Trump v House Financial Services Committee oral argument has started in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Patrick Strawbridge for Trump says he is being targeted because he's President - @SDNYLIVE thread
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Trump's lawyer Strawbridge snarks that the Department of Justice knows a little bit about criminal law. The panel are Circuit Judges Jon O. Newman, Peter W. Hall and Debra Ann Livingston (who is looking down, taking notes)
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Judge Livingston cites investigating money laundering, in order to amend the laws. Strawbridge asks why does this require debt card info about the President's children. Judge Livingston switches to the Intelligence Cmttee subpoenas
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Strawbridge is out of time, asks for more. He's told "we're going to be somewhat loose with the clock;" also for lawyer for Housing Financial Services Committee. It's SDNY District Judge Ramos' order that's being appealed. At 10:45 he had a case about... Old Navy
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Trump's lawyer Strawbridge quotes Maxine Waters saying she wants to find out where the President's money comes from and expose it. Urges 2d Circuit to follow DC Circuit decision in AT&T (a wiretap case)
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC He goes there: Trump's lawyer Strawbridge brings up Fusion GPS, then says he is not authorized to negotiate here at the podium. Plays the reasonableness card, emphasizing Team Trump offered to negotiate before the Preliminary Injunction hearing before Judge Ramos
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Peaking, Trump's lawyer Strawbridge says that his "friends on the other side" are essentially arguing that Congress can make anyone a case study, demand all information, and the courts can do nothing about it
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Strawbridge says the (majority in the) House Financial Services Committee has as its goal "distracting" the President. He's now 14 minutes over his time.
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Trump's lawyer Strawbridge says the House Resolution 507 is irrelevant, an after the fact rationalization of the subpoenas. Now into the weeds of the RFPA, 750 page attachment to the an amendment that was not enacted applying it to Congress.
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC As Trump's lawyer Strawbridge finished, getting 3 minutes for rebuttal later, two silent protesters stood up in the back of the 2d Circuit courtroom with printed signs which went down too quickly to be read, at least by Inner City Press (check others)
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC House General Counsel says that no bank would touch Trump other than Deutsche Bank has been "widely reported in the responsible press." Kind of a genteel reversed way to say #FakeNews
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Inner City Press just asked, "Are you the woman who held up the sign?" Yes. What did it say? She: that "Deutsche Bank Should Be Allowed To Respond To The Subpoena."

As a slogan, needs a bit of work. And too long for an acronym
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Judge Newman has a hypothetical: if Deutsche Bank held a check used to pay for a person's medical care, would they have to show it in response to a Congressional subpoena? Doug Letter says Congress might not pursue it if it were a "gardener."
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Douglas Letter says exceptions could be made if Trump acknowledged the validity of the subpoena and makes to exclude a small percentage not about funding by Russian oligarchs. Judge Newman asks if Letter would be OK with the 2d Cir imposing exclusions
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Judge Newman asks if Congress would make the records public if it gets them from the banks. Letter says, well we are the Congress of the US. Seems to mean, Yes.
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC A programming note: batteries are running down (they're not in good shape even when fully charged). The rest may need to wait for the post-argument story on InnerCityPress.com and patreon.com/MatthewRussell…
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @Grantfaulkner4 @topsecretk9 @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC Judges Newman and Hall direct Deutsche Bank and Capital One to file a letter in 48 hours, under seal, answering whether they have Trump's tax returns and would give them up in response to subpoena. Story (very) soon
