And the Senate Intel @MarkWarner made criminal referrals regarding Prince, #Bannon, Clovis, Trump Jr, and Kushner for lying to congress, but as with the House referral on Prince, Barr did nothing. Time for @TheJusticeDept to address these crimes. 2/ nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
If @TheJusticeDept@HouseIntel and the SSCI fail to prosecute these crimes that strike at the HEART of the rule of law, then they are complicit in not only the crimes, but the consequences of allowing them to go unpunished. #Crime#Accountability#RuleOfLaw /END
THREAD: allow me to play devil’s attorney for a moment even though I am definitely not an attorney nor am I probably not the devil. Let’s say I’m Bannon’s lawyer (barf sound), and let’s say the house began the process to refer my client for criminal contempt today. 1/
And let’s say for argument’s sake, somehow the house were magically able to draft a resolution to refer for criminal contempt, take a full vote to pass it, and draft and submit the prosecution referral to the DoJ today. 2/
Then let’s say the DoJ agrees and is able to get it in front of a grand jury and indict Bannon for criminal contempt tomorrow. I would then draft a motion to dismiss the case based on the fact that - at the time of the referral - Bannon had not yet violated the subpoena. 3/
SCHIFF ON MUELLER when asked if he regrets that Mueller ran the investigation, or just that he testified: “My regret is in forcing [Mueller] to testify … he wasn’t able to bring the report to life … he simply wasn’t the same man that I knew from years earlier… 1/
“I think he led a brilliant investigation- he’s a man of incredible integrity… and in very much the same way trump thinks everyone is like him - that everyone lies like he does, that everyone is corrupt like he is… 2/
“”… Mueller, being this man of unquestioned integrity, presumes of others that they share the same devotion to truth, and I think he must have been astonished that Barr would so betray his work - would lie to the American people about what was in his report repeatedly. 3/
NEW: Greenberg is asking to push his sentencing to March 2022. Given this, Gaetz’ new trial lawyer team, the straw candidate guilty plea, and the Alford indictment; it’s clear to me that Matt Gaetz is in trouble, and for a lot more than the sex trafficking a minor charge.
Gaetz’ trial lawyer team: Matty recently hired three high-powered, out-of-town trial lawyers indicating he thinks he’ll be going to trial. thedailybeast.com/what-matt-gaet…
The straw candidate pled guilty: Rodriguez, who accepted an illegal $44K contribution to run as a straw candidate in a sham election scheme in Florida recently pled guilty: right after Greeneberg extended his sentencing the first time. nbcmiami.com/news/local/gho…
THREAD: If there are any LGBTQ folks that were discharged under other than honorable conditions for sexual orientation, and you're curious about what benefits you may now be entitled to under Biden's new plan, I'm here to help. Here's a small list. 1/ militarytimes.com/veterans/2021/…
If you are disabled, either physically or mentally because of something that happened to you in the military - which may include your shitty discharge - you could be eligible for monthly VA disability compensation. Here's how to get it... 2/
Contact your local veteran service organization (like the VFW). They have representatives that can help you file your claim. It can take a few months, but it's worth it. You can be awarded anywhere from $145 to $3400 per month. 3/ va.gov/disability/com…
