The designer for this film was John Truscott, and he won an Academy Award for his work.

One Dress a Day Challenge

The Men of September

Camelot / David Hemmings as Mordred

I must thank @northernmariette for reminding me about this costume, as I can't remember when I last saw this movie! Mordred makes his first appearance wearing this spectacular leather suit. If it were shoes, I'd call the color oxblood.

The design is sort of vaguely medieval/renaissance-ish rather than trying to reflect any particular time period. But that's appropriate for a story set in the Arthurian world, since the time period there is equally vague.

Trump's spiral staircase: down, down, down he goes, where he stops, nobody knows

LUCIAN K. TRUSCOTT IV

JUN 20, 2023

Who knew that the name of a two-bit spray-tanned Fox News hack would be destined to be mentioned alongside the David Frost interview of Richard Nixon as a classic of the genre, but it appears that is where yesterday’s Bret Baier “Special Report” interview with Donald Trump is headed.  Well known celebrity interviewer Frost asked Nixon whether the president could do something illegal, such as taking action against certain anti-war groups “if he decides it’s in the best interest of the country or something,” to which Nixon infamously responded, “Well, when the president does it, that means it’s not illegal.”  Forty-five million television viewers watched that night, a record for the largest audience for a political interview in history.

A much, much smaller audience was watching Fox last night when Trump claimed, for what must have been at least the thousandth time, “First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot, okay?  Let’s get that straight.”  Baier, holding a sheaf of paper that appeared to have lists not only of questions, but of facts, pushed back by reciting a long list of evidence to the contrary: “There were recounts in all the swing states.  There was not significant evidence of fraud,” to which Trump replied, “We were trying to get recounts, real recounts, not just numbers of votes cast.” 

Baier forged ahead: “There were lawsuits, more than 50 of them, in front of judges you appointed, that came up with no evidence, no evidence, and they looked at every potential case of voter fraud in six battleground states, and they found fewer than 475 cases.”  Trump, babbling over Baier the whole time: “You know why?  They weren’t looking at the right things.  They were counting ballots, not the authenticity of ballots.  The ballots were fake ballots.  This was a very rigged election.” 

But it was when Baier got into the meat of last week’s indictment of Trump for improperly removing and then mishandling top secret government documents, that the interview really went off the rails for Trump.  Baier asked him when he was subpoenaed by the Department of Justice for the documents he held at Mar a Lago, “Why not just hand them over then?” 

I wish you could hear Trump’s tone, which resembled nothing more or less than the voice of a little boy who had been caught with a rock in his hand standing on the lawn of a house with a broken window: “Because I had boxes! I wanted to go through the boxes, and get all my personal things out…(sputters)…I don’t want to hand that over to NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) yet, and I was very busy, as you have sort have seen.”  A B-roll of the indictment appears on the screen as Baier tirelessly presses on: “But according to the indictment, you then tell this aide to move [boxes] to other locations, after telling your lawyers to say that you had fully complied with the subpoena when you hadn’t.”  Trump looks frantic: “Before I send boxes over, I have to take all of my things out.  These boxes were interspersed with all sorts of things…uh…golf shirts, clothing, pants, shoes…there were many things…” 

Baier manages to intersperse a short question, “Iran war plans?” Here's Trump’s face as he hears the question: “Not that I know of!  Not that I know of!”

Baier then turns to the Iran war plan document referred to in the indictment in the transcript of a recording of an interview with ghost writers for Trump’s final chief of staff, Mark Meadows, made at Trump’s Bedminster golf club in 2021.  “The Iran attack plan. You remember that.  You were recorded.”  Baier continues, reading from his typed notes: “The indictment says, the recording and the testimony from people in the room say you showed it to people in the room there, that day.  You say on tape, that you can’t declassify it, so why have it?”

“There was no document,” Trump asserts. “That was a massive amount of papers and everything else talking about Iran and other things. And it may have been held up or may not, but that was not a document. I didn’t have a document per se. There was nothing to declassify. These were newspaper stories, magazine stories, and articles.”

“I’m just saying what the indictment says, there were people in the room, who testified…”

“These people are very dishonest people.  They’re thugs.  They’re thugs.  If you look at what they’ve done to other people…”

Tobias Barrington Wolff, the Jefferson Barnes Fordham Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, Carey School of Law, posted on his Facebook page a primer in the law, describing exactly what happened in Trump’s interview with Baier.  Helpfully referring to Trump as “the grifter,” Wolff explained:  “The only way the grifter's own spoken words could be forcibly used against him at trial is if he chose to do exactly what he is now doing: talk obsessively about the charges against him on camera at rallies and in interviews, hoping that his weaponized narcissistic bluster would once again allow him to escape accountability. Your Fifth Amendment right protects you against being ‘compelled’ to incriminate yourself; it poses no barrier if you want to bull your way in front of a camera and insist on doing so. And one of the main exceptions to the hearsay rule is a statement made by the party himself, which is helpfully referred to as an ‘admission’. The category of admissions is a broad exception to the hearsay rule. It means that other witnesses, like his former lawyers or Walt Nauta, could testify at trial to the things the grifter said to them while executing the conspiracy to obstruct justice. And it means recordings of the grifter's own out-of-court statements can be used to establish the elements of his offenses. It is just that, in a normal criminal trial, the prosecution does not have video of the defendant's own incriminating statements. But the grifter is helpfully providing those video admissions with every campaign speech and every interview he gives to a right-wing news outlet.”

The Florida magistrate in the case against Trump issued an order earlier on the same day of Trump’s interview with Baier forbidding him from disclosing “the Discovery Materials or their contents directly or indirectly to any person or entity other than persons employed to assist in the defense, persons who are interviewed as potential witnesses, counsel for potential witnesses, and other persons to whom the Court may authorize disclosure.”  The magistrate went on to warn that disclosure of discovery material “may result in contempt of court or other civil or criminal sanctions.”

It is unknown at the time of this writing if any of Trump’s interview, particularly the part involving the Iran attack plans, amounted to disclosure of “discovery materials.”  It is known, however, that pretty much the entire interview, from beginning to end, may one day end up as evidence in trials of Donald Trump in the classified documents case as well as any potential case the Special Counsel files against him for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

REVIEW

The Path of Progress by Colin Conway

A 509 Crime Story

Police procedural set in the 509 area code – Spokane specifically – that was well crafted and fit together piece by piece reminding me of some tricky puzzles I worked on recently.

What I liked:

* Leya Navarro: Property Crimes detective for six months, happily married with two little girls, dedicated, intelligent, doesn’t really want a male partner to “help” find the burglar(s)

* Damien Truscott: detective that was in SVU for two years and moved back to Property Crimes, much gossip about why he moved, happily married with teenage sons, movie buff, a nice balance to Leya

* Andrew Parker: homicide detective, happily married, father of three little girls, body builder, enjoys being a detective but not the hours away from his family

* The police procedural aspect of the story that started with burglaries, moved to the homeless as targets for crime in the area, then on to a murder, and the way all of the pieces found by the detectives came together to solve more than one case on the books

* The glimpse at politics in the workplace and beyond to city and state

* The way family was important to the main characters as were their personal beliefs and back stories – we are all products of what has come before in our lives

* That I felt invested in the story and the characters and wanted to see how it would end

* That there were no real loose ends EXCEPT wondering why Damien Truscott chose to leave the SVU and go back to Property Crimes…maybe that will come out in a future book in the series along with whether or not Andrew Parker will find a way to move on to something he might enjoy more

What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* Thinking about the homeless and if there is a solution that might work…

* Having to leave the various characters and not knowing what their futures hold in store for them

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to the author for the ARC – this is my honest review.

4-5 Stars

BLURB

An illegal homeless camp, an unscrupulous criminal element, and a furious neighborhood— a recipe for tragedy. Camp Faith squats in the path of the new freeway. The sprawling, makeshift encampment is unsightly and unsanitary, but its occupants have nowhere else to go. These are society’s castoffs, made up of the homeless, the addicted, and the mentally unstable. Outreach groups are eager to help, but the local community wants the interlopers removed. Anger runs high on both sides of the issue, and the political pressure for a resolution is enormous. The sheriff and the governor join the partisan fray as the camp becomes a pawn in a larger game. Now, a rash of nearby burglaries threatens to turn up the heat to unseen levels. Detectives with the Spokane Police Department must quickly find the culprits before tempers boil over. When a prominent local business owner is murdered, can the cops keep a lid on everything? Or will the neighborhood explode in chaos? The Path of Progress is the thirteenth book in the 509 Crime Stories, a series of novels set in Eastern Washington with revolving lead characters.
