The latest I have:
"THE INVESTIGATIONS — Meanwhile, as Trump and Pence shadowbox in Washington, a ton of new details have emerged about Jan. 6-related investigations.

— Two key figures in Pence world — former chief of staff MARC SHORT and former legal counsel GREG JACOB — testified recently before a federal grand jury investigating Jan. 6, per ABC’s Katherine Faulders, Alexander Mallin and John Santucci and WSJ’s Sadie Gurman and Aruna Viswanatha . They were compelled to appear by subpoenas. The Justice Department has been asking about the efforts by Trump lawyers, including JOHN EASTMAN and RUDY GIULIANI, to try to subvert the 2020 election.

“If the mob had gotten closer to the vice president, I do think there would have been a massacre in the Capitol that day,” Short told ABC’s Linsey Davis.

“The interviews with Mr. Pence’s advisers suggest prosecutors are targeting a senior circle of Trump associates who pushed for the former vice president to accept the false documents and halt the certification of President Biden’s victory,” per the WSJ.

— More signs of the DOJ probe’s scope: Newly public subpoenas sent last month to two Arizona state senators shed light on investigators’ efforts to uncover the false alternate electors scheme, WaPo’s Devlin Barrett and Yvonne Wingett Sanchez report . The subpoenas to KAREN FANN and KELLY TOWNSEND “seek all communications or documents exchanged with those who served as Arizona’s alternate electors, as well as communications with state Rep. MARK FINCHEM.”"

The spineless aka no balls R's are sucking up to the Clown show today in DC  
clearly driven by no principles and following the "Get elected and then when elected do whatever it takes to get reelected" political mantra at every level.
How those F'ers can posture that is way beyond me.  Clearly they have selectively ignored their oath of office "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States..."  
This is not rocket science, this is putting Country first.  
What a collective group of Richard sucking A Holes.
I need to stop now.

I really hope I’m the first to register  a “Richard-sucking-a-holes” account 

just saw that DOJ made it official that trump himself is now under criminal investigation from the DOJ. 2 pence aides have already testified to the federal grand jury.

As you have longevity here you know that Richard's Sporting Goods chain has to be expressed as such for who knows why.  But we have work arounds.  
Stay healthy and safe out there-

I work with them and it always makes for some interesting emails/conversations unless you abbreviate. We usually go with “DSG” unless you are trying to brighten someone’s day with a wiener joke.

Tell that to the "thumb" I was talking to at Starbuck's this morning.

Not enough/large-enough of these in the world!

The DOJ has to have a clean head-shot for that to go forward.  You get one bullet and one shot.  Can't miss.  Tall hill to climb but I hope they will.

You’re assuming there will be debates.

dmchicago

If Trump is the nominee, I'd bet my bidet there would be no debates.

lousubcap

Surely, in the end-game the R's cannot be that stupid.  Perhaps wishful thinking but if Cheeto rides in on his big white horse we as a nation are gonna be in a very dark place.  
Since the R leadership doesn't have the balls to send him packing, the Justice Dept needs to come thru.  That's my only consolation right now. 
Like I mentioned earlier, Cheeto makes Nixon look like a saint.

Don't see trump or Biden in the mix....but whatever.....maybe harris

lousubcap

Harris has no chance.  She's been marginalized beyond salvation-a good thing as I view it.  
The run-up will be a $hit show but as long as Cheeto is on the sideline, I can work with anyone else.  

Botch

One possibility that I've been mulling for a long time:
 
- The 1%er Class (who the rank-n-file republicans actually work for) decide that cheeto is too dangerous, and order the RNC to support deSantis (this may be already happening),
 
- cheeto continues to hold rallies.  The "love" he gets is intoxicating, and he can't give it up,
 
- he doesn't get the republican nomination.  his ego of course can't accept that, so he immediately forms his own party (hopefully built by his website team), and runs,
 
- the republican vote is split in two, and the dems take it in a landslide.
 
 
Now, just today I caught wind of another development: apparently a bunch of dems, including one of my favorites from their party Martin Yan, are forming their own party.  Supposedly planted right in the middle, politically.  Personally I'd like to see BOTH these things happen; after watching how things happen, my whole adult life I'm convinced a two-party system is Not the right way to go, anymore.

Agreed; she has as much of a chance as Pence does.

1992- G.H.W. Bush lost because of Ross Perot and his 19% of the popular vote was made up of more R's than D's.  That was a major influencer in the outcome.  Yes, "It's the economy, stupid" phrase was a great hook but...
Be extremely careful of what you wish for and know going in how the third party is gonna break on election day because their candidate isn't gonna win.  FWIW-

Martin Yan?

Botch

As a quick clarification, I was hoping for four parties, not three.

That guy can cook!

Botch

d'Oh!!  Andrew, not Martin.  
 
And, as a pre-emptive disclaimer, my favorite repub presidential candidate is Larry/Hulk/Paul/Ben Hogan.  He won't win as he doesn't look Presidential; that shouldn't matter but sadly it does.

Also, it's Yang - not Yan.

I can't see myself supporting a third-party candidate no matter how much I might want to unless ranked choice voting was also in place.

Would give Pence more credit than harris
