1. The more I look at these Trump election contests the more apparent they're all linked to the criminal conspiracy to impair the @USPS. Question for me: Do the lawyers know the the criminal purpose sufficiently to have incurred criminal liability?
2. For Rudy & Sidney Powell, I think it likely. For run-of-the-mill local counsel, absent more proof, I would think not. But Rudy & Powell likely will be seeking pardons that may have been part of their deal. And with them, Trump will dig himself a deeper hole and the ongoing
3. nature of the conspiracy will bring Rudy and Grisham a taste of my #Lazarus Theory that says you cannot successfully pardon an on-going conspiracy because the continued agreement plus a single overt act in furtherance of the unlawful purpose done by any conspirator
4. brings to life a brand-new crime not subject to the pardon. What they need is immunity. A pardon won't work and they will all be subject to charges. Flynn may have already blown his pardon by showing why he was drummed-out for lack of impulse control. @tribelaw @neal_katyal

1. "Plaintiff’s Claims Fail on Their Merits—Wisconsin’s Appointment of Presidential Electors for the 2020 Presidential Election Was Conducted in the Manner Directed by the Wisconsin Legislature. . . .
2. This is an extraordinary case. A sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration, issues he plainly could have raised before the vote
3. occurred. This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits. In his reply brief, plaintiff “asks that the Rule of Law be followed. It has been." (citation to docket omitted).

1. I know that a lot of folks in my party do not support the amount of funding the military gets. I realize what we give up. But I also know that in a dangerous world not being prepared invites aggression. Several years ago I went aboard a carrier for a tour while it was in port.
2. After the tour, the Exec pulled me aside and implored me to help end sequester. I promised I would. Today's vote to authorize our 2021 Defense budget and allow forward planning consistent with our Constitutional limitations is a win for all who seek freedom from tyranny.
3. Now we need to roll up our sleeves and help Americans in need. If you live in a state with a @GOP Senator, pull them aside online or by phone and tell them to end @senatemajldr term as Senate Majority leader. He's a Russian mobbed up traitor and should be in prison

1. Folks in Northern Syria needed help to stop environmental damage near the oil fields that had been exploited by #Daesh and Turkish backed smugglers doing tremendous damage.

From August: Little-known U.S. firm secures deal for Syrian oil politi.co/31cOFSZ via @politico
2. The current interest in this is not going to help the people seeking to free Northern Syria from terrorists and the control of an undemocratic and brutal Assad regime. With Turkey working with ISIS and Al-Qaeda, I find the interest in this story inconsistent with the US goal,
3. shared by most Americans, to create a stable prosperous democratic Syria. There will be time to look at this deal and who benefits. Personally, I don't think there is any extraction of revenue from it. I haven't been able to find the current price of petroleum

1. How can @senatemajldr politically ignore the economic suffering? Why aren't Red States demanding action? Should we rethink farm supports and throw the family farms into to the capitalist shark tank or still provide welfare for the people who are trying to end our democracy?
2. The answer is no. We need healthy family farms. What we need to do it make publishing lies and Russian propaganda a crime that gets immediate action. @FoxNews, AON and NewsMax have to feel the heat for their treasonous conduct. Connect them to Russia that is the driving force
3. behind Trump Fascism and use the law to seize their assets for using them in a criminal enterprise. Identify the Propagandists, find the people supporting them and begin to dismantle the Propaganda state of Trump and Putin. First thing, demand your cable company not subsidize

1. I always go to the hometown paper for the in-depth details. I'm at 50% Paxton is indicted in a matter of days.

FBI agents seek Texas attorney general records in Paxton probe statesman.com/story/news/pol… via @statesman
2. There were other reports that while Paxton was partying with Trump, his office produced whatever the FBI was after. This article hints that it may be evidence, a memo perhaps, where Paxton directs his staff to shut down foreclosures to help his co-conspirator who was
3. facing a foreclosure. I'd guess related to his commercial property business. This story also identifies a woman who was involved and with whom Paxton is alleged to be having an affair. If Trump or his clown show legal team have been talking to Paxton about helping him in

The methane and LOX sure make for a nice clean launch.
That is strangest thing ever.
