CAN CALIFORNIA GET ANYTHING RIGHT? More California Bar Exam Chaos. “More than 200 people who took California’s disastrous February bar exam will go from failing to passing under a new round of grading changes approved on Friday, boosting the test’s overall pass rate from 56% to 63% — nearly double the state’s historical average of 35%.”

CURIOUS:

DEMOCRATS: What the Heck Is Up With the Degenerates in That Manhattan DA’s Office?

I suppose this could be your Friday rhetorical question, as we all know a fish rots from the head, and the head of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is none other than the rotten-to-the-core Alvin Bragg.

The same Alvin Bragg who prosecuted Donald Trump for falsifying business records. The same Alvin Bragg whose office unsuccessfully prosecuted subway hero Daniel Penny for manslaughter when he subdued a drug-crazed, psychotic vagrant threatening fellow passengers.

The same Alvin Bragg and his crew of progressive malcontents who have been declining to prosecute any of the rampaging terrorist supporters shrieking, chanting, vandalizing, and threatening Jewish students as they’ve swarmed their way over Columbia’s campus for the past year.

That guy.

So I guess it’s really no wonder that an ugly lawsuit has just been dropped accusing his office of helping one of their prosecutors ‘weaponize’ the power of their positions to have her estranged reporter husband hooked up on felony child abuse and assault charges. Not to mention, bringing the New York Police Department into it. . . .

Whatever gave these people the idea that they were so untouchable and powerful that they could get away with something like this?

It turns out the phone call from wife Goun asking ‘how can I get this guy’ to the fellow DA at Bragg’s office was recorded on the police bodycam video.

Abuse of power isn’t just a tool for them, abuse of power is their hobby.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

I MEAN, HE’S NOT WRONG:

WE’RE NOT ASHAMED OF WHAT WE DID, WE’RE JUST COVERING IT UP: Harvard Law Review Retaliates Against Alleged Leaker—And Demands He Press Free Beacon To Destroy Documents. “The Harvard Law Review retaliated against a student editor for allegedly leaking documents to the Washington Free Beacon and demanded, as part of the journal’s disciplinary process, that he request their destruction, according to emails obtained by the Free Beacon. The demand came as the law review was under a document retention order stemming from multiple federal probes, raising questions about whether the journal was also trying to interfere with a government investigation.”

I think Harvard genuinely believes that rules and consequences are for the little people.
