- (1:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Rules Package the new Speaker of the House/Hostage Kevin McCarthy will present today will include a subcommittee with which Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz insist they can investigate ANYTHING the Justice Department does, including active criminal investigations. What these toads don’t know is that they’re not the first half-baked fascists to try this, and something called The Linder Letter [PDF] will protect DOJ from testifying, supplying evidence, or prosecuting anybody for contempt of Congress for ignoring the Gaetz-McCarthy masturbatory star chamber. Trump can’t escape justice — not this way. Though The Holman Rule, which in theory could allow the House to zero out the salary of anybody in government, is a little more of challenge, there’s a way to work around that, too. So as you hear the Taliban 20 and their puppet McCarthy emit dire threats today, have a good laugh.

- (26:24) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Two happy anniversaries, within days of each other. How I helped to launch ESPN Radio, and then days later while traveling FOR the new network, happened to meet the lovely, delightful, gifted actress — the late Elizabeth Montgomery.
Oh, and remember the guy who threw that can of White Claw at Ted Cruz during the Astros parade? He’s not going to be prosecuted.
Well, that’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
