1/@DHSgov WHISTLEBLOWER UPDATE:

As lawful #whistleblower, #BrianMurphy wishes to provide appropriate oversight authorities in both Legislative & Executive Branches with classified information pertaining to his disclosures regarding senior officials.

intelligence.house.gov/news/documents…
2/Murphy is highest ranking #WBer in decades, perhaps ever, and faces potential retaliation. Effective legal representation is crucial to protecting lawful #whistleblowers & everyone, to incl USGOVT, should support this premise.
3/It is a simple matter for @DHSgov to allow legal counsel to participate in classified proceedings, even on limited basis. I have had it happen in past cases, so one must question why DHS is obstructing a #whistleblower from revealing alleged misconduct of its top officials.
END/ That question answers itself.

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 ...

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.

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.

The latest U.S. intelligence assessment lacks transparency and we continue to question the accuracy of the alleged findings....
