Joyce, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this DOJ memo from May that @maddow broke on her show tonight. Seems as though twitterverse is all over the place with opinions. I know you are not 100% so only when you feel well enough!!

Sorry to hear of your COVID status. Glad your symptoms are mild. I hope all symptoms resolve quickly and completely.

Thank you for your insight into the significance of this defendant’s sentencing recommendation and it’s relation to Trump. Still hopeful here that DOJ will charge ALL who’ve participated in the big lie and insurrection. ~Colleen

This 3% MAGA lunatic threatened to kill his own kids (as traitors) if they told anyone what he'd done. He ought to get a hefty sentence for that alone. He's a danger to his own family.

Hoping you and your family are on the mend.

Picture of you and nurse Dingus is priceless. How do we handle the frustration that this con man seems to be getting away with literally murder--he incited the riot-- while spitting in our faces every single day with his lies, his enablers, and his new schemes to avoid accountability for his actions? Merrick Garland is looking way too cautious and reminding us all of Robert Mueller, who we thought surely had left a lucrative private law practice for a good reason that would bear fruit. As far as trump it fell flat and even the case against Manafort was nullified by a pardon. Please share how you-- who "lives" in the world of law--cope with the inertia? Wishing you all a speedy and full recovery!

Joyce, I hope you get better soon and your family does not get long covid, which one of my biggest fears. So far, I have not gotten covid, thankfully. BA.5 and BA.2.75 are vaccine immune evasive.

Thank you for your explanation of Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Again thank you for this info. Sorry you all have COVID and wish y’all a speedy and restful recovery. Chickens and cats are prescribed to accomplish this. And then there’s Biff! 💕Be still my heart.

Thank you for, yet again, your clear and careful writing on a subject most of us have pretty limited knowledge about. I hope you and your family continue to have the mildest of cases and make complete recoveries 😕

Oh Joyce! So very sorry you caught the bug, but Dingus looks highly capable of great snuggles.

The 101 on sentencing was a fantastic overview and much appreciated, especially the look forward to what must be upcoming indictments.

Very excited to read this from Joyce! But, first let me give kudos to Barb McQuade for her MSNBC oped this morning laying out the case for charging DT with manslaughter.

I'm sorry that you have Covid, hope the symptoms stay mild, and glad to see that you're in capable paws. It seems like the new variant is irresistible! Re: sentencing......Bannon's will be coming up. Will the custodians give him a haircut?

Thank you for the clear explanation. I would also like to hear about the May DOJ memo that Rachel Maddow discussed last night. I hope that your Covid continues to be mild. We had it recently; my case pretty difficult, my husband’s very mild.
