So who are the attorney's that Michael Sussmann has gathered for his defense team?
3 have filed appearances with the court.
Natalie Hardwick Rao, Michael Bosworth, & Sean Berkowitz all from the firm Latham & Watkins courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
Natalie Hardwick Rao started with the CIA for 2 years as a military analyst after graduating from Duke University. Then attended law school & has been an Associate with L&W since 2010.
Michael Bosworth joined Latham & Watkins as a Partner in July 2020.
Clerked for a Federal District Judge, Appeals Court Judge & a Supreme Court Justice. Also spent a lot of time at SDNY with DOJ.
Then it gets interesting...
7 months as Special Counsel to FBI Director Comey...
Followed by 2 1/2 years as a Deputy Counsel to President Obama...
Followed by 7 months at NYU Law & into private practice...
The NYU appointment is interesting because 3 Obama Admin officials joined the staff that Spring.
Michael Bosworth, Lisa Monaco (former AAG for National Security & now DAG), & Preet Bhara.
Interesting group going to NYU...
Also interesting because I found a strange FOIA request from a lawyer at NYU's Brennan Center.
A FOIA request on 04/18/17 to DISA for records related to SCIF's at Trump Tower & Mar-A-Lago.
DISA runs all US classified computer networks.
Haven't had time to dig on Sean Berkowitz, but he used to work in the DOJ office for Northern District of Illinois, covering the Chigago Swamp.
He also worked the Enron case with Lisa Monaco, Kathryn Ruemmler, & Andrew Weissmann lw.com/people/sean-be…
Then after he retired fro DOJ following his work on the Mueller Special Counsel team, Andrew Weissmann also joined NYU... law.nyu.edu/news/andrew-we…

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels...
The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…
If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
The term Narco-terrorism has been in use for decades.
Trump's new EO is based on western hemisphere drug cartels converging with hostile governments & other terrorists. Including efforts to control Swamps in countries vital to us.

Trump also includes TdA & MS-13 within the scope of this order. If you're not aware, El Chapo reportedly hired MS-13 to assassinate Donald Trump before he ran for President the 1st time.
Likely in retaliation for Trump helping FBI identify El Chapo's money laundering networks.
Trump has not designated these cartels terrorist organizations, but is ordering the Secretary of State in consultation with Treasury, AG, DHS, & DNI to draw up the list with all cartels that meet the definition within 14 days.
So either he was batshit crazy or the person who fake this email wanted to make him look batshit crazy.
It is possible that they want to use this incident to trick people into thinking their batshit crazy ideas were shared by Livelsberger.
This press conference is discussing a completely different email. But it has been used to convince people, including myself that it was referring to the email in these threads.
