This piece @thehill is nice and all that, but...thehill.com/opinion/judici…
why the heck didn't Mueller investigate the "elephant that’s not just in the room but sitting uncomfortably in their laps. Christopher Steele’s dossier is clearly a Russian intelligence operation." (Or conclude it wasn't!) 2/ thefederalist.com/2019/05/06/maj…
3/3 AND we KNOW a lot more than what is mentioned in the Hill article about what Barr is looking into: thefederalist.com/2019/05/17/kno…

🚨For those asking for less lawyer-talk & more lawsplaining: Trump won YUGE victory today when appellate court held he can (for now) fire members of National Labor Relations Board (considers union issues) & Merit Systems Protections Board (considers fed employee issues) 1/
2/ The decision rests on Article II authority of the Executive and half-dozen Supreme Court cases discussing when President can fire officials like Board members versus when Congress can limit that authority. Opinion contains tedious legal analysis of precedent but Trump wins.
3/ This is only temporary because it is official a "stay" of the lower court opinion ordering (injunction) reinstatement of Harris and Wilcox to NLRB and Merit Systems Protection Board. BUT more complete victory will be soon because appellate court is "expediting" (speeding up)

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump asks SCOTUS to intervene in Alien Enemies Act case & Justice Roberts requests response. Image
2/ The brief is excellent and includes extensive analysis, but the bottom line is simple: Judge Boesberg LACKED jurisdiction. That's all that matters & Judge Henderson ignored that flaw. Image
Image
3/ As I explained soon after the D.C. Circuit issued its decision denying a stay of the injunction barring Trump Administration from removing tDa members, that was Henderson's fatal flaw in her reasoning.

🚨Yesterday I posted the below thread about the First Circuit (appellate court) that allowed a lower court to tell Trump he had to keep paying grants and couldn't freeze them or cancel them. I suggested the injunction really had no "bite" because it was limited to blanket decisions. 1/
2/ Well a little bit ago the Trump Administration filed a brief in the lower court. The plaintiffs had claimed Trump was violating the injunctions because FEMA wasn't paying grants. Not so, Trump countered: They are reviewing and paying the grants, not freezing them. Image
Image
3/ In fact, Trump Administration cites First Circuit's decision to argue it complied with the injunction because it a) wasn't a freeze; b) its action in reviewing the requires for payment under FEMA grants was NOT based on Trump's OMB directive but agencies own authority. Image

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Hearing in lawsuit against Trump Administration re preservation of Signal conversations about to start. 1/
2/ Here's link to docket. courtlistener.com/docket/6978883…
3/ Judge: Notes some questions raised about this judge being given this case by random assignment. He then details how random assignment happens. Basically he's just saying I was randomly assigned this case.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: D.C. Court of Appeals tells Dellinger okay, you want to play that game, fine, we'll dismiss the lower court WITH prejudice, but NOT our opinions. 1/ Image
Image
2/ While I believe the better approach would have been for Court of Appeals to say there are rules on how to dismiss a case and asking Court of Appeals to do so isn't it, end result was same because Court of Appeals didn't vacate appellate decisions which was Dellinger's ploy.
3/ Instead it dismissed case WITH prejudice meaning Dellinger can't try to refile AND it vacated injunction entered below which was still in place but stayed AND it left binding precedent of Court of Appeals in tact. So, really a WIN for Trump, or rather a BIG L for Dellinger.

🚨🚨🚨Another loss for Trump this one in First Circuit with court denying stay of lower court order. Details of underlying case and order below. This one Trump should appeal. 1/ Image
2/ One Obama and two Biden appointees. Full opinion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ A few thoughts: This language from Court of Appeals suggests the injunction has no "bite" because Trump can terminate grants for reasons other than prohibited OMB. Image
