1. Oath Keepers conspiracy indictment filed in DC on 1/27 alleges proof going back to November 3, 2020, that establishes a conspiracy to simply interfere with the vote in Congress. The crime gets up to 20 years in prison.
2. This is the allegation. IMO every member of @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP who voted to support after the attack can be charged. But how many who knew of the plan and didn't report it?
3. At a minimum they have committed misprision of felony and perhaps a misprision of treason.
Think GOP members used a computer or a cell phone that once had proof of agreement on it? Who thinks there's a cloud back up file somewhere
4. with proof of each of these members' prior knowledge and/or agreement to the attack? I do.
Do you think they can delete backups of cloud servers? I don't. How about voice mail? Biggest job growth in DC > white collar crime defense attorneys. #ETTD@GOPLeader@LeaderMcConnell
1. If the @SenateGOP think that simply turning blind eyes to Trump's high crimes will make them go away they're likely to be disappointed. First, if they fail to convict & ban Trump from future political office, IMO it's likely Trump & members are indicted soon after the verdict.
2. The members who are most likely to be charged with Trump are @HawleyMO and @SenTedCruz. I expect that the @FBIWFO already has their electronic communications with Trump and his conspirators related to the attack on the Capitol.
1. I think it was 1982 when I sold the @NFL on staying in Honolulu for the #ProBowl. I had lunch with the three hall of fame inductees who made up the committee tasked with the decision. I pitched that they can take their families anywhere on the mainland but Waikiki was special.
2. Plus unspoken was the fact that for the most part, Hawaii is free from the kind of endemic racism that was common in 1982. Mixed ethnicity couples were common in Hawaii. Not so much on the Mainland back then. For single players it was a wonderland.
3. Plus winter golf. Perfect summer weather in February and golf courses galore. And the way they did it with the winners getting something like $30k and the losers $15k was just enough incentive to have decent game after the Superbowl. They said the extra $15 helped pay their
1. If baffles me that with so many attorneys on Twitter none spot the issue. Trump's entire team quits ten days before one of the historic trials of all time. That only happens under one circumstance that I know. DC applies version of the ABA Model rules of Professional Conduct.
2. Rule 1.16 Declining or Terminating Representation is the starting point in the analysis.
3. Rule 1.16 comment makes withawal mandatory as follows:
[2] A lawyer ordinarily must decline or withdraw from representation if the client demands that the lawyer engage in conduct that is illegal or violates the Rules of Professional Conduct or other law. . .
1. My best analysis on situation in Syria. Terrorist forces backed by Turkey, Iran, Assad Regime, DPRK and Daesh have joined forces to test @JoeBiden's resolve and move to complete the betrayal of our Syrian allies begun under Erdogan's business associate Donald Trump.
2. Hasaka is the key to AANES and with Qamishli has remained the brutal terrorist affiliated Assad regime's hold in AANES. Russia continues to move forces into the area because it believes the Biden administration is too busy with the domestic mess left by Putin's puppet.
3. North Korea continues to move into Syria to supply materials for the production of chemical weapons and ballistic missiles and with Iran and Russia prop up the Assad regime. Geneva has promised fair and free elections that Assad cannot win. He can only survive with
1. I missed @maddow today and just watched the interview with @jrpsaki. She made a pronouncement in the @StateDept presser 2014 that changed my life. She announced the #YPG#YPJ were not considered listed within #PKK#FTO designation and the next day, I went to war against #ISIS.
2. I knew they would win. But they needed our help then and they need it now. Too many times we have betrayed the #Kurds and it's more than Kurds in the new #Syria in #NES we will betray. #Sunni#Arabs, #Christians & #Ezidi can create #peace with the #Alawi with strong US support
3. the extortion practiced by #Assad will become meaningless. People are tired of ##war and #Turkey-backed #Islamists have got to go. Assad and the Russians can't do it because Assad represents an existential threat to Sunni #Druze, Kurds, Ezidi and #Christian#Syrians.
1. FACT: Donald Trump is the leader of a violent terrorist organization committed to the destruction of the US Constitution and Government. @GOP under McConnel and McCarthy is simply an affiliate of a terrorist organization. Shun all GOP. They are all complicit.
2. The few decent GOP in Congress like @MittRomney@lisamurkowski@RepLizCheney@SenatorCollins must leave the party to become independents or admit they're complicit terrorist affiliates. Nobody gets a pass. The net is about to drop and many GOP in Congress are about to be
3. indicted.
Because branding is everything, they might consider forming the #RealGOP and take back control of their own brand.
Trump will soon be indicted for sedition, inciting insurrection, advocating overthrow, fraud, obstruction, election crimes and the Mann Act.
