Every infection, disability, and death caused by #COVID19 only makes us weaker. It diminishes us and America like a wasting disease. This is what our enemies want. For America to fade away. I don’t care if you’re a Republican, Democrat or anything else. I don’t want anyone 1/
else falling prey to this pandemic. We have much work to do after Biden is sworn in. It’s all hands on deck for the foreseeable future. If we want an equitable, prosperous, and strong America, we need to work hard for it. Our needs will only be fulfilled if we work to elect /2
people who act in our best interests. Party is irrelevant. What does the candidate truly offer us? Will this person insist that our institutions answer to the American people and act in an effect and efficient manner? Will our press report unbiasedly and shun narratives, 3/
puffery, and PR Op-Eds? Will they speak truth to power as they were meant to? It’s up to us to make this happen. Our Republic requires perpetual vigilance, not only from armies or invading forces, but from abuse of power, corruption & most importantly, our own indifference. X

This, exactly. We’re making determinations of guilt or innocence based upon supposition, narratives, and press brain storming. The Grand Jury made the determination not to find a true bill or indict for murder. They had the facts. We didn’t. From a civil prospective, 1/
Breonna Taylor’s estate received a huge payout of 12 million for her wrongful death and conscious pain and suffering. That’s incredible for anywhere especially Kentucky. To place that in perspective, Eric Garner who’s estate was repped by Jonathan Moore - excellent attorney /2
recieved $5.9 million dollars. The State did the right thing here in settling for that amount instead of torturing her family for years in civil litigation - Qualified Immunity - like my clients experienced in the Mafia Cop case which lasted nearly 10 years. We may not like /3

Quick thread on Barr’s firing of USA Berman. It’s clear that both he and Trump are scared. This is a desperate move. However, it will not be effective in terms of ending current prosecutions. All matters before the Court require judicial consent to dismiss. That means DOJ 1/
Would have to make a motion to dismiss any action which could be denied by the Court. The Court can also assign a special prosecutor to prosecute or continue prosecuting any current action. We are witnessing the beginning of this in the Flynn matter before Judge Sullivan. 2/
The Court will not like nor approve of any such action by Barr or his puppet to dismiss active prosecutions out of the blue. They will get jammed up attempting this. It’s more obstruction of justice. Remember how Barr travelled to our European allies in an attempt to learn 3/

Unfortunate that SCOTUS denied cert in Jessop v City of Fresno concerning theft of assets by POs & the application of Qualified Immunity. We need to see the High Court do away with QI as its just another hurdle victims of PO misconduct need to overcome. @neal_katyal @NPAP_NLG
A quick explanation of what Qualified Immunity or QI means in a civil rights context. If a police officer engages in an activity against a suspect that they reasonable believe is a lawful activity, even if it violates the suspects Constitutional rights, the PO may not be 1/
liable for that activity. Under the law, they’ll be immune from any damage they may have caused, including death. The activity is viewed under an objectively reasonable standard. In other words, if a judge or jury believe the officer acted reasonably, in general, the PO will 2/

So tonight during HH, one of my drinking buddies told us a story how he had a little run-in with a former Fox News personality recently. He was on line with about 20 others, all wearing masks and social distancing, waiting to pick up his order from a popular Italian 1/
restaurant in my area. Great food. While he’s waiting on line, a black Cadillac pulls up onto the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. The driver, not wearing a mask, walks right in cutting the line. Everyone is yelling at him and he’s completely ignoring the cacophony. 2/
My buddy walks in to confront this guy (we’re all like that) He sees him paying at the register. Looks like some old guy from behind. When the old guy turns to leave, my buddy realizes it’s @BillOReilly As O’Reilly is passing him, my friend points right at his face and says 3/

.@realDonaldTrump is correct to criticize both the WHO, which doesn’t recognize the nearly 24 million ppl in Taiwan & has been much in line w PRC propaganda regarding #COVID19 and China. However, this does not, in any way, excuse his gross negligence & criminal malfeasance in 1/
preparing and coordinating America’s response to the virus. He’s using the attacks on China, they deserve the criticism & need to be held to task for this, and the WHO, to obfuscate his own inexcusable conduct. Call him out on it. X

So that last few days we’ve been discussing @thespybrief Captain Crozier and the #COVID19 breakout on the Teddy Roosevelt and whether going public (outside the chain of command) was a proper action by him or if he should have stayed within military channels. BTW @thespybrief 1/
has been an indispensable resource for perspectives on what our country is going through. So let’s get back to Crozier. Being the captain on any USN ship is a huge responsibility, let alone an aircraft carrier. Let’s say #COVID19 was running rampant through the ship and 2/
Crozier’s attempts to have his superiors take the ship into port for decontamination, medical support, etc were being rebuffed. We, the public, don’t know why he was being rebuffed but we can’t automatically assume it’s bc his superiors were merely heartless. There could be 3/
