A fox has been put in charge of the hen house.
Fire Wray and abolish the court.

“Get out of my bedroom.”
Sharyl Atkisson
She’s suing the Justice Department for spying on her, and specifically our old pal Rod Rosenstein. If she wins, this will lend further credence to the claim that they spied on the Trump campaign, but it may take a while to play out in court.

It would be nice to finally see some accountability for all of this abuse of power, corruption and lawlessness.

I don’t understand why the Barr Justice Department continues to stonewall on the Flynn case. Someone should ask Barr.
The Babylon Bee
Attacks on it are attacks on free expression.
Yes, they are. If there’s anything the Left can’t stand more than not being able to control others’ speech, it’s being mocked. Why is why we should do it at every opportunity.
Waiting For Durham
A Twitter thread for the impatient, which explains why it’s taken so long for the reports and indictments, even though we’ve know what happened for a couple years now.
The Mueller Team
…perpetuated the FBI’s misconduct.
This is my shocked face.
Email Problem?
I’ve got a file containing all my sent email for the past decade in date order. I want to find it for the years 2011 and 2012. My bash (or perl?) scripting skills are pretty rusty, but here is the pseudocode for what I need to do:
******************************
Open original text file read only
Open new file for writing
Set Printflag to “false”
For each line of file
If match regular expression “Date: .* 2011” set Printflag to “true.”
If match regular expression “Date: .* 2013” set Printflag to “false.”
If Printflag, copy line to new file
Close both files.
******************************
Note that the regular expression may have to be a little more specific (like maybe include a match for [Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec] between “Date:” and the year). The format for a full line would be
“Date: Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:41:31 -0400”
The idea is to scan the file until 2011 begins, start echoing lines to the new file, and stop doing it when 2013 begins. Maybe exit at that point so it doesn’t waste time or cycles going through the rest of it.

Never mind, I got the answer from Twitter.
[Saturday-morning update]
For those curious, here’s the solution to the problem:
$ perl -ne “print if /Date:.*2011/../Date:.*2013/” $oldfile >> $newfile
Healthcare Insanity
I just got the doctor’s bill for my back problems. The doctor’s visit was $900, which seems crazy high to me for five minutes with her, but the insurance paid for it. The X-ray was a couple hundred bucks, but the insurance covered that, too.
But the insurance didn’t cover all of the back brace (which I only wore for a day or two, after deciding it wasn’t doing me much good). It only covered $4350 dollars, and I got stuck with the bill for the other $644. Yes, that’s right; they charged five effing grand for a lumbar-support brace.
After Christmas, I’m going to raise hell. There has to be some kind of mistake. If not, I’m going into the back-brace business.

Note: I haven’t been billed for the MRI yet. I can’t wait.
The FBI
Howie Carr doesn’t pull any punches.
[Sunday-morning update]
A reckoning will come for these political hacks.
I hope so.

[Monday-afternoon update]
The FBI’s darkest hour. There may be good people working there, but it’s a corrupt culture.

The FISA Mess
Yes, multiple someones need to go to prison. Or rather, justice requires them to.
[Update a few minutes later]
The problems pointed out by the IG go far beyond “errors” and “sloppiness.” It was a fraud on the court, in order to set up innocent people. And who knows how much more of it has been going on? At a minimum, Flynn’s conviction should be overturned.

John Brennan (someone else who should be wearing orange) says that the FBI were “doing their level best.”

James Comey is a pathological liar.
Well, yeah, ya think?
[Update late morning]
Horowitz destroys the media lie that he found no political bias.
