Or: Just another case of see-something-say-something.

Its prosecutor talked this way:

In May, State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez asked to be recused from Van Dyke’s case and requested that [Judge] Gaughan assign a special prosecutor “to obtain justice for Laquan McDonald and to ensure continuity in the handling of this important and complicated case.”

As if justice = revenge.

This is standard, yes. Justice for somebody. But justice is or isn’t. You achieve it or you don’t. It’s not for somebody.

Makes you wonder when people talk that way, as if Laquan McDonald lies waiting for vindication. Or as I say, revenge.

What a concidence!

Investors in some of the nation’s most heavily subsidized green energy companies are among the top campaign fundraisers for Hillary Clinton, who has pledged to step up government support for wind, solar, and other renewable energy companies.

Clinton’s green energy investor bundlers have been deeply involved in prior efforts at the state and federal levels to secure taxpayer funds for such companies. A Clinton presidency would virtually guarantee additional subsidies and government incentives.

“I met yesterday in Chicago with a big group of clean renewable energy businesses and they’re just ready to go,” she said at an Iowa campaign stop in November. “But they need some help from the government.”

The people who object most strenuously to this are Bernie supporters, of course.

The money-counts part, that is, not the green part. Lot of major plutocrats in the mix, thanking whatever powers there be for Citizens United.

WaPo’s Cilizza disses Sanders as condescending, self-centered.

Come on. He’s a candidate who got where he is with a message implicitly about himself. Now he’s supposed to be Mr. Humility?

It’s what they call a correction, I think.

From CNN:

House Republicans’ report on the attack in Benghazi paints a picture of a perfect storm of bureaucratic inertia, rapidly worsening security in Libya and inadequate resources in the months that led up to the killings of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three colleagues on September 11, 2012.

CNN has obtained a portion of the report and the full version is expected to be released today.

Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the attack, told the House Benghazi Committee last year that she was aware of the dangers in Libya but “there was no actionable intelligence” indicating a planned attack.

The portion of the report obtained by CNN doesn’t offer a scathing indictment of Clinton. But it does argue that intelligence was available suggesting an attack was possible, and Clinton and a top aide, Patrick Kennedy, should have realized the risks posed to the Benghazi mission by extremist groups.

Who knows? Some of this may stick to the what-difference-does-it-make? lady.

Two ‘graphs have it:

“It is not clear what additional intelligence would have satisfied either Kennedy or the Secretary in understanding the Benghazi mission compound was at risk — short of an attack,” the report says.

Conservative members of the panel released a more political analysis of the attack Tuesday that’s far more critical of Clinton and the Obama administration. That study, authored by GOP Reps. Mike Pompeo of Kansas and Jim Jordan of Ohio, blames the attack on a “tragic failure of leadership.”

That’s Rahm Emanuel, mayor of our fair city, and Mellody Hobson, a Chicagoan who thinks she has him in her hip pocket, talking to the heavy-lidded Charlie Rose.

She did, but where did she get the idea that all it took was his nod to get the museum?

Conservative columnist George Will says he is leaving the Republican Party because of Donald Trump.

Congratulations, George! Just close the door, OK?

From the campus left to Black Lives Matter to Occupy Wall Street to the union activists who took over the Wisconsin legislature in 2011, modern progressives are committed to protest politics: They’ll achieve their demands not democratically but by disrupting civic order and breaking norms and laws. Now these tactics have been imported to the U.S. Congress.
