If you have the self-control
A former federal official facing multiple criminal and civil investigations does not know when to shut it.
Keep talking, pal. Fani’s listening (NPR):
A Georgia judge will soon decide what, if any, parts of a special grand jury report will be made public following an eight-month investigation into efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
The special purpose grand jury, which was dissolved earlier this month after completing its work, did not have indictment powers but could use gathered evidence and testimony to recommend that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis seek charges. Several people, ranging from Trump’s onetime personal attorney to Republicans who falsely claimed to be presidential electors, were informed they were targets of the investigation.
Jurors voted to release their report to the public, but the extremely rare nature of the special grand jury and limited legal authority have led to hurdles that could delay disclosure of the findings.
Is reflexive self-incrimination a (disordered) personality type? This guy below, for example. The viral video from 2019 is recirculating perhaps in response to recent shooting rampages in California:
The gentleman in the video, Steven Connelly, has a history of being investigated, too. Connelly was out on bail in 2019 from a December 2018 Milwaukee arrest involving making threats. He had a criminal history from before that. But after the mass shootings in California over the last week, perhaps his behavior should give us pause:
According to a criminal complaint, neighbors told police Connelly was in the hallway of an apartment on North Murray Avenue on Dec. 11 yelling about shooting females.
“He threatened everybody in the building so they evacuated all of us,” a neighbor who didn’t want to be identified said that day.
When officers arrived, Connelly was holed up in his apartment claiming he had an AR style rifle pointed at the door, the complaint said.
“The defendant continued to yell about two females who he stated had drugged him and allowed 7,000 homosexuals (to) rape him; he wanted his revenge,” prosecutors wrote in the complaint. “He would kill all those involved with a machine gun and Liberals that were judging him. The defendant believed they (the police) were there to assault him and he would defend himself.”
Revenge may be behind the shootings in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay, California. “Good thing it’s so hard for ppl like that to get AR15s,” one Twitter user said sarcastically. The Monterey Park shooter brought a “silenced” MAC-10.
It’s beginning to look as if the “very stable geniuses” among the guns-everywhere crowd are more intent on terrorizing the rest of us than in defending themselves.
