That&#8217;s reeeeeally unlikely when you remember that Trump had already returned two tranches of classified material earlier this year and the DOJ had bent over backward in negotiating with him to try to avoid the optics of showing up to his home. But at least it addressed the core legal problems Trump faces right now. If the FBI planted the docs then Trump isn&#8217;t guilty of unlawfully possessing them and he isn&#8217;t guilty of obstructing justice by concealing them after the feds first asked for them back.]]>Thu, 01 Sep 2022 14:01:12 -0400<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]><![CDATA[classified]]><![CDATA[declassified]]><![CDATA[documents]]><![CDATA[DOJ]]><![CDATA[FBI]]><![CDATA[Justice Department]]><![CDATA[lawyers]]><![CDATA[Mar-a-Lago]]><![CDATA[search]]><![CDATA[Trump]]>https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2022/09/01/trump-now-basically-admitting-that-he-had-classified-material-when-the-fbi-showed-up-at-mar-a-lago-n493894<![CDATA[It seems fitting &#8212; and weird &#8212; that Sarah Palin is in the news on my next-to-last day at Hot Air.

McConnell&#8217;s Senate Leadership Fund group is spending big money in other swing states to elect figures like Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker. It&#8217;s also plowing money into Ohio, which is supposed to be safely red but feels competitive at the moment between Democrat Tim Ryan and Peter Thiel protege J.D.

Russia&#8217;s advantages in this war are its traditional advantages in any war, overwhelming firepower and sheer ruthlessness. But they have a terrible inflexible command structure, their tactics and weapons are outdated, they&#8217;ve struggled with logistics, they&#8217;ve lost a ton of men, and they&#8217;re coping with poor morale after what was supposed to be a three-day war has dragged on for six months and left them playing defense in the south.]]>Wed, 31 Aug 2022 20:41:00 -0400<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[counteroffensive]]><![CDATA[kherson]]><![CDATA[Pentagon]]><![CDATA[Russia]]><![CDATA[Ukraine]]>https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2022/08/31/pentagon-ukraines-and-russias-militaries-are-approaching-parity-with-each-other-n493706<![CDATA[Tonight&#8217;s the night we finally learn who won the special election to be Alaska&#8217;s new representative in the House that was held, uh &#8230; 15 days ago.]]>Wed, 31 Aug 2022 18:41:05 -0400<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]><![CDATA[Alaska]]><![CDATA[Democrats]]><![CDATA[House]]><![CDATA[Republicans]]><![CDATA[results]]><![CDATA[Sarah Palin]]><![CDATA[Special election]]><![CDATA[Voting]]>https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2022/08/31/live-results-the-return-of-sarah-from-alaska-n493630<![CDATA[I&#8217;d love to tell you that it is, as Democrats deserve a thorough beating for following through on it.

Dr. Oz&#8217;s favorability in numerous polls has been brutal and he&#8217;s too much of a squish to expect much by way of enthusiastic MAGA turnout. (Although getting to run on the same ballot as Doug Mastriano will help with that.) He&#8217;s also certainly going to be outspent before this race is done.]]>Wed, 31 Aug 2022 13:31:57 -0400<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]><![CDATA[debate]]><![CDATA[Democrat]]><![CDATA[GOP]]><![CDATA[Health]]><![CDATA[John Fetterman]]><![CDATA[mehmet oz]]><![CDATA[Pennsylvania]]><![CDATA[Republican]]><![CDATA[Senate]]><![CDATA[stroke]]>https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2022/08/31/john-fetterman-is-ducking-dr-oz-and-it-might-cost-him-n493599<![CDATA[It&#8217;s a &#8220;quick, everyone get your story straight&#8221; kind of morning.]]>Wed, 31 Aug 2022 11:31:44 -0400<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]><![CDATA[classified]]><![CDATA[documents]]><![CDATA[DOJ]]><![CDATA[Justice Department]]><![CDATA[Mar-a-Lago]]><![CDATA[search]]><![CDATA[Trump]]>https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2022/08/31/doj-filing-trump-and-his-lawyers-tried-to-hide-the-documents-we-wanted-back-n493556<![CDATA[Yeah, I don&#8217;t know.

In late July, that model had Republicans as slight favorites to regain the majority this fall. A month later, Democrats are now not-so-slight favorites to do so. Nate Silver gives them a two-to-one chance of remaining in power, which is a big deal even if the GOP flips the House.
