2/ Let me extend credit to @ronfein @JohnBonifaz & the great people at Free Speech for People @FSFP for our earlier work together in 2017 asking @NewYorkStateAG to investigate Emoluments.
Follow them!

My concerns about most of @manhattanDA's new charges as NY state double jeopardy violations. Vance should drop 12 of the 16 charges.
"New York’s charges against Paul Manafort could result in a damaging setback for civil liberties and the rule of law." slate.com/news-and-polit…
2/ @alegalnerd, an amazing law resource, cites a 1975 NY Court of Appeals case emphasizing the legislature's wording, that the 2 statutes had to address "_very_ different" harms.
This suggests overreach and error by @manhattanDA Vance.
cc: @DanielRAlonso
3/ Matter of Abraham (1975):
Drug distribution vs drug possession are more "different" than bank fraud vs residential mortgage fraud.
And yet the Court held that NY double jeopardy barred the 2d drug prosecution.
Must be "_very_ different." Not good for Cy Vance.
H/t @alegalnerd

CORRECTION THREAD: I think we have a NY double jeopardy problem re: Manafort.
Let me first note that I have just spent 2 hours on a train comparing today's new @manhattanda indictment to the old Mueller indictment.
Problem 1: Today's indictment is badly written and confusing...
2/ So here's the problem. In EDVA, Manafort was convicted of bank fraud in his application to Citizens Bank for a completed $3.4M loan on his 29 Howard St. property.
vox.com/2018/8/21/1769…
3/ Today's @manhattanda indictment is about Manafort defrauding two unnamed lenders, Lender 1 and Lender 2.
It seems clear now that Lender 1 in most of today's counts is Citizens Bank, and that alleged fraud is for the SAME LOAN in the federal conviction.

Just think I'll retweet this today... from November 3, 2017...
slate.com/news-and-polit…
And my piece from December 2017 on Flynn and state charges...
slate.com/news-and-polit…
And this was my note of appreciation to the lone hold-out #MAGA juror in the Manafort trial, who led to hung jury and unintentionally to more charges available now in NY state:

Donald Trump’s day so far:

- Misspells “amendment”
- Admits prices on popular American products may go up due to his failed trade war
- “Anomanous” op-ed author is still in the White House
- Brett Kavanaugh in trouble
- Trump Organization in trouble
- It’s still only 1pm
Feels like Brett Kavanaugh is going to prison palmerreport.com/analysis/priso…
Sorry, Donald, that’s not how any of this works palmerreport.com/analysis/sorry…

The worst members of the press are the people who write the grabby headlines for stories they don’t seem to have read
This is not a feature only of the outlets you don’t like. It’s a general criticism, of all media.
I know it’s an obvious and commonly made click-bait point. Just joining the chorus after seeing some headlines today.
