SULLIVAN: has anyone filed a motion with Contreras to withdraw the plea with him? POWELL: we've provided it to this court and we included it in the mandamus petition.
SULLIVAN: when can a court review a rule 48 a motion: the court is required to grant it. POWELL: It's in the government's sole discretion and it has to be dismissed WITH precedent to prevent continued harassment by the court and Mr. Gleeson.
SULLIVAN: Well i have not appointed Gleeson as special prosecutor, if you want to argue that you can file it in a week or so. How is the court to determine any motives? POWELL: it can look at the pleadings by the government, we're up to 150 pages of new eviccende
that the investigation was part of a central coup to take out trump and the investigation into flynn was part of that coup to take out Mr. Trump. SULLIVAN: any other arguments? POWELL: we have provided new info and it requires a dismissal.
WOW. She then quotes Alice in Wonderland with regards to Gleeson's arguments. Then she says a bunch of insane bullshit that I can't type because it makes no sense. She says the tweets are a red herring as is the letter from Strzok and shouldn't be considered at all
Something about a department of prosecution and a department of justice. This is the most egregious injustice I've seen in my 30 years. this court dismiss the case with prejudice.
Sullivan gives it to the DoJ: Gleeson makes our points for us. 1. At no point did Gleeson address Nixon or Fokker. "Executive branch has absolute discretion whether to prosecute a case" and "Leave of court authority gives NO power to district court to deny based on a disagreement
Gleeson gave no explanation or arguments to these quotes. SULLIVAN: so what you're saying is leave of court is required, and i assuem you concede we can have this hearing, but regardless I have to grant the motion?
In a case where the defendant agrees with the government, your role is very limited. As long as the AG has made an authoritative determination, you have to go with that determination. If you don't agree with that, Gleeson says you can set it aside if its based on favoritism
and Gleeson cited the president's comments and I assure you the AG didn't make this decision based on what trump said. And trump never said "you must dismiss the case". He only said it was a witch hunt. (Oh my god lol)

I hate to break it to you, but even if Garland had appointed a special counsel in 2021 and trump was indicted a year earlier, there still would not have been a trial before the election. Let me explain. 1/
We know that last year, donald filed for immunity. That's interlocutory, which means it has to be solved before trial. That whole appeal and oral argument process from district court to circuit court to SCOTUS, took nearly a year. 2/
The way SCOTUS set up the process is that they sent it back to the lower court to determine what's immune and what's not under their new immunity rules, and then THAT second immunity decision is interlocutory, too. 3/
Allow me to go through Tim Pool’s sad excuses for why he’s quitting two weeks before an election. 1/
1. “It’s not a financial thing. We make a lot of money.”
Okay, but you want to start a family and you’re gonna quit the big ol’ money maker? Or is your wife the bread winner? Kinda woke, isn’t it? 2/
2. “The structure becomes bigger and bigger and bigger until it becomes impossible to manage.”
Then you expand and hire people and pay them well and give them benefits. Sorry you’re unable to run a small business. I started at my kitchen table with 10 downloads. Now I run a network and have over 50M. But I don’t get millions from Russia. 3/
THREAD: Despite the overwhelming support for telling my story, I want to address some of the pushback I've received from Republicans on this site. First, "This is pure propaganda. Florida has exceptions for rape. You support killing babies so much you’re willing to lie to unsuspecting people about it." 1/
Let me address the "Florida has an exception for rape" point first. Florida does have an exception for rape if you provide a "police report, restraining order, medical record, or other court order." That requires the service member to report their rape. Let me tell you what happened when I tried to report my rape. 2/
I was wrapped in a blanket and bleeding because my rapist's friends had stolen my clothes. It was still dark, around 0400. I snuck out and went to the on-base law enforcement office to report the rape. I was seated in an interrogation room under one of those fluorescent lamps at a metal desk, where I waited for about 30 minutes. 3/
Um, wow. The evidence and testimony Jack Smith has is DAMNING. For instance, the government has testimony that Donald said of the voter fraud claims that the "details don't matter." There is also testimony that trump said it didn't matter if he lost, he would just declare he won. 1/
There are also multiple conversations Pence had with his running mate that they'd lost and it was time to "take a bow". I'm just digging into this, but Trump is cooked. None of this is immune (or the presumptive immunity can be easily rebutted.) 2/
HA! When Trump was on the phone with Michigan, lying to them about voter fraud, Trump was corrected and reminded he lost two counties becuase he "underperformed with educated females", which pissed him off. 3/
NEW: THREAD: A new ruling from Judge McBurney in Georgia overturning the abortion ban and allowing the procedure to continue has some REMARKABLE quotes. Let's take a look at just a few. 1/
"While the State’s interest in protecting “unborn” life is compelling, until that life can be sustained by the State -- and not solely by the woman compelled by the Act to do the State’s work -- the balance of rights favors the woman." 2/
"Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted, not-yet-viable fetus to term violates her constitutional rights to liberty and privacy, even taking into consideration whatever bundle of rights the not-yet-viable fetus may have." 3/
