1. Bar Exam Question:

The @SenateGOP @HouseGOP have said they are illegally carrying firearms in DC. Officer Olivia needs to question @laurenboebert regarding a report she is illegally carrying a firearm. Officer Olivia stops Boebert on the street and pats her down before
2. questioning her and discovers she is carrying an unpermitted loaded pistol. Boebert's attorney is seeking to exclude the evidence obtained during the search and subsequently found in her apartment and office after a warrant issued based on the seizure. What result and why?
3. Issue for me is whether the reports that they were armed can be used to create the "articulable suspicion" to authorize a "Terry Stop" pat-down. I don't know if the suspicion can be based on facts that are not plainly evident at the time of the stop. I'd have to research it.
4. Could a Magistrate Judge authorize a warrant to stop and search the @HouseGOP who have been observed acting suspiciously in light of evidence reported they are illegally armed? Could he/she make the finding that more likely than not they are always committing crimes?

1. The @FBIWFO @TheJusticeDept resources should be directed at the powerful people who conspired to incite the insurrection. Trump, Meadows, Charles Koch, @rupertmurdoch @SenateGOP @HouseGOP who conspired or gave aid and comfort. They all need to be charged with insurrection,
2. seditious conspiracy, advocating overthrow and obstructing Congress. I make the potential sentences at 70 years that should mean they can't make bail. Then push the trials under the speedy trial rule to be commenced in 70 days. Then start the end of their lives. @HawleyMO

1. @FoxNews knowingly incited insurrection. I know of no 1stAm defense to the incitement statute. A jury can decide if they knew or were willfully blind to the fact that they were inciting based on objective lies. Can we charge @rupertmurdoch
2. and Fox News Corps investors who control the board and could remove the management but chose not to? Should a jury decide if they are co-conspirators? Are Fox News Corp.'s personal property assets used in the attack subject to seizure and forfeit? @blackrock @Vanguard_Group

To @TheJusticeDept @antitrust Division: Forcing cable customers in monopolistic markets to subsidize Fox News Corp. OAN and NewsMax when it's easy to unbundle is an unlawful Tying Agreement.

1. If I were part of Trump's Russian conspiracy that Mueller was prevented from fully investigating, the person who Joe Biden put in as Deputy AG would concern me. He was the Asst. AG for the Nat Sec Div April 2014 to Oct. 15, 2016. He likely knows everything.
2. His name is John Carlin. And as acting Deputy AG runs the pointy end of the DOJ spear.
2.Carlin will oversee much of DOJ but IMO key is the Criminal Division. President Biden has appointed a former SDNY prosecutor to head it, Nicholas McQuaid, who also served as a White House lawyer in the Obama administration.

1. I think this is a good list of @SenateGOP in 2022 cycle. I keep it in a word processor file so it's easy to engage GOP first to be judged on Trump vote. @lisamurkowski @SenShelby @JohnBoozman @MarcoRubio @MikeCrapo @ToddYoungIN @GrassleyPress @JerryMoran
3. John Kennedy was in the first vote for Hawley and Cruz but not in the second. They switched him for Scott from FL. I'd be fine waiting to go after Trump with the caveat that time works in favor of Trump calling it a bill of attainder. I think there is an argument that charging

1. President Biden is clear he won't interfere with the Justice Dept. What do you think that means to him when McConnell hears it? Does he think that means he and sedition caucus should sound the all-clear?

The DOJ is currently run by Monty Wilkinson a former DC prosecutor.

3. I don't think McConnell should be surprised if some of his caucus are charged. Career people run the DOJ that has been under Trump's toxic corrupt cloud for that past four years. Fates of @HawleyMO @tedcruz @SenHydeSmith @ScottforFlorida @CynthiaMLummis @RogerMarshallMD

1. The @TheJusticeDept @FBIWFO must focus on whether the actions of members of @SenateGOP @HouseGOP violated the law. If they incited or gave aid and comfort to insurrection, justice demands that they face prosecution. Target letters should be out if the elements of
