Prosecutor of Bill Cosby: Matt Gaetz ‘should be very worried’ about possible Greenberg plea deal

Former prosecutor Kristen Gibbons Feden is an expert in prosecuting sex crimes, most notably she was the one who helped get a conviction against Bill Cosby. So, when she told MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) "should be very worried," she would know.

According to Feden, if Gaetz pal Joel Greenberg "cooperates with prosecutors, if he gives statements consistent with" his letter "it will establish two for the prosecutors with the sex crimes against Gaetz. First, that he gave money in exchange for sex and second that sexual contact was with a minor. This wouldn't necessarily get the prosecutors over the finish line, right? Because they would still need to establish that this crime relates to interstate commerce which is a necessary precondition for federal involvement."

The View's Meghan McCain gets schooled by Sunny Hostin after blaming Democrats for conservative anti-vaxxers

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain blamed Democrats for what she called "bad messaging" around masks and the vaccine as the coronavirus pandemic enters its next phase.

According to McCain, saying that people still have to wear masks despite being vaccinated gives conservatives no incentive to get the vaccine to begin with. The goal of the coronavirus vaccine is to prevent people from dying or being hospitalized with severe cases of the virus. Presumably, that would be the incentive for being vaccinated — to avoid death. But that isn't enough of an incentive for some conservatives, McCain argued.

Lincoln Project has one more ad to troll Trump and his 'tiny hands' before he leaves Florida for the summer

Former President Donald Trump's Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, closes over the summer because they're unable to accommodate people in the heat and humidity. So, he's headed up to his other club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where the heat isn't as bad.

But before he leaves, The Lincoln Project is hitting him with one more ad for the area that will flood his airwaves. The ads first began in early April, when the group of former GOP consultants targeted Trump with a message about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) shoving him out of Republican influence. Trump, who has attacked McConnell since leaving office, is building the Republican Party without the influence of the former president.

John Oliver was shocked Rudy Giuliani didn't accidentally live stream his FBI raid by sitting on his phone

Rudy Giuliani was raided by the FBI this week in what has proved to be the latest example of (alleged) inept criminal behavior by one of former President Donald Trump's closest advisers.

Giuliani is the target of an investigation by the US attorney's office in Manhattan surrounding his dealings in Ukraine while trying to drum up scandals about former President Joe Biden and any role he played in the firing of Marie Yovanovitch, Trump's former ambassador to Ukraine. Ironically, the investigation wasn't started under the Merrick Garland Justice Department, it began while Bill Barr was the attorney general. There was an internal debate whether or not to serve a search warrant for Giuliani in the final weeks of the Trump presidency, the Associated Press reported Friday.
