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…

In looking for another case, I came across two cases docketed today re immigration issues where filings aren't available: This one seeks release from INS Detection and this seeks an adjudication on a visa issue. 1/ Image
Image
2/ I'm interested in these cases because (other than the Alien Enemies Act) there is a very clear procedure for how to challenge immigration issues and it isn't in the district court. Rather, aliens must proceed through the administrative process, ALJ (Administrative Law Judge)
3/ Then to appeal before the BIA (Board of Immigration Appeal) and after that they can challenge to a federal circuit court. They cannot bring habeas or other challenges in a district court: Congress purposefully removed jurisdiction from district court to avoid flooding court

THREADETTE: THIS. AND we still don't know 2 key points: WHAT prompted Aspen Institute to run "table top exercise" to "prebunk" story amazingly similar to reality. AND why was Baltimore FBI agent running keyword searches to flag disinformation for Twitter? /1
2/ It wasn't merely FBI feeding "hack and leak" warnings to social media. THAT IS HUGE STORY & we need to know if folks doing that knew of Hunter Biden laptop OR were fed idea of hack and leak by someone who did. BUT also what/who prompted Aspen Institute's focus on Hunter.
3/ Here's my reporting on that aspect that I've yet to see anyone else pick up on. ALSO note that many "disinfo" experts say prebunking as MOST effective counter to folks believing disinformation, or here truth. thefederalist.com/2023/02/09/twi…

🚨Here is tDa terrorists filing in SCOTUS re Trump Administration's motions related to Alien Enemies Act case. 1/
2/ SCOTUS could go 2 ways: a) granting stay b/c court must ensure it has jurisdiction & no jurisdiction here + harm to Article II warrant relief; or b) since Trump is able to remove still this case can wait...unlike others where Trump is forced to pay out money.
3/3 I could actually see Justices doing so horse trading: Okay no stay here but stay in these other cases where Trump is forced to pay money & reinstated fired employees. Here's petition. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24/2…

🚨Trump Administration files 🔥reply brief in SCOTUS in Dept. of Educ. v. California case. Trump asks for stay & vacatur of order they reinstate grants they terminated. Entire brief is worth a read for those knee-deep. A few topline take-aways. 1/
2/ Brief highlights absolute abuse of TROs & details cases where orders entered and illustrates why district court's lack jurisdiction over broad swatch of cases & basically begs SCOTUS to put an end to it.
3/ That portion confirms my point that once SCOTUS (or appellate courts) establish precedent on specific issues the lawfare will be greatly reduced. And here, as I've stressed before, the issue is Plaintiffs manufacturing claims under Administrative Procedures Act.
