers high-profile loss as prosecutor in Diddy trial
Fox News, Jul 2, 2025

Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey played a leading role on the eight-member team that prosecuted rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs in a sex trafficking and racketeering trial that came to a close Wednesday with mixed results.

The daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, Maurene Comey faced a setback when the jury found the performer not guilty of some of the most serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. However, the jury did side with prosecutors on two counts, finding Combs guilty of violating the Mann Act of 1910 by transporting women across state lines for prostitution.

Maurene Comey was a prosecutor in the Jeffrey Epstein trial prior to his death in prison and also had a lead role in Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial.

She leads the violent and organized crime unit in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

Not me!

I'd be surprised if there is one briefer who is surprised.  I am dismayed at the language Jackson used in her dissent.  "Full stop" and "Wait for it..."

Even FDR did not want government unions.  Unions and Management are supposed to have an adversarial relationship, sitting on opposite sides of the negotiations.  Government Unions are often on the same side as the government when they negotiate, and that usually leads to looting the taxpayers.

"Usually?"

Government unions are a patent conflict of interests and should not be allowed to exist.

Immigration/ICE/Border / Re: Trump admin fast-tracks death penalty case for transgender cult suspect in Border Patrol killing
« Last post by Smokin Joe on July 02, 2025, 04:13:44 pm »
So this person kills (allegedly) a Border Patrol Agent, and may be tied to a group that has been linked to multiple homicides.

As for the former, it is a capital crime, and the Death Penalty is a prosecutorial option.

As for the latter, if there is a link, the person is convicted, pursue determining if the group is a murder cult of some sort and consider a terrorist group designation.
