Here are a series of original photos taken by WH photographer of the DC funeral ceremony.

49 years ago yesterday #DBCooper successfully perpetrated the most famous unsolved skyjacking crime. Or did he? I provided legal counsel to cold case team that believes we solved the mystery.

Tonight, I'm discussing new @TheHisotry program on case.

washingtonpost.com/local/how-the-…
2/ I've worked this case for several years. Our cold case team incl experts in law, law enforcement, forensics, cryptology, journalism & other relevant areas. First hand witnesses were interviewed & we were regularly in touch with @FBI.
3/I had no idea @TheHisotry was producing program. No one connected to it reached out to our cold case team, which was more than 40 people.

There are many theories abt hijacking & I was surprised they didn't contact us if only to compare notes. Our efforts were high profile.

1/My client, a Navy veteran sexual assault victim, was subject of high level political smear attacks that led to firing of Deputy Secretary @DeptVetAffairs, who has now gone on record.

Now Congressman @DanCrenshawTX (R-TX) is slandering victim. Why?

newsweek.com/former-veteran…
2/@RepDanCrenshaw claims "she had filed six complaints while they served together in the Navy". FALSE.

Do you have proof to contrary Congressman? Let's hear it.

Why does it even matter if she filed even one complaint? What are you insinuating? That she files false reports?
3/That she exaggerates? That she creates situations as a victim? Is that what you are alleging about a sexual assault victim who actually works alongside of you in Congress? Do you really think your statement helps victims be comfortable in coming forward to report assaults?

No one should be treated like this, regardless of ideology. Culprits should be arrested & prosecuted.

But don't necessarily believe what could be propaganda by alt-right as other incidents allegedly involving BLM & Antifa (not an org) turned out to be right-wing agitators.
"In some cases, they have been found to purposefully sow confusion by impersonating left-wing activists in an effort to fuel movement toward civil war."

1/Several years ago I handled prepublication review case of former @CIA engineer who participated in #ProjectAzorian & he published "The CIA's Greatest Covert Operation: Inside the Daring Mission to Recover a Nuclear-Armed Soviet Sub".

Fascinating story.

END/ His book & story is now featured in documentary film released yesterday called "Neither Confirm Nor Deny".

I highly encourage everyone to watch. And @IntlSpyMuseum should consider airing the film in a future event!

If you are journalist who wants to #FOIA @USGSA for any documents relating to this debacle & expose potential partisanship of @GSAEmily, my law firm would be willing to represent you pro bono in court. You just pay filing fee.

Transparency is always important. Mark@MarkZaid.com
Slot taken! Away we go! Be prepared to be sued @USGSA/@GSAEmily. We'll be going after every e-mail you write.

CNN and MSNBC call the election for Biden in light of PA but FOXNEWS is discussing polling. Given Fox aggressively called AZ ahead of everyone else, I wonder if they are purposefully holding back.
AP and CBS also called it. Where are you @FoxNews?

You called AZ but not PA?

Something is wrong with that.
ABC and NBC also. So basically EVERYONE but Fox. 🤣
