BREAKING — Fed court hands a victory to my friend & legal hero ⁦@MarinaMedvin⁩, who is representing J6 defendants very zealously & professionally. The order that the government allow the public to see the tape involving one of her clients, is a First Amendment victory too!
2/There are a few competent and ethical DC-barred attorneys handling J6 cases, and a broader group around the country representing hundreds of citizens arrested that day for various alleged offenses. They each have ethical conflcits @MarinaMedvin is one of the good gals/guys.
3/There's a handful of OTHER attorneys chasing clients but who don't have relevant criminal defense experience and who seem hyper-focused on PR and fundraising, not competent criminal defense. If you are a defendant or family of one, do your homework & ask questions. High stakes.
4/ Another point: @MarinaMedvin is a privately retained lawyer; most of the J6 defs. have public defenders--who play a very important role in our justice system, but they operate with limited resources and let's face it, some of them are not exactly sympatico with these clients.
5/And what I meant to say on pt.2 is a good lawyer can't represent EVERYONE, they have ethical conflicts w/ingroups of defendants charged and must address those according to ethical rules. @MarinaMedvin has taken several cases & has helped refer to competent counsel when she can.

At a rare, in-person meeting of the @CAGOP Executive Committee to decide whether the party should adopt a PROCESS for potential endorsement of a candidate to replace Gavin Newsom as California governor. In that process, one of the options will be a “No Endorsement” vote.
2/ There are supporters of several of the leading Republican candidates in the room. Yesterday, there was a Rules Committee report to approve the form of the rule amendment under discussion.
3/ John Cox is a member of the Executive Committee, who protested this rule outside the state party headquarters yesterday. He didn’t show up to vote against this today.

BREAKING NEWS— 9th Circuit just ruled against Gavin Newsom’s lockdown orders regarding schools, holding that the state deprived parents of five private school students of their rights to control their children’s education when it ordered all schools shut: libertycenter.org/wp-content/upl…
2/ First pages of opinion:
3/ and the court also ruled that the case is NOT moot, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The court ruled against our @Liberty_Ctr clients on the public school claims. We look forward to continuing this fight in the trial court! Important victory for parents and kids!

(Thread 1/4): Joined @CortesSteve and @JennPellegrino on @newsmax this evening - @GavinNewsom’s little band-aid bill is not going to make a difference towards crime. What is going to make a difference is if we stop electing ridiculous prosecutors who refuse to enforce our laws.
(2/4): Just like with #RecallGavinNewsom, billionaire money is funding the wrong side of recall efforts directed at prosecutors like @GeorgeGascon.
(3/4): The racial impact of #CriminalJustice issues is felt most negatively in low income and middle class communities. In San Francisco for example the violent crime wave has disproportionately hit the older Asian immigrant population.

The hearing in the Larry Elder and voter Betty Tom Chu matters (my firm represents the latter) may be seen here:
2/ Judge opens hearing with a tenative ruling that the tax return disclosure requirement doesn't seem to apply to recall elections, and if it did, Larry Elder substantially complied with it.
3/ Elder's lawyer Steve Baric says even if the statute applied, Larry Elder's alleged sin was providing seven pages of COMPLETE documents to the SOS, but those documents were not in the pile of hundreds of pages of redacted documents. He complied with the statute.

(Thread 1/4): With @Varneyco on @FoxBusiness - This political hit job against @POTUS45 is the kind of third world nonsense we see in countries like #Pakistan where former presidents are taken down using petty offenses. Well beneath the dignity of New York prosecutorial offices.
(2/4): #Arizona's voting limits do not violate the voting rights act nor do they hurt minorities. Ballot harvesting hurts every #American equally. The 9th circuit got this one wrong. I am thrilled to see this victory for #Election integrity.
(3/4): #Florida's social media law was struck down in part because of vague language. I found the exceptions for Florida based companies like @Disney and @comcast to be a little dubious. With some more work and wordsmithing this could become a great law.

(Thread 1/4): With @TuckerCarlson on @FoxNews tonight - Our government regularly flouts modern security laws established in 1947 & since. They justify spying on #Americans in the name of targeting foreigners and classifying any #American data they scoop up as “incidental”.
(2/4): Under current law, the @NSAGov can go shopping through a treasure trove of phone company data w/little oversight. Once they have your information, faceless, unelected bureaucrats are free to pass it around the office
(3/4): Even if you can prove you are being spied on, there is no legal recourse. No lawsuits against the @NSAGov have effectively been successful in stopping the spying on a particular #American citizen. Cases can last for over a decade.
