White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows tries to kneecap FBI Director Wray for briefing Congress on truth about #2020election.👇

Wray told Congress of the absence of any widespread voter fraud.

This needs to be said: Meadows has a history of lying to the media. ...
2. Example of Meadows’ pattern of lying to the media:
3. Here’s the video of the not-credible White House chief of staff Meadows trying to undermine the highly credible FBI Director Wray.

I have a new piece with @AWeissmann_ in @just_security:

Questions the Supreme Court Should Ask at Oral Argument on Presidential Immunity


Just Security also published a complementary piece showing speed by which #SCOTUS can decide cases—if it wants to.⬇️justsecurity.org/94867/supreme-…Image
2/ Here's a link to the second piece. By Fred Wertheimer:

justsecurity.org/94848/supreme-…
3/ Here are the most important questions in my view for the Justices to ask Trump's attorneys.

Note there is no good answer to them. In other words, there is no legal basis to oppose a quick resolution of the immunity question.Image

NYT scoop: "David Pecker...is set to go first" as prosecution witness. ⬇️

Pecker could be key witness - in ways more devastating than Michael Cohen.

This also indicates DA is foregrounding unlawful election influence for jurors.

hat tip: @AWeissmann_
nytimes.com/2024/04/21/nyr…
2/ As this Timeline shows, Pecker's testimony should be strong proof of core allegation that the hush money scheme was geared toward influencing the outcome of the presidential election.

justsecurity.org/85761/timeline…
3/ Pecker was principal at August 2015 Trump Tower meeting with Trump and Michael Cohen setting up catch-and-kill election operation.

Great WSJ reporting⤵️

"What can you do to help my campaign? he asked, according to people familiar with the meeting."

Note the time stamps in DA's new motion alleging 7 more violations of gag order.

But first this nugget by @KlasfeldReports about alleged gag violation.

On Monday, prosecutor told the judge:

“It’s entirely possible it was done within this courthouse.”

justsecurity.org/daily-courtroo…
2/ See some of the time stamps that DA identifies in new motion.⤵️

Monday 9:12 a.m.
Monday 10:26 a.m.
Tuesday 1:50 p.m.

To make these statements or have these statements made from within the courthouse would be to amplify the "contempt" of and for the court.

3/ New York law also gives special powers to a judge in enforcing their orders (e.g., gag order) if the violation occurs in the "immediate view and presence of the court."

I don't think these alleged violations do so, but the fact that they might come close is significant.

Watch this space:

At start of #TrumpTrial, Trump's violations of recent #GagOrder are likely to come up with key question being what sanctions Justice Merchan may threaten or impose.

Great discussion here ⬇️ between @ErinBurnett, District Attorney @Mimirocah1 and @OMGrisham

DA Rocah: "Trump coming out and calling them liars is about as stark a violation as you can get."
2/

On left:

#GagOrder provision prohibiting former President Trump making public statements about witnesses in Manhattan criminal case.

On right:

Trump public statements about witnesses in violation of the gag order (plus one about judge's daughter)

3/ And .... here we go (as anticipated):

Manhattan District Attorney prosecutors asking judge to move toward holding Trump in contempt of court for violations of #GagOrder.
