This, btw, is the affidavit of yet another "Military Intelligence" 'expert' in "vote analysis" and "political trends" whose expert opinion is - and I shit you not - "Come on, a Democrat can't win Georgia"
Seriously.
I mean look at this. LOOK AT IT.
Again, no time to do a full spin through but the affs are at the end of the Appendix, which you can find here dropbox.com/home/Kraken%20…
Imagine the level of crazy it takes not to be the person writing this affidavit, but to be the attorney who thinks submitting it is a good idea - let alone as new matter on appeal
"Look, all of this is hearsay and I don't know what any of it meant. I could take a guess, but I won't. Please take this seriously"
Gotta run. Enjoy the affs. I particularly liked "my niece flew in from Texas, where she lives, and voted illegally"

Y'all, I've gotten the filings to date in the #Squidigation appeal in Georgia. Don't have time for a true thread today, but a couple of points of clownery are worth highlighting. You can find the full docs here dropbox.com/sh/uvkqcnvq2on…
First, you may remember that the Eleventh Circuit had some ... concerns ... about whether Team Kraken could actually appeal the Court's order, and directed all parties to address those concerns by December 3
Well, here's the docket entries for those filings. Note the problem?
OK, #Squidigation fans, I think we need to talk about the new Wisconsin suit Donald Trump filed - personally - in Federal Court last night. The suit is (as usual) meritless. But it's meritless in new and disturbing ways. This thread will be long
I apologize in advance to my wife, who would very much prefer I be billing time (today's a light day, though) and to my assistant, to whom I owe some administrative stuff this will likely keep me from 😃
First, some background. Trump's suit essentially tries to Federalize the Wisconsin Supreme Court complaint his campaign filed, which we discussed here.
The first 2 pages of transcript are intros/is everyone ok on Zoom. Then we get to this ... which is not a good sign if you're the party asking for the TRO
Powell's response is "We'd like you to issue that first draft order that you circulated to the parties and my co-counsel posted to Twitter as though it had been issued"
Hi, #Squidigation fans, Brad has you covered on the latest iteration of Sidney Powell and co putting on their whiteface and red noses and hitting each other with rubber chickens for the amusement of the court.
You may have noticed the courts are not particularly amused
What was the rule supposed to be? That if you were a restaurant located at a trump property you were barred from getting a PPP loan? Is that if you were a business with offices in a Kushner property, you couldn't participate in the program?
This could have been the start of a meaningful story, with more recording. It's possible that some of those loans were pushed through despite not meeting guidelines for the program specifically because of the business addresses. But if so, that's not in this story
@questauthority I've litigated this issue, including very very recently. To show good cause you basically have to show that you could not have held the hearing on the TRO within the 10 days provided despite your diligent efforts to hold it on time
@questauthority In that order, Batten is essentially announcing in advance that there are no circumstances where he will agree to extend the TRO. He has already found that their delay of the hearing is not good cause
