DEVELOPING Trump Justice Dept. asks U.S. judge to reject House Judiciary Committee request for Mueller grand jury materials, argues courts in 1974 wrongly gave Congress the Watergate grand jury 'roadmap' that led to President Nixon's impeachment.
"Wow, O.K.," responded U.S. Chief District Judge Beryl A. Howell of Washington, D.C., sounding unpersuaded. "As I said, the department is taking an extraordinary position in this case."

NEW U.S. successfully invokes state secrets privilege to end challenge by American journalist -- and U.S. citizen -- to his alleged placement on drone ‘kill list’. washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
“What constitutional right is more essential than the right to due process before the govt may take a life?" Judge Rosemary Collyer wrote. "While the answer may be none, courts possess limited authority [... even to resolve questions] alleged to involve constitutional rights."
“Despite the serious nature of Plaintiff’s allegations, this Court must dismiss the action pursuant to the government’s invocation of the state secrets privilege,” she concluded, saying the government's privilege to withhold sensitive national security information is "absolute"

House Judiciary Chair Nadler announced they're filing an application in the DC federal district court seeking grand jury material from Mueller's probe. Note the DC Circuit recently issued a decision that narrowed judges' authority to unseal grand jury info
Now, this DC Circuit case isn't totally on point — it involves a request for "historically significant" materials going back to the 1950s — but the notion that the bar is exceptionally high for courts to approve disclosure of grand jury material is relevant
(On July 22, the DC Circuit rejected a request to reconsider this grand jury unsealing case en banc)

1/12 Care for a little more about the WaPost article on 2016 anti-Trumpers having "second thoughts"? Don't mind if I do. washingtonpost.com/politics/these…
Here is the body of an email I wrote to a friend and a group of his friends earlier today, where the article was the subject of a group mail.
3/12 I co-wrote and organized the first of the two famous letters. It was published in March of 2016, but my first draft was written at Thanksgiving the year before. Wise hands in the GOP National Security world told me I was being alarmist, and I should wait "...until the

🏢Trump’s 40 Wall Street🏢

📌Dec 1995: 40 Wall Street Is Sold to Trump from Kinson Properties of Hong Kong.

📌Kinson paid $8 million for it in 1993.

📌After Trump purchased 40 Wall St. he re-named it the Trump Building.

📌To this day, Trump maintains that he paid only $1 million for the property, but conflicting reports indicate that he actually paid $10 million for it.

40 Wall Street, one of the properties bought in the early 80's by J. J. & R.E. Bernstein, found later to be acting on behalf of Ferdinand E. MARCOS, the late President of the Philippines & later placed in limbo when the Marcos assets were frozen in the US

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.

"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"

“Cambridge Analytica ...had had the [stolen] Clinton emails more than a month before they were published by WikiLeaks.”

Savor the implications. 🤗

It is fitting that Trump has been forced into retreat by babies. Cruelty should never be mistaken for strength.

The dystopian Trump Admin is weaponizing gov’t by eviscerating regs that protect the 98% (those w/o money & power), & they’re weaponizing bureaucracy, in order to use it against everyone they don’t like, whether it’s immigrants or poor people or DEMs.
