THREAD: Delaware County, PA lawsuit has many more details beyond the whistleblower videos I posted last night. Posting several excerpts until complaint is live.
2/ Here are the videos from last night, to refresh your recollection.
10/ Of note, no federal claims, which easily could have been alleged based on facts alleged of violation of EP, right to vote, and conspiracy to violate constitution. Likely to force the case to stay in the state court system. More lawsplaining tomorrow, but reason
11/11 videos provided yesterday, which were also filed with court as exhibits, is clear. Folks can "get" "It's a felony." Wading through the minutia of 91 pages of a detailed complaint that is more law & violations of election law than incriminating statements loses people.

2/ Jordan lays out at high level all efforts to "get Trump" that has been going on for 10 years. Beginning with Clinton and Steele dossier, and Comey, and impeachment one, impeachment two, Bragg, and Fani Willis.
3/ Jordan notes how Smith brought on same people who ran raid at Mar-a-Lago and Jan. 7. And how Smith ignore procedures, gagged Trump, filed a 165 motion 33 days before the election.
My take from the video is that the officer did not believe the driver would go from reverse to drive and then to step on the gas to hit him. If he thought that was the plan, he would have pulled gun out while she was still reverse OR maybe would have done what Smith suggests. 1/
2/ That's the thing with fluid, split-second, life-and-death decisions law enforcement officers must make. It's easy to say in retrospect, why not move out of the ways so she won't hit you & shoot tires knowing how things ended, but she was driving in reverse when agent
3/ approached from front without gun drawn. Things changed in split second when she put in drive & accelerated at and then hit ICE agent. ICE agent wasn't merely legally justified, but he lacked time to make a different choice, even if earlier he might have made different choice
THREADETTE: Here's the important backstory to this miracle drug so folks don't learn the wrong lesson: The reason this miracle drug came into being is because pharma companies saw a huge payout, with the list price being $300,000. 1/
2/And just so you know, I have skin in the game…flesh of my flesh that skin is.
3/ The miracle of Trifakta has an even more effective next-gen version, Alyftrek, on the right. But even with that $300,000 price tag, drug never would have been but for the CF Foundation dumping millions into research to a small biotech company that would later become Vertex
3/ Here we see what a difference a President (and Secretary of State make): Under Biden State Department's cooperative agreement partner Disinfo Cloud promoted GDI. thefederalist.com/2023/04/11/gov…
THREADETTE: There were several telling exchanges during yesterday's SCOTUS argument in Trump v. Slaughter, but the one that struck me most was the final exchange between Justice Jackson & Slaughter's attorney. Read the full exchange below. 1/
2/ The problem is fundamental! Article I of the Constitution vests in CONGRESS the power to legislate--not unelected bureaucrats! And this ties into a second point: Jackson, Kagan, & Sotomayor all stressed Congress's "reliance interests" in creating "independent" agencies
3/ with the threesome arguing Congress relied limits on President's removal authority in granting agency regulatory authority. Well, there is a much bigger reliance interest at stake!
