THREAD: Will Weisselberg and the trumps face federal tax charges? So this is fun... remember when the post office boat cops arrested bannon and friends on their yacht for defrauding donors in their scheme to build the wall? 1/

Fun fact, that boat was partially owned by Guo Wengui who bankrolled GETTR which was immediately hacked and is stupid, and he was also targeted by Broidy and a guy from the Fugees in their crimes, but I digress... 2/

ANYHOW, one of the guys arrested on the yacht was indicted on federal tax charges and wire fraud (did you know if you lie on your taxes and e-file them, that's wire fraud?) His name is Kolfage and he faces up to 20 years for this (so like 3 years). 3/

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/

@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/
