Trump's 'sure loser' court case about to 'blow up' in DOJ's face: expert

Embattled Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is on track to have a high-profile prosecution “blow up in his face,” an expert said Thursday. Thee Justice department's "seashell" case against former FBI Director James Comey is a farce that should never have seen the light of day, former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg claimed on MS NOW. Comey, fired by President Donald Trump, was indicted by a federal grand on two charges in April for posting the picture on Instagram of the seashells spelling out "8647," which federal prosecutors insist was a threat to president’s life. In a recent response to the charges, Comey's lawyers detailed what MS NOW reporters described as "very bad facts" regarding the government's efforts to charge him."Worth reading all the ways the president and his aides ordered up the surveillance and prosecution of Jim Comey for a threat to Trump's life – despite agents concluding no threat existed," said MS NOW's Carol Leonnig on Wednesday. Aronberg on Thursday morning made no attempt to conceal his amusement and argued the case will be received rather badly in a courtroom — should it reach that point. “It's never going to hold up in court,” he said. "This thing is a sure loser and it's going to blow up in the face of prosecutors, just like all the other weaponized prosecutions.”“But Trump got what he wanted,” he noted. “He got a prosecution of his enemy. And there's an old saying, you can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride.” - YouTube youtu.be

Trump pick face-plants in first major address: 'Exactly what you don’t want'

President Donald Trump's handpicked chair of the Fed is off to a rough start after a major economic face-plant on Wednesday, according to a new report.Kevin Warsh's second news conference as Federal Reserve chairman was met with dismay as he lectured reporters about the Fed's commitment to fighting inflation and financial markets immediately called his bluff, the New York Times reported Thursday."We are going to be judged by how we perform," said Warsh. He attempted to frame the central bank's role in performative terms as he announced Fed held rates would be held steady at between 3.5 to 3.75 percent, the Times reported.That's when the $28 trillion U.S. government bond market delivered a swift and humiliating verdict."Long-term government borrowing costs shot higher as Mr. Warsh spoke, with the 30-year bond notching its largest one-day increase in more than a year," the Times reported. "Trading around 5.22 percent, it is at the highest level since 2007," the report noted. "The 10-year Treasury yield, which serves as the benchmark for borrowing costs around the world, also rose alongside expectations about inflation over a longer time horizon."Lael Brainard, who served as Fed vice chair before joining the Biden administration argued Warsh had made a simple mistake. "The markets initially interpreted the price stability tough talk as someone who was willing to take the necessary action to address inflation and then was surprised that there wasn't follow through," she said. Mark Cabana, an interest rate strategist at Bank of America, elaborated on that and offered a more brutal assessment to the Times. "As a central banker, this is exactly what you don't want," he said. "You don't want the market questioning your inflation credibility."
