PS so based on the disgusting Vindman smear campaign - I can’t WAIT for LTC Vindman & Dr Hill’s Depo Transcripts to be eminently released.
It hasn’t been released but here’s an open DC secret...procedurally the Chairs upload to this repository (sometimes before) it’s uploaded to the HPSCI website
docs.house.gov/Committee/Comm…
Save the Date Next week will be Super interesting
pub typically a witness’ statements are uploaded 24 hours in advance of the hearing.
But we kind of know what to expect BUT do not underestimate the value of live in-person testimony Image

So @RudyGiuliani you still holding on the that promise of a pardon?
ProTip you traitor-tot-trash-panda
1) accepting a pardon mean you’re guilty
2) a PARDON CAN’T BE USED TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE
you are a POS - seriously i have zero sympathy for you & your ilk Image
@RudyGiuliani This is IMPORTANT 👇🏻

Ltc Vindman re $400M+ in aid: “..amounts to about 10% of their [current] military budget ...GDP because the Ukrainians spent 5-6% their GDP...fighting an active conflict against the Russians...”

That PUTS THE AID into much BETTER CONTEXT Image
Image
@RudyGiuliani I could be wrong - I believe Ltc Vindman is the only witness that addresses the totality and magnitude of Trump/Mulvaney/Sondland/Volker/Giuliani vile decision to freeze the aide
OUR AID represented 10% of UKRAINE’s Military Budget
I AM
SHIVERING
WITH
RAGE
@RudyGiuliani Of this wasn’t so serious to our Country’s Global Standing, our current Alliances and to our Nat Sec - I would laugh
-ps Congress needs to ask @USAmbEU
At WHO’S DIRECTION did you convey the “deliverable”?
How many Ex Parte meetings (sans NSC) did you have with Mulvaney? Image
Image
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU Mr “Order of Ineptitude” Kash Patel helped to cut Vindman OUT or Ukraine matters
BOOM 👉🏻Dr Hill alerted others that KASH PATEL was FALSLY representing to other NCS members that he was the Dir of Ukraine Matters

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch Mother of GOD... Dr Hill’s Depo re Kash Patel - bad

“I did warn my office to be very careful about communications with Kash Patel until we figured out why it was that he was sending..clearly materials on Ukraine over ...[to the White House]...”

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch Hey @SenRonJohnson you have some serious explaining to do.
Quick question did Kash Patel send you documents?
More precisely did Mr Patel or Nunes send you classified documents?
Oh and are you currently a member of the Gang of Eight?
Page 311 asshole Image

Image
Image
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson So @DevinNunes @SenRonJohnson
Did YOU ever send/receive classified info from Kash Patel re Ukraine
“..it's a red flag when somebody who you barely know is involved...one of your policy issues..providing...materials outside of the line that we don't even know what those materials” Image
Image
Image
Image
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes I’ll ask again @DevinNunes @SenRonJohnson did EITHER of YOU act as a conduit for Kash Patel who in turn gave Trump “out of scope materials concerning Ukraine”?
Ltc Vindman & Dr Hill lit your asses up.

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff So as previously discussed there are numerous federal statutes that particularize various Whistleblower Protections. (those of us in DC understand it can be Agency specific)
The thread (below) might help you understand the various WBer protections.

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff SPECIFICALLY Re IC
So let’s start at the beginning
Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA) of 1998
Title VII of the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 1999
P.L. 105-272 §§701-702
codified in 5 USC §8H, 50 USC §3033 & 50 USC §3517.

Protected communications; prohibition of retaliatory personnel actions WBer “protections for members of the Armed Forces, including those..assigned to an element of the IC”

FTR I AM NOT saying the WBers are in our Military

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff 🇺🇸PRESIDENTIAL POLICY DIRECTIVE (PPD) -19
Protecting Whistleblowers with Access to Classified Information.

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff H.Amdt. 894 to the DOD Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (H.R. 4870) appropriated $2M to establish:

the IC Whistleblower and Source Protection Directorate - which rolls up to the ICOIG
This WAS an amendment to the DDAA for Fiscal Year 2015
congress.gov/113/bills/hr48…
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff On the margins Meadow might be correct that anonymity of the Intelligence Community Whistleblower isn’t “codified” - sadly even I could make a decent argument that unmasking a WBEr would crate an untenable change in employment “status”.
That’s WHY DJT & Co want to out the WBers👇🏻
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff What kind of message do you think this sends to potentially FUTURE whistleblowers?
FFS even Dr Hill said she getting death threats via emails & calls and people have shown up at het door.
So sure keep acting like Trump & Co are totally fine.
THEY ARE WRONG & they are unAmerican
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff I rarely if ever AGREE with Tom but he’s 100% correct.
WH & NSC “serve at the pleasure of the POTUS” but the retaliation re Ltc Vindman started well before today’s news.
See upthread for the relevant statutes at play
x.com/RadioFreeTom/s…
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff Seriously in Dr Hill & Ltc Vindman - respective depos
It’s pretty clear that Vindman was ice’d out of his job
And I swear to god if the House doesn’t subpoena Kash Patel - I might lose my shit
See the transcript excepts 👇🏻
x.com/File411/status…
@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff I’m telling you now - NSC Employees “Work at the pleasure of the president”
But keep any eye on this
1) Trump is cleaning out the NSC
2) O’brien Is helping him
3) any further action by the DOD could & should be viewed as retaliation against Ltc Vindman

Before we dive into yesterday’s coalition of “blue states” suing the administration.

Below are a few factual predicts along with a bit of spicy commentary that might be helpful before we crack a few eggs:
-APA is real and Trump has repeatedly lost the argument surrounding the APA
-Arbitrary & Capricious is NOT the same as willfully disregarding Federal Courts
-the APA allows for Judicial Review irrespective of Trump’s lack luster losing arguments

Yesterday SCOTUS ruling & what that portends for State & Local and Fed Dept of Education
McMahon v. New York Case/Docket No. 24A1203
See full docket below
supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?fi…
July 15, 2025 SCOTUS Ruling below: supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…Image
Image
Image
Image
Again I recall sharing with you that several State AGs had already been working (since Nov 2024)
The main argument from the Blue States:
-Trump violated the APA
-specifically the States are requesting Trump’s orders concerning the Dept of Education
-separation of powers
-APA, lack of notice and minimal rationale proffered and even less current legal framework that the Trump Admin consistently fails to meet the basic understanding of separation of powers, appropriations, obligated funding
Trump believes “he can do what ever the fuck he wants and the Roberts Court (history will prove my 2019 assessments that the Roberts Court is the most currupt SCOTUS Court
-Dept Ed’s own internal guidelines FAILED to notify the States that the Dept Ed EMBARGOED MILLIONS of dollars and failed to follow not only Agency CFRs but actual lawsImage
Image
Image
Image
As many of you know (because I’ve repeatedly stated) most State & Local Governments fiscal year July to June. Whereas the Fed Fiscal Year is Oct to Sept. this “staggered” funding has been in place for decades.
This is reiterated throughout the States newly filed Complaint because the Trump Admin literally fucked over EVERY-state in the Union.
“…States according to the formulas set by Congress; the applicable appropriations acts, which require that these funds become available for obligation by the Secretary on July 1, 2025; and ED regulations, which provide that these funds are available for the States to obligate once they are made available to the Secretary. None of the authorizing statutes for these formula grants confer discretion on the Agency Defendants to withhold funding to conduct the discretionary “review”
being taken here“Image

Because once you drill down on the Judge’s written order -DEAR GOD she upbraided the administration’s subterfuge and went absolutely HAM on the trump admin.
This was/is her opening salvo
“Six years later, without notice, legal justification, or due process, officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), a subagency of..DHS put him on a plane bound for the Terrorism Confinement Center”
Source: ecf.mdd.uscourts.gov/doc1/093114776…Image

Footnote 2 is actually incredibly telling and increasingly problematic for @AGPamBondi and @TheJusticeDept again the DOJ SUSPENDED the Attorney who literally conceded: the Administration “made a grievance error”… literally the trump admin FUBAR here is off the charts. They basically signed Abrego Garcia‘s death warrant.
source: ecf.mdd.uscourts.gov/doc1/093114776…
FWIW do you remember me telling you during trump1.0 that he’s going to get people killed?
See rage retweet because I can’t believe we are doing this fucked up shit again
‘Defendants did not assert—at any point prior to or during the April 4, 2025, hearing—that Abrego Garcia was an “enemy combatant,” an “alien enemy” under the Alien Enemies Act, 50 U.S.C. § 21, or removable based on MS 13’s recent designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under 8 U.S.C. § 1189. Invoking such theories for the first time on appeal cannot cure the failure to present them before this Court. In any event, Defendants have offered no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity. And vague allegations of gang association alone do not supersede the express protections afforded under the INA, including 8 U.S.C. §§ 1231(b)(3)(A), 1229a, and 1229b. ..”Image

In today’s episode of
WE FUCKING WARNED YOU
because if you don’t think farmers are going to be body slammed by this shitty administration then you haven’t been paying attention
For Example: one of the 1st things trump did was doing a double shot to the Inflation Reduction Act Investments now on ice, indefinitely
farmers.gov/archived/loans…
If you think I’m exaggerating -I’m not farmers are literally facing catastrophic financial ruin because of trump’s insane public policies:
“Farmers on the hook for millions after Trump freezes USDA funds…The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not affect benefits that go directly to individuals.”
Source: washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/02…
FTR this isn’t the first time trump has targeted farmers. He doesn’t give a flying fuck that (during his first term) farmers suicide rates skyrocketed and that was only slightly eclipsed by farmers bankruptcy. Do you really want my 2019 to present receipts? Because I have a ton of receipts
From 2019 because nearly 4.5 year ago some of us warned you what Trump’s policies were doing. Yet millions of you fuckers voted a rapist, a fraud and a conman in as the president

Dear @DNC @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems this is Attorney General Tong.
AG Tong filed suit against @DOGE for their unlawful actions (nearly24 State AGs have filed lawsuit)
-exfiltrating Americans PII
-shutting down the State Dept USAID
-unlawfully offering buyouts
.-illegal removal of 17 OiGs, FEC, USPS, DOD, DOJ, FBI, UST databases.
-illegal removal of 17 OiGs, FEC, USPS, DOD, DOJ, FBI, UST databases… an ever-changing kaleidoscope of federal financial assistance that has been suspended, an ever-changing ka…leidoscope of federal financial assistance that has been suspended, has been suspended,
“...an ever-changing kaleidoscope of federal financial assistance that has been suspended, deleted, in transit, under review, and more since entry of the Order. “Image
Image
Again back in Nov I plainly stated that State AGs have multiple legal framework arguments not the least of which APA, FVRA,
“coalition today further seeks to preliminarily enjoin the Trump Administration’s actions to impose a funding freeze, emphasizing the widespread and irreparable harm to states, which rely on billions of dollars of critical federal assistance for public services to ensure access to education, clean air and water, and health care, and to support essential infrastructure projects.”Image
It’s one thing to provide lip service to a Federal Judge but it’s an entirely different argument when the @DOGE has willfully lied and misrepresented to the Court their actions and what the Court Ordered
Which is why you need to read pages 3 thru 7 because it is laid out bare. And @elonmusk should absolutely be charged with economic espionage, along with exfiltrating American PII and his DODE minions should also be charged. He, like trump has zero respect for the law, our constitution and both present a clear and present danger to America and her people
THIS IS BEYOND FUCKED UP
