Okay, this is hilarious! Peter Strzok's attorney is telling Judge Sullivan that @SidneyPowell1 is violating a court order by filing these additional disclosures. 1/
2/ NOPE! The court order was to not file supplements to "pending motions," which were motions to withdraw and motion for dismissal b/c of prosecutorial misconduct. The government's motion to dismiss was not filed until later! And even Sullivan wouldn't dare say you can't file
3/ relevant evidence to that motion. But what makes it even richer?
4/ Strzok knew of the Sullivan's standing order to turn over evidence and also that if there was a debate on materiality, it had to be presented to Judge Sullivan. But did Strzok's attorney send a note to Sullivan saying "hey, you should know we didn't think he was lying" and
5/5 "we're concerned that Van Quack hasn't turned over the documents that confirm that." UNREAL!
OMgosh...post-script: Strzok's attorney calls the documents "Brady production." Ummm, nothing like admitting government violated the standing order!!!!
And I have no idea how the dates were added, but assume someone was taking notes and accidently copied wrong document, was it Jensen's team, or Powell's (if true),but really, maybe Sullivan should look at the "mistake" made by the Special Counsel's office: thefederalist.com/2020/06/01/new…

🚨Hearing in Newsom v. Trump re National Guard starts in ~15 minutes. I'll be live-posting in this 🧵. 1/
2/ Hearing starting:
Judge Preliminary Comments: Entered scheduling order directing file of briefs & appreciative of that. It is necessary to have briefing & I have always have done it, even though styled as ex parte, sufficient cooperation to allow complete record as possible given, important--issues significance, and urgency so I need to act expeditiously but takes into consideration the arguments of the parties. That's the fair way to do it and way I've done it over the year and parties have been extremely helpful in this regard.
3/ Judge: Asks to start w/ federal government & wants feds to address several issues: It seems to me that it is necessary to understand whether the president complied with the statute 10406, which has a number of requirements. When Judge acted on desire to nationalized California National Guard he sited this statute.
🚨I began researching this deep-dive at @FDRLST soon after @SenGrassleyIA broke news of the "Prohibited Access" functionality of Sentinel. Inspector General conducted TEN audits of Sentinel & details buried in those report blow-open scandal. 1/
🚨🚨🚨Garcia's attorneys are not happy and they likely have a judge willing to play along. They now want discovery to learn what Trump Administration did to facilitate Garcia's return so allow court to hold Administration in contempt. 1/
2/ Garcia's attorney's seem to think they also have a "get out of jail free card" because SCOTUS ordered Trump to treat Garcia as if he hadn't been wrongfully removed & they only discovered evidence of his crime after that.
3/ And they think they can now challenge what happens to Garcia AFTER the criminal case. That is not ripe, however, because it depends on the outcome of that case.
