A-Block SPECIAL COMMENT: The likeliest explanation is that she said it in order to fool the cultists to think that there is no chance Trump could actually go to JAIL in Washington, Florida, New York, or Atlanta (or to fool Trump himself) but Trump’s noted parking lot attorney Alina Habba has gone on Newsmax and insisted that she tells anybody who panics about the prospect that Trump will be arrested that “he’s protected by Secret Service. Period. He’s protected by Secret Service, number one … Number two, he did nothing wrong … Secret Service will always protect President Trump. That’s the truth. They have to. Wherever he is. But it’s not even something we think about.” The Newsmax host then literally dares a judge to try to jail him. Did they literally present a passive-aggressive threat? Or just carefully phrased one to reassure the idiots that Trump, who is at great risk in four different courtrooms, is not at risk at all?

According to former Secret Service agent Dan Emmett, only a small part of the the Secret Service actually protects the President; they [largely … this was pre-Trump] are apolitical; they do not swear an oath to protect the President; and they answer to the Director of the Secret Service (Kimberly Cheatle) and the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (Alejandro Mayorkas).

So it appears that Habba is wrong. They’ll only make sure no one kills him while they escort him into the police station.

DEMENTIA J. TRUMP SCOREBOARD: He has gotten the day wrong again (and this time it’s on videotape) AND gotten the year wrong — twice — while the time stamps of his posts indicate he’s being plagued by insomnia. We can’t ignore these little-for-Trump things. The bar has to be: If Biden did this, what would the Times, the Post, and the networks say about him? Remember the polling: If both are thought too old, Biden wins in a landslide.

AND YOUR JOHNSON MAY NOT LAST: The 5th-String Speaker continues to pile up L’s and the creepy factor continues to mount. Not only did he try to tie aid to Israel to cutting IRS investigation of wealthy tax cheats, but it turns out that as late as seven years ago he demanded that every candidate for office be subjected to a religious purity test — exactly the opposite of what the Constitution says.

That’s Article VI, to be exact.

That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck!
