Donald Trump is now a convicted felon and everyone wants to know why his attorneys phoned in the defense. They… don’t have good answers. At all. Continuing the Trump beat, Judge Aileen Cannon continued to display a delicate mix of cynical obstinance and outright incompetence, slow-playing a motion to keep Trump from publicly lying about the FBI and then asking for briefing on how the Supreme Court’s CFPB case impacts the prosecution — which it only could have if the Supreme Court came out the other way. And students no longer care about the USNWR rankings… but maybe there’s a better measure of prestige.
