SEASON 2 EPISODE 99: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Trump Attorney’s genuinely shocking admission: Trump MIGHT be guilty of insurrection.

Christina Bobb, last night: “It should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president – whether they’re guilty of insurrection or not.”

It’s a new defense. It’s an original defense. It’s the “HE’S GUILTY” defense. It’s also the clearest indication yet that Trump and his cult don’t give a damn about the laws or the constitution AND it’s an admission that the OTHER Trump lawyers KNOW they are just stalling for time or working to enable him to get away with anything.

It’s also another direct quote that Joe Biden HAS to turn into a campaign commercial immediately. Because whether she meant it as a confession or not, that’s EXACTLY what it sounds like: A confession, compounded by a bonus dose of screw-you, America: Trump is guilty, and he doesn’t give a crap, and he's counting on America not to give a crap, either

It would not surprise me in the least to SEE that Biden ad. And soon. CNN is reporting that the worm is about to turn and “as some of the younger aides on Biden’s reelection campaign have been grimly joking, it’s about WHEN to go ‘full Hitler’ – when the leading Republican candidate’s speeches and actions go so far that the Biden team goes all the way to a direct comparison to the Nazi leader rather than couching their attacks by saying Trump quote ‘parroted’ him.”

Plus the unexpected report that Trump is afraid the Supreme Court justices he appointed will rule against him on Disqualification, just to prove they aren't in his pocket. Just because he appointed six people to lifetime jobs, in which they are beholden to nobody? Not even him? Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you.

B-Block (20:08) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The OTHER thing Ted Cruz is bad at: The Ted Cruz Texas Sports Curse. Vivek Ramaswamy didn't want to be on your smelly CNN Republican debate anyway! And Jason Whitlock really believes ESPN has somebody putting porn ads on websites he visits. It couldn't possibly be the result of algorithms registering all the porn sites he went to.

C-Block (33:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Jack Kerouac had his own fantasy baseball league, and when I was a kid my Dad asked me to lie to the sports know-it-all at the office and convince him of the existence of a non-existent pitcher from the 1939 Yankees.
