Charles Guiteau (a DC lawyer) was legally responsible for President Garfield's death but the medical treatment of the day (1881) finished him off. Today, the result would have been different.

1/President Trump just issued Executive Order to revoke #securityclearances of 51 signatories, eight of whom I rep, who signed Hunter Biden laptop letter in 2020.

But here's the problems with it:

Ignore fact that no President has ever done this before.

whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
2/Presidents have ultimate authority concerning indiv's access to #classifiedinformation. No dispute. That's how Trump overrode multiple concerns by agencies during 1st term & granted access.

Since 50s Red Scare no Pres has punished clearance holders over 1st Amendment rights.
3/Although EO intent is to revoke all clearances, doesn't quite do that. Instructs Dir of National Intelligence, who is Executive Agent over clearances, to start revocation. Not sure why DNI needs to consult w/CIA. Accomplishes nothing. DNI controls appropriate database already.

1/On Friday, Jan 10th, @ODNIgov will issue new Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning #AnomalousHealthIncidents. @POTUS/WH did not ask for it. @CIA initiated it to counter recent House Intelligence Committee report that "a foreign adversary is behind some AHIs".
2/In March 2023, @ODNIgov issued ICA stating "IC’s judgment that U.S. adversaries, including Russia, were not engaged in a global campaign resulting in AHIs."



But HPSCI found it "lacked analytic integrity and was highly irregular in its formulation."dni.gov/index.php/news…
@ODNIgov 3/An IC Experts Panel earlier concluded "Pulsed electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radiofrequency range, plausibly explains the core characteristics of reported AHIs, although information gaps exist." My law firm helped secure declassification of report through #FOIA.

1/THREAD - Defend Democracy Against MAGA Lawsuits

We (@JohnPhillips/@BradMossEsq) are now rep'ing Fred Wellman (@FPWellman) who has been sued for defamation by President Trump's 1st National Security Advisor #MichaelFlynn.

Please rt this widely to help.

gofundme.com/f/defend-democ…
2/Enforcement of the rule of law is an important and valuable principle in our Democracy. Unfortunately, the law can be abused as a weapon to try and intimidate those who stand up against government corruption and misconduct.
3/As part of MAGA’s efforts to silence those who challenge their actions to undermine Democracy, President Trump’s former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who in 2017 pled guilty to a felony count of “willfully and knowingly” making false statements to the FBI ...

1/Thread abt #Grenell lawsuit against @OliviaTroye.

Today we (#TomCraig, @TMCv63, @fhhfirm) were scheduled to depose fmr Acting @ODNIgov & US Amb to Germany #RickGrenell as part of his defamation lawsuit against our GOP client #Troye.

We were there. He did not show.
2/Background info abt #Grenell’s litigation, which was filed almost year ago, can be found in this previous thread:

3/After weeks of failed attempts to negotiate mutual date, which is what professionals do, we properly issued Notice of Deposition on May 30 for today. Even though #Grenell is Plaintiff & chose VA as his venue, he does not wish to travel from CA for his deposition.

1/THREAD ON CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION INTO FBI WHISTLEBLOWER ALLEGATIONS

Both DEMS & media need to stop describing individuals as "alleged", "self-styled" or other challenging term re: #whistleblower status.

They meet definition of being #WBer.

cnn.com/2023/05/18/pol…
2/If individuals made protected disclosure to supervisor in employee’s direct chain of command, an OIG or appropriate congressional committee or its members, they are protected #whistleblowers.

Doesn't mean they are credible or accurate, but attacking status undermines system.
3/I served as co-counsel to IC #whistleblowers whose complaint led to Trump's 1st impeachment (not our objective). Cong. Jordan was hypocritically a key attacker of WBer's lawful & legitimate status. It was wrong then, it is wrong now.

1/TICKET FOR FLASHING HEADLIGHTS, SERIOUSLY?

I will be appearing in Montgomery County Maryland District Court Monday afternoon to represent driver ticketed by @MDSP for flashing headlights at car that dangerously cut them off.

Interesting news story! @wamu885 @WTOP @semelm
2/I've been down this route before. In 2009, I was ticketed for flashing my headlights at Montgomery County speed trap. I challenged ticket as being unconstitutional & lawful.

washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content…
3/Ticket was dismissed. @mcpnews admitted my actions were lawful. Then Police Chief #TomManger (now @CapitolPolice Chief) personally apologized to me, which I accepted as sincere, & I dropped my plan to file lawsuit.
