The
Streisand
Effect
Finds
Its
Spirit
Animal:
The
Atlantic
published
an
article
based
on
multiple
insider
accounts
of
Kash
Patel’s
drinking
prompting
the
FBI
Director
to
promise
swift
legal
retaliation.
He
made
good
on
that
pledge
with
a
flimsy
$250
million
defamation
complaint
(possibly
drafted
by
AI),
that
only
managed
to
look
weaker
the
more
he
talked
about
it.
DOJ
Does
A
Solid
For
The
KKK:
Acting
AG
Todd
Blanche
and
FBI
Director
(for
the
moment…)
Kash
Patel
announced
criminal
charges
against
the
Southern
Poverty
Law
Center
for
its
work
gathering
intelligence
on
known
hate
groups.
But
apparently
no
one
bothered
to
double-check
the
charging
documents,
because
the
indictment
fails
to
allege
a
whole
element.
S&C’s
Letter
To
The
Court,
Translated:
‘Please’:
Sullivan

Cromwell
submitted
an
emergency
filing
asking
a
federal
court
not
to
sanction
the
firm
after
discovering
their
filings
were
riddled
with
AI
hallucinations.
Powell
Pwns
Pirro:
Adding
to
the
DOJ’s
woes
this
week,
Jeanine
Pirro
tried
to
quietly
extricate
the
Justice
Department
from
its
phony
case
against
Federal
Reserve
Chair
Jerome
Powell.

The

The
Fifth

Tells

The
Fifth
Circuit
embarked
on
some
quirky
mental
gymnastics
to
explain
why
Texas
can
demand
public
schools
post
the
Ten
Commandments
in
every
classroom
is
not
“establishment
of

Chief

in
inventing
the

as

Letter
To

Authoritarianism:
Jonathan
Turley
is
just
a
Republican
talking

pullstring

at
this

but
his
lament
over
the
fall
of
Viktor

is
conspiracy

Because

DEI:
Corporate
legal
departments,
which
once
loudly
demanded
diversity
commitments
from
outside

are
now
quietly
letting
those
commitments
expire,
in
what
we
in
the

call
“a

A

mild

the

otherwise.
