I agree with the general point about jumping to conspiracy, but ‘this fits a pattern as it has happened twice in 22 years’ is pretty weak. Especially in this instance.
huh, they got to popehat too. Interesting.

Some gang planted a bomb on the car of the federal judge I externed for, a few years before I worked for him. One of his cases when I worked for him involved prosecution of the head of a crime family/cult who had killed a reporter looking into them. He had a famous (but not good) defense attorney, and it took like 1.5 hours to read out all the offenses he was found guilty of. (And the drama was over when he was found guilty of being the “head of a continuing criminal enterprise” as like the 3rd [of 150 or so] count.)
I was surprised at their relatively modest house. Federal judges should make way more money, its absurd for them to be expected to take less than 10% of their market value in salary.

They make like $200k and their market value in most places is maybe $400-500k. Different for those in major cities, but many do not have top dollar practices or practice areas, especially now that the GOP wants to appoint judges fresh off law review.
Dems used to appoint law profs ($150kish) and some federal public defenders ($90k?). Over their lifetime I bet the median big city cop who retires with a full pension makes more than the median lawyer in a big city.)
Kavanaugh played the long game, doing pretty much only government and GOP work until being appointed to the DC Circuit. He must have lived fairly large while pulling in $100-130k or so for the DOJ or office of legal counsel.

Wild. I’d encourage anyone who hasn’t to listen to the TrueAnon interview with Farmer
Lol Alan Dershowitz, career civil libertarian who served as counsel for (shuffles papers) Donald Trump’s impeachment defense.
Details? I find the True Anon folks too personally insufferable to suffer through their self-congratulatory nonsense.
