It's an important question. So why don't people answer it accurately?

* Impeachment proceedings are “possibly coming”: It’s got a little less oomph than the Game of Thrones tagline that the president is a fan of commandeering, but House Democrats are working on it in the wake of the Mueller report’s findings. [NBC News] * Per Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, there’s “nothing wrong with taking information from Russians.” And besides which, “Who says it’s even illegal?” But would he have done the same when he was running for president? “I probably wouldn’t. I wasn’t asked.” Good to know. Thanks for clarifying, Mr. Mayor. [Washington Post] * “Why in the world would you want to put your enemy on the payroll?” Donald Trump is so pissed off at “real lawyer” and former White House counsel Don McGahn that Jones Day will be kicked off campaign work that could have been worth millions. [POLITICO] * According to the latest data from the American Bar Association, the bar pass rate for first-time exam takers in 2018 was 74.82 percent, down from 77.34 percent in 2017. Hopefully things will get better in 2019. [ABA Journal] * Less is now more when it comes to Supreme Court briefs. Thanks to a new rules change, appellate advocates will only have 13,000 words to work with, down from 15,000. [National Law Journal]

* What's the future of Elizabeth Prelogar, the beauty queen turned Harvard Law School grad turned Supreme Court clerk turned Team Mueller member? Not clear, except that it's blindingly bright. [Ozy] * How often do you see this? A federal judge praises counsel -- specifically, J. Christian Adams of the Election Law Center, Douglas R. Cox of Gibson Dunn, Michael E. Rosman of the Center for Individual Rights, and local counsel Mun Su Park -- for their "conscientious billing practices." [Volokh Conspiracy / Reason] * Another Lawyerly Lair of Jonathan Schiller, of Boies Schiller Flexner fame: a stunning modern retreat on Martha's Vineyard, designed by his son, architect Aaron Schiller (whose firm also did the new BSF offices in Hudson Yards). [Martha's Vineyard] * Amicus brief of the month: a compelling -- and, sadly, entertaining (see the Appendix) -- analysis of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's utterly incoherent approach to supposedly "immoral or scandalous" trademarks, filed by William Jay and Goodwin Procter on behalf of law professors Barton Beebe and Jeanne Fromer. [Supreme Court of the United States] * Here's a clear and concise explanation of the "Rule of 80," taking "senior status" as a federal judge, and what this all means for the ideological balance of the judiciary, courtesy of Ed Whelan. [Bench Memos / National Review] * How should we think about President Donald Trump's branding of the press as "the enemy of the people"? Negatively, to be sure -- but let's also keep in mind that the media is not a monolith, as First Amendment lawyer Charles Glasser helpfully reminds us. [Daily Caller] * Stephen Cooper survived a stabbing -- then went on to defend violent criminals for many years as a federal public defender. [Alabama Political Reporter] * Cooper argues that we need to be less punitive and more thoughtful in our treatment of offenders -- and Joel Cohen seems to agree, defending an unusual but wise sentence recently handed down by Judge Valerie Caproni (S.D.N.Y.).

The Dems are delaying because they don't actually want to deal with Impeachment.

Trump's not a fan of notes.

If you're looking to go public without much fanfare, it's never a bad idea to start trading on a day on which everyone is reading about the president telling aides ‘I'm f@cked.’
