David French: Trump indictment will produce the trial America needs

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:11:03 GMT

At last. The federal criminal justice system is going to legal war against one of the most dishonest, malicious and damaging conspiracies in the history of the United States. Tuesday’s indictment of Donald Trump, brought by special counsel Jack Smith’s office, is the culmination of a comprehensive effort to bring justice to those who attempted to overthrow the results of an American presidential election.In the weeks after the 2020 election, the legal system was in a defensive crouch, repelling an onslaught of patently frivolous claims designed to reverse the election results. In the months and years since the violent insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, the legal system has switched from defense to offense. With all deliberate speed, prosecutors first brought charges against Trump’s foot soldiers, the men and women who breached the Capitol. Next, prosecutors pursued the organizers of Trumpist right-wing militias, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who had engaged in a seditious conspiracy t...

Broncos center Lloyd Cushenberry’s mindset in last year of rookie contract? It’s taken from his own experience at LSU: “If the winning comes, individual stuff will come”

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:11:03 GMT

Super Bowl week was an excuse for sixth-grade Lloyd Cushenberry to wear his own jersey during his offseason. It wasn’t a coincidence that his little league football team in Carville, Louisiana, wore black and gold.Cushenberry had relatives in New Orleans. Others in Baton Rouge. The Saints were beloved in every town between them along Interstate 10, including Cushenberry’s. He celebrated in Carville after the Saints won it all in 2010. Sean Payton’s Saints.“Mardi Gras was a pretty fun time after that,” Cushenberry said, laughing.Thirteen years later, the coach who brought a championship to Louisiana while Cushenberry was learning to love football is now Cushenberry’s coach in the NFL. On a hot (but not Louisiana-humid) Monday halfway across the country from Carville, Payton approached Cushenberry during Broncos training camp and asked what part of Louisiana the offensive lineman is from. Payton was familiar with the area.“I have so many memor...

Broncos kickers Brett Maher, Elliott Fry traveled different paths to arrive in Denver. Now, they are pinned in back-and-forth competition.

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:11:03 GMT

As the Broncos wrapped up practice Tuesday, one of the most up-for-grabs position battles of training camp was on display.Kickers Brett Maher and Elliott Fry were trading field goals, moving back at least five yards after each kick. When both players reached the 40-yard after converting four straight, Fry’s attempt sailed right, while Maher sent the ball straight down the middle.Maher won the day, but there are still many more to follow.“It’s a long competition,” said Fry, who signed with the team in May. “We’re only in Week 1, so I think we’re both just putting our heads down and trying to make kicks.”In the spring, Denver made a surprising-yet-understandable move when it released longtime kicker Brandon McManus to clear cap space. Denver’s search for his replacement, however, has been a bit of a gamble as Fry, who has six career field goal attempts to his name, and Maher, a solid veteran tainted by a nightmarish postseason, go head to head.Both players have...
