Countdown With Keith Olberman, Episode 162: Breaking: Smith Building Conspiracy Charge Trump [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-03-26 A brief note before I start: The past couple of weeks have been very busy for me, and I’m currently swamped. This was made worse because of a medical condition (don’t worry … it doesn’t seem like a factor any more), so today’s diary/story/post will be shorter than usual and look different. You can listen to Keith Olbermann at iHeart Radio, OnMy.FM, ivoox, among other places. A-Block Special Counsel Jack Smith is reportedly constructing a conspiracy charge — Conspiracy To Obstruct A Congressional Proceeding — against Trump. CBS News reported this once, buried it, doesn’t seem to realize what it has. If the charge hangs off the statute 18 US Code 1512 (c) (2) it carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, and Robert Costa reported Smith is “looking into a possible conspiracy case against Trump and people around him trying to block the Congressional proceedings on January 6th” and says witnesses “are being asked about what kind of NATIONAL SECURITY LEVERS Trump was asking about in those final days”. And Smith’s other primary investigation — the Classified Documents Trump stole and were found at Mar-a-Lago — are still very much in play. Meanwhile back at the ranch: Trump has now made all three possible statements about his possible indictment in the Stormy Daniels case: A) He’s Being Arrested B) The Case Has Been Dismissed C) He Really Doesn’t Have Any Idea. And Stormy Daniels herself breaks a MAGA critic in half. The MAGA-splainer tweets Trump wouldn’t touch Daniels with a 10-foot pole; she slams back: no, he did it with a 3-inch pole. Which circles back neatly to the idea that Trump could go to jail with his national defense lever in his hand. B-Block POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Israel falls apart and 16% of the nation protests fascist changes there; pay attention, we may have to protest this way here. And Elon Musk has only lost $24,000,000,000 on Twitter in five months but he can make it up if everybody buys a $7 checkmark. EVERYBODY. THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Marsha Blackburn attacks Democrats for trying to “ban” everything. She’s tried to ban at least 7 things in the last two years; The John Fetterman’s Been Replaced By A Body Double conspirators get a tremendous disappointment as Facts ruin their fun. And this is 57-dimensional chess: You know what the Russian Sputnik Covid vaccine was for? To put chips in Russians so they can be targeted by … American missiles? Huh? C-Block EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I can tell you from my own experience — four different times — that there’s nothing fake about receiving "”ake anthrax” in the mail, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg did Friday after Trump’s threat of “death and destruction”. That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
