The entire period from the Ellen thing to the early 2000s to me is just weird.  I mean she was in her late 20s/early 30s so it's not like she was hitting the "midlife" roles where you can typecast as supporting characters, usually married ones. 

She was in a lot of successful movies + the psycho remake.  I'm not arguing she should have been given A list movie roles.  But  she got dumped into tv/dtv stuff pretty quickly for someone who was in the prime of her career.

Maybe the most logical explaination is the simplest:  her mental issues were a big hurdle.

Reading up on what he was actually charged/alleged with, I would sort of agree that it's probably not the more serious one of selling stuff to foreign government.  He got charged with chp 18, 793 which is gathering, losing, or transmitting defense information.  794 is the more serious one about aiding foreign governments and guys like Ames got charged with.

Also,  let's just put it this way, I could see him keeping the documents because he was felt he was entitled to them.

I was too young to appreciate Olivia Newton John as I was barely alive or old when Grease yet.  And when one of these people dies, a small part of you or your childhood dies as well.  At least they live on in our memories, or whatever songs or movies that they are in.

Complain all you want about some conspiracy or left wing bullshit you want.  The fact is that no other president has been hit with this Republican or Democrat, ever.

The Justice Department official who oversaw the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified records says there’s simply no comparing the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to the case against the former secretary of State.

“People sling these cases around to suit their political agenda but every case has to stand on its own circumstances,” said David Laufman, who led the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section until 2018 and is now a partner at the firm Wiggin and Dana.

Laufman has the credentials to judge the severity of these matters. In addition to the Clinton case, he managed the investigation of David Petraeus, the former general and CIA director who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for mishandling classified material. CNN reported that one of the DOJ officials involved in the Trump investigation is his immediate successor.

“For the department to pursue a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago tells me that the quantum and quality of the evidence they were reciting — in a search warrant and affidavit that an FBI agent swore to — was likely so pulverizing in its force as to eviscerate any notion that the search warrant and this investigation is politically motivated,” he said.

I do think they should reveal what the search warrant was for.

I kinda hate this aspect of modern politicizing of the investigate arm of the Justice Dept.  I think that is the right term.  And it's been going on for years.  There could be (and probably most of them are) a legitimate investigation of some wrongdoing and it's gets drowned out by "it's a witch hunt" or defund the FBI or whatever bullshit gets thrown it.

And it's wrong to me.  Because generally the FBI doesn't fuck around when it comes to stuff like it.
