Here is a thread and link to my statement about the federal lawsuit we just filed against @realDonaldTrump and @PressSec on behalf @Playboy White House Correspondent @BrianKarem seeking immediate restoration of his hard pass. gibsondunn.com/wp-content/upl… 1/3
“Today we filed a lawsuit against President Trump and Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham asking the federal district court in Washington, D.C. to order the immediate restoration of the press credentials of @BrianKarem and . . . 2/3
to enjoin the ongoing violation of his First and Fifth Amendment rights. We are confident that the Administration’s latest punitive and lawless action against a journalist will not stand, and we look forward to our day in court.” 3/3

Mark Meadows can’t claim Executive Privilege unless President Biden invokes it for him, and he hasn’t, so Meadows is in pure contempt.
These aren’t close questions.
He was involved in a coup plot with a former president who has no power to exert Executive Privilege

A former President cannot assert Executive Privilege against a current President.
Executive Privilege belongs to the actual President and no one else.
It stays with the office not the person.

To bring a lawsuit, you need to have a claim that your rights were violated by a breach of the law, causing injury to you.
To get an injunction halting the defendant from doing something, a plaintiff must show “irreparable harm,” but the simple act of counting votes causes no harm (it’s a numerical tally) and is not irreparable (among other things, a candidate can ask for a recount).
In addition, a plaintiff must show that the “public interest” favors an injunction, an extraordinary form of judicial relief — but the public interest strongly favors counting (not disregarding) the votes of citizens relying in good faith on the law in a presidential election

Pick any one of the many horrifying undisputed examples of Trump-family blending of political and financial corruption from last week’s NYT story and it will dwarf the bogus Hunter Biden story even if it were true. “The Swamp That Trump Built.” nytimes.com/interactive/20…
This blatant abuse of the PRESIDENCY for money by Donald Trump and his children is happening NOW and has been happening for four years and no one disputes it.
