2/ So @CNN thought biggest take-away was that Russia is still meddling "as we sit here." That CNN thought that was the biggest take-away tells me that they haven't been listening to a word from the right. AG Barr testified that months ago, see my @FDRLSTedition.cnn.com/2019/07/24/pol…
3/3 No, the biggest take-away was that Mueller didn't know who Fusion GPS was and that that aspect was beyond his "purview." Sequestering myself now to work on more complete thoughts. END
😡😡😡So after @howappealing highlighted this from Times yesterday, I had a friend share because I figured he wouldn't promote garage and I wanted to see if analysis was any better. But OMgosh! #$@%! 1/ nytimes.com/2024/05/20/opi…

3/3 And let me end with this. Alito is not "blaming his wife." He is doing EXACTLY what the Code of Conduct requires: "Disassociating" himself from the flag.
🚨Working on a piece for Monday @FDRLST on the fake flag scandal re Alito. Here's your shorter version: There is no scandal! I served as career law clerk for federal appellate judge for ~25 years, 6 of which I assisted with Codes of Conduct inquiries. While those rules don't 1/
2/apply to Supreme Court justices, the justices apply the same principles. The difference being there is much more detail for lower courts, including that judges are barred from displaying political signs. BUT the rules also make clear that doesn't apply to spouses.
3/ In fact, the Codes of Conduct committee made that point clear through advise. Yes, Judge should discourage, but NO Judge is not "boss" of his spouse and no ethical violation is spouse decides to post a political sign.
🔥🔥🔥THREAD: Today a federal court in Texas granted @realDailyWire @FDRLST & @KenPaxtonTX expedited discovery in their lawsuit against the State Department & GEC, with youthful powerhouse public interest law firm @NCLAlegal representing Media Plaintiffs. 1/
