Quicker Than Usual Hits

We've got another Fani Willis, this time in Utah.

She ruled against the Republicans' redistricting map -- giving the Democrats two unearned seats.

She was fucking the Democrat lawyer in the case. She kept it secret and never recused herself.

Utah's governor, Senate president and House speaker are launching an investigation into Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen and allegations that she had a relationship with an attorney arguing cases before the high court.

Those allegations are detailed in a complaint submitted late last year to both Chief Justice Matthew Durrant and the Judicial Conduct Commission.

The complaint, which was obtained exclusively by KSL through a public records request, came from a Provo-based attorney who said Hagen's ex-husband told him the justice had exchanged "inappropriate" text messages with David Reymann, one of the attorneys involved in a case about redistricting, which led to Utah getting a new congressional map.

Hagen strongly denies allegations of an inappropriate relationship of any kind. Reymann also called the allegations "false." He does outside legal work for KSL and as an attorney for the Utah Media Coalition, of which KSL is a member.

The Judicial Conduct Commission conducted a preliminary investigation into the complaint and interviewed Hagen's ex-husband but ultimately decided not to investigate further. Gov. Spencer Cox, Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz told KSL that's concerning.

"An initial review by the Judicial Conduct Commission and the court left important questions unresolved," they said in a joint statement Thursday. "Allegations of this nature, especially involving public officials, must be examined with transparency and accountability to establish the facts and to maintain public confidence."

They added, "We will move forward with an independent investigation to ensure the facts are fully examined. This process will be conducted objectively and thoroughly, because maintaining trust in our institutions is essential."

What the allegations say

The allegations originally come from Hagen's ex-husband, Tobin Hagen, who said he suspected the justice began having an inappropriate relationship with Reymann, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit over Utah's redistricting maps.

Tobin Hagen allegedly described the circumstances surrounding his divorce proceedings to another attorney, including allegations that Diana Hagen had exchanged text messages with Reymann, which Tobin Hagen said began as "silly" and then became "more suggestive."

The case, League of Women Voters of Utah v. Utah State Legislature, is arguably the highest-profile legal case to reach the Utah Supreme Court in years. The justices issued a unanimous ruling in July 2024 saying lawmakers overreached by changing Proposition 4, an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative.

Many Republican lawmakers reacted with outrage and promised to continue appealing the case, suggesting it was likely to return to the Supreme Court.

The plaintiffs who sued the Legislature filed an additional complaint in the same case later in 2024, challenging Amendment D -- an effort by lawmakers to give themselves power to overturn ballot initiatives. Hagen wrote the majority opinion upholding a lower court ruling invalidating the amendment which was finalized in October 2024.

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
SAS soldiers are resigning in significant numbers over fears they will be subjected to "witch hunts" by human-rights lawyers.

Multiple sources have claimed that personnel from across 22 SAS, the Army's most elite fighting force, have applied for premature voluntary release.

The Telegraph is withholding the exact figure for security reasons. However, several SAS sources have described the recent losses as "significant" and a "threat to national security".

At least two squadrons, D and G, are believed to have been affected, with insiders saying outrage over recent war crime probes into Afghanistan and Syria, which have been branded "witch hunts", are believed to be the main driving forces.

Among those understood to have resigned include several senior warrant officers, who are the backbone of the special forces and among the most experienced troops in the regiment. A number are understood to have applied for release "on principle" just before Christmas.

"Morale is s--t at the moment," one insider with knowledge of the recent losses told me, while another said there was "considerable disquiet" in the regiment as a result.

The SAS resignations are a major blow to the famed special forces unit, which is the tip of the spear in any military operation and is deployed globally.

Rep. Elise Stefanik just DOG WALKED Jake Tapper on his own show: "This is TYPICAL CNN!"

Tapper tried to claim Trump was calling for genocide against Iran -- Stefanik shut it down instantly.

TAPPER: "Is calling for wiping out an entire civilization bad or good?"

STEFANIK: "Of course it's bad! That is not what he is calling for. He wasn't calling for genocide."

TAPPER: "You're entire civilization will die?"

STEFANIK: "It was targeted toward the Iranian terrorist regime."

TAPPER: "Agree to disagree..."

STEFANIK: "This is typical CNN. This is TYPICAL CNN!"

"If you want to compare the president of the United States to the university presidents who failed to call for the condemnation of calling for the genocide of Jews, that's on you, Jake."

"The world saw how morally equivocating those university presidents were."

"If you want to make that comparison, that's on CNN."

TAPPER: "I'm just asking you if you have the same standard for somebody...?"

STEFANIK: "Of course, genocide is bad across the board, Jake."

"President Trump effectively brought the Iranians to the table."

"He effectively delivered a ceasefire."

"And he is going to effectively deliver peace to the Middle East to stop, frankly, the killing [from] the Iranian terrorist regime, which kills their own people and has created havoc across the Middle East."

Stefanik refused to let CNN twist Trump's words into a genocide narrative.

There was a massive DOJ study done decades ago that among people in Federal custody, the single trait career criminals had most in common was that they had all gotten caught as a teenager and the case resolved in a way that left them feeling like they 'got away with it.'

More in common than race, than marital status of parents, than bullying, than presence of a father. It was *the* issue.
