Chelsea Manning was taken into custody today after refusing to comply with a grand jury subpoena to testify about WikiLeaks buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Although the subpoena didn't specify what prosecutors wanted to ask her about, her team said today that Manning "refused to answer questions from prosecutors regarding the release of information she disclosed to the public in 2010" buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Manning was ordered to stay in custody until she complies with the subpoena (formally known as "purging" one's self of contempt) or the grand jury finishes its work buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Much of the proceedings re: Chelsea Manning's subpoena have been sealed, but the judge opened the courtroom to announce the decision, reports @rachelweinerwp

A federal judge in Virginia has dismissed the latest lawsuit seeking to hold the Trump campaign liable for the DNC hack. The judge left open the Q of whether the release of emails is protected by the 1A, but found other legal deficiencies with the claims assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5771…
Re: the claim of a conspiracy to interfere with civil rights, the judge said that claim requires state action, and action by a campaign is not state action
Re: the state law claims, the judge found that there was no cause of action in Virginia for disclosing private info, and the infliction of emotion distress claim fell short of the standard for that claim given the alleged facts

Here is Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a former staffer who claims she was fired b/c she planned to take legal action against the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation over an alleged rape years ago by a then-CBCF staffer assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5771…
Here's our original story on the lawsuit against Lee and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Lee is arguing the woman didn't engage in "protected activity" under the Congressional Accountability Act, and that there's no direct allegation in the complaint that Lee or her office knew about the alleged rape or what exactly the woman planned to do

Justice Kavanaugh news: The 10th Circuit Judicial Council today denied petitions to review the earlier decision to dismiss the 83 ethics complaints filed against Kavanaugh (see: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…) uscourts.gov/courts/ca10/10…
There's an interesting dissent from Judge Briscoe, who argued that the 10th Circuit Judicial Council shouldn't have handled the petitions for review because it was the council that did the first round of review, as opposed to the chief judge, which is the normal process
Now, the people who filed these ethics complaints against Kavanaugh can asked the Judicial Conference's Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability, which is comprised of judges from across the country, to review the 10th Circuit's decision

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

For those tracking Mueller's case against Concord Management & Consulting: Concord is trying to intervene in Andrew Miller's appeal to the D.C. Circuit challenging the constitutionality of Mueller's appointment and the legality of Rosenstein's appointment order.
Miller, BTW, is a longtime aide to Trump confidant Roger Stone, and was held in contempt after refusing to comply with a grand jury subpoena. Miller, too is challenging Mueller's authority vis-a-vis his grand jury subpoenas on the same basis that Concord challenged its indictment
Concord says it has a stake in Miller's appeal since a D.C. Circuit ruling in his favor would likely do more than invalidate the contempt order: it could also weigh in on whether Mueller's appointment violated the appointments clause of the Constitution. This = precedent.

THREAD: Remember the claims by @realDonaldTrump & cronies that he'd sit for an interview w/Mueller⁉️

Trump LIED.🙄

Trump’s lawyers have **for months** tried to prevent Mueller from trying to force Trump to answer questions = #subpoena‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/06/02/us/…
In a letter to Mueller, Trump's lawyers claim that Trump "cannot be compelled" to testify.🙄

WRONG! Mueller can #subpoena Trump to FORCE him to testify **in front of the grand jury**.😎

Trump's lawyers CAN be w/him for an interview, but NOT for grand jury testimony.😉 2/
Trump's lawyers also claim Trump "could not possibly have committed obstruction b/c he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations."🤨

Yeah, just ask Nixon about that‼️3/
