Some fireworks in court this morning as a judge criticized the lawyer representing Concord Management & Consulting in the special counsel Russian troll farm case for his language and harsh words about Mueller's office in filings — "unprofessional, inappropriate, and ineffective"
The judge told attorney Eric Dubelier that his strategy was "ineffective" and that his approach to filings — including pop culture quotes (see: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5676…) and accusing Mueller's office basically of lawlessness — was "undermining your credibility in this courthouse"
"Knock it off," Judge Dabney Friedrich told Dubelier. This then led to a heated exchange where Dubelier said he needed to consult his client since the judge had accused of unprofessional conduct, and now there might be bias from the judge. There's no bias, the judge replied.

New: This morning the DC Circuit vacated an injunction that had blocked the Trump admin's ban on transgender military service — this doesn't change the status quo, since injunctions issued by other courts still stand, but it's still noteworthy assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5674…
This is the first win for the administration in litigation over the transgender military service policy — judges in DC, WA, and CA issued injunctions. The cases went up on appeal, but DOJ then petitioned SCOTUS before the circuits ruled, which was unusual: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
SCOTUS hasn't weighed in yet, and now in the meantime the DC Circuit has issued a ruling. It's a per curiam judgment, and not "published," which means it's not precedent for the circuit and no one judge on the panel is the named author, it's just on behalf of the court

Remember how Jerome Corsi filed a civil lawsuit against Robert Mueller, claiming various violations of his rights? A judge today denied Corsi's bid to have the case assigned to the same judge who ruled against the NSA bulk surveillance program a few years ago, Judge Richard Leon
Corsi is represented by Larry Klayman, who argued the NSA case before Leon. Normally cases are randomly assigned, unless they're related to another case. Klayman today argued the cases were related, since Corsi claims he's been illegally surveiled by the special counsel's office
But "related" has specific meanings under the court rules. For cases that have been dismissed at the district court level, as Klayman's NSA cases were (he's on appeal), Corsi's case would need to involve the same parties and subject to be "related"

NEW: Special Counsel Robert Mueller has issued two subpoenas to a "social media and Twitter specialist" who worked for Roger Stone during the 2016 presidential election campaign. 🎯

reut.rs/2k39zhW
The subpoenas suggest that Mueller is focusing in part on Stone and whether he had advance knowledge of material hacked by Russian intelligence and/or if he knew about WikiLeaks' plan to publish the material. .
This is the part I've been waiting for: Mueller also has reportedly been looking at whether anyone associated w/ the Trump campaign helped Assange or the Russians time or target the release of hacked emails and other social media promoting Trump or attacking HRC, per @Reuters.

New signs Mueller is about to flip another in Russia probe: Rick Gates quietly added prominent white-collar attorney Tom Green [from Watergate] to his defense team. Green met with Mueller team twice last week, which suggests ongoing negotiations.
#Maddow cnn.it/2GbDsXe
Rick Gates is no coffee boy. After his boss Manafort left the campaign, "Gates remained entrenched in Trump operation"– on the transition, the inaugural & running Trump's super PAC.
Oh, and his RU oligarch/mafia pal Deripaska is is suing him again.
#Maddow
Here's the thing: Trump hated Rick Gates; threatened to fire him MANY times – even after Gates took the fall for Melania's plagiarized speech. Trump aides talked about Gates like a dog, referring to him as Trump's whipping boy.
Think he'll flip? 😆

NEW: Special counsel Robert Mueller subpoenaed Deutsche Bank records on accounts held by Trump and his family!

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The subpoena for Deutsche Bank records related to Trump's accounts is a potentially huge development. Why?

For one thing, Deutsche Bank loaned tens of millions of dollars to Trump at a time when no other bank would touch him. And we don't know why.

/1/

Deutsche Bank is Trump's top lender. By a huge margin.

-He owes more than $714 million in loans to at least 8 banks.
-More than half of that ($364 million) is from Deutsche Bank.
