THREAD: TRUMP JUST BECAME MORE OF A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT THAN HE ALREADY WAS: As most of us know by know, the trump org was indicted on ten counts yesterday, and the CFO Allen Weisselberg was indicted in 15 counts 1/

Despite what the trump org lawyers and donald's crotch goblins are saying - that all Weisselberg did wrong was that he failed to report a mercedes benz to the IRS - these are serious crimes and include conspiracy, fraud, and falsifying business records. 2/

@kurteichenwald

As @kurteichenwald explains here: an org indictment could mean trump lenders will likely call in their loans early, especially if the org falsified business records as count 12 shows it did. So what does this have to do with NATIONAL SECURITY? 3/

Remember when Sue Gordon - who resigned with Bolton after the Ukraine shadow government (Rudy) and the scheme to extort Zelensky in exchange for an investigation announcement into Biden was discovered - wrote an op ed "Cut Off his Intelligence"? 4/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/sue-g…

Sue Gordon feared what I posited three months before she wrote the op-ed: that donald was broke and would sell our secrets to pay his debts 5/

I took it a step further & believe that trump's burrowed lackeys in our intel agencies were there to collect info - like when trump installed Ellis as the NSA general counsel (the guy who hid the Zelensky conversation in the code word classified server) 6/

Fortunately, Ellis was sidelined the DAY trump left office due to a "security inquiry" into his "mishandling of classified information". YOU DON'T SAY. 7/ washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

With evidence that trump cooked the books, lenders will come knocking, AND the trump org russian money laundering machine means kremlin-backed straw loans will dry up, too. Trump will be desperate for money, and therefore, one of our biggest national security threats END

PS: I would love if @kurteichenwald would come on our show to discuss. Recent guests include Andy McCabe, Mary Trump, Daniel Goldman, Andrew Weissman, and Daniel Alonso - so we’re legit. I’m tweeting this publicly because DMs aren’t open.

@SenateDems

THREAD: regarding the @SenateDems ability to issue subpoenas - apropos of the recent call from @SenatorDurbin and @SenSchumer for Barr and Sessions to testify. The rules for committees issuing subpoenas are a bit dodgy under the power sharing agreement in the senate. 1/

It appears that the only committee than can issue a subpoena without Republican sign off is the Homeland Security & Government Affairs Subcommittee on Investigations. 2/

@ChuckGrassley

Most other committees, including the Senate Judiciary, would require a majority vote OR the sign off of the ranking (Republican) member. The ranking member on the senate judiciary is @ChuckGrassley 3/

I wonder if we could convince a couple of Republican senators (to make up for Manchin and Sinema) to vote to “mini-nuke” the filibuster only for voting rights bills since voter suppression bills prevent some republicans from voting, too. Then pass the JLVRA. 1/

Yes I want to kill the entire filibuster but Manchin and Sinema aren’t going to vote to do anything to the filibuster. And yes I know democratic voters - specifically black voters - are far more disenfranchised by voter suppression bills than Republican voters. 2/

And yes I think we should still keep the pressure on Manchin and Sinema. And yes I know there are other bills we need to pass. And yes I know we 9000 other issues to address. And no, I’m not surprised about Manchin or Sinema. I think that covers most of the replies I’ll get. END

THREAD: the DoJ response states that they are ONLY appealing section two of the Barr memo, but are NOT appealing section one of the memo. The courts memo MAY BE RELEASED in its ENTIRETY. 1/

As I predicted, the DoJ is asking for a stay for section 2: that’s the section regarding the deliberative process privilege. 2/

The DoJ argues that there is a difference between deciding whether to indict the president, or deciding if the evidence would be sufficient to establish a basis to prosecute. They argue section 2 of this memo dealt with the latter and is therefore deliberative. 3/

THREAD: the DoJ may be able to indict trump for obstruction of justice because of Bob Mueller. We just learned that the DoJ under Merrick Garland has reached an agreement on the testimony of Don McGahn. 1/ politico.com/news/2021/05/1…

@tedlieu

We don’t know what the agreement is, but we know it was made without consulting trump, and that he isn’t party to the agreement. Plus, @tedlieu has tweeted that he looks forward to McGahn answering their questions. So it seems there’ll be testimony. 2/

Many are concerned McGahn will simply “not recall” anything, but that will be considerably difficult given the documented depositions taken by Mueller and outlined in his report. Many asked why Mueller bothered with the investigation if he knew he wasn’t going to indict trump 3/

THREAD: time for a trip down memory lane about Barr and his refusal to prosecute the former guy for obstruction in light of Judge Jackson (if you’re nasty) ordering the DoJ to release the “memo” Barr said gave him the authority to make the call. 1/ apnews.com/article/politi…

First, here’s how often I joked about Barr’s “OLC memos” 2/

And that one time I called for Barr’s impeachment. This was the same month I was removed from my job in the federal government. 3/

BREAKING: the judge in the Chauvin case - while discussing a motion for mistrial - said that Maxine Waters' comments about the Chauvin case may give the defense something on appeal to overturn a conviction. It's abhorrent, but not prejudicial, however. Motion denied.

Allow me to clarify. These are the judges words. Not mine. Also, the prosecution argued that the defense's claims are vague and they have no direct evidence that THIS jury is tainted by or even heard the news...

The judge repeated to the defense that he instructed the jury multiple times NOT to listen to the news. The prosecution argued that should satisfy the requirements to deny the motion, which the judge did...
