It's Not Like he Brandished a Gun on a Motorist This Time

• [REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED]
Investigator Kris Cappel still hasn't been given documents she's requested in the Straub investigation, as many as 7,000 emails, since the city is busy redacting stuff considered classified under attorney-client privilege. But Breean Beggs has an idea. It's not like Cappel hasn't faced these issues before. In a case in Lynwood, Washington, a memo was protected by attorney-client privilege, but the mayor was kind enough to waive it. But that was Lynwood, and this is Spokane. (Spokesman-Review)

Rubio's Vow 
• So there's this Bible story in the book of Judges, where a dude named Jephthah promises God that, if He allows him to win a battle, Jephthah would sacrifice whatever comes from the doors of his house to greet him when he gets home. He wins the battle, but whoops, instead of like a cow or camel or something coming to meet him, his daughter runs out. 

So he sacrifices her, because a promise is a promise. 

So basically that, but with Rubio instead of Jephthah, "supporting the nominee" instead of human sacrifice, and Donald Trump instead of his daughter.  (CNN)
