1/BREAKING NEWS:

"Duckie" never tried it. "Alan Harper" couldn't afford it. And "Lex Luthor" has other resources at his command.

But @MrJonCryer is now suing @USNatArchives under #FOIA for @FBI records concerning his uncle!
2/His uncle #PeterNivenKiger was staff member w/#WarResistersLeague. He refused to register for Viet Nam draft & sent to federal prison for one year. He continued protesting & refusing to register & was imprisoned on other occasions. He died Aug 19, 2019.

3/#WarResistersLeague was founded in 1923 & is oldest secular pacifist organization in US. It was subject of @FBI surveillance including as part of COINTELPRO.

4/Additional information concerning #WarResistersLeague can be found at warresisters.org/wrl-history
5/We learned of three @FBI files created during 1965-1973 by its offices at HQ, Phila & NYC abt #PeterNivenKiger that total nearly 700 pages.

But @USNatArchives said it would take 39 months to process!!! That's just not acceptable.
FINAL/#FOIA system has many issues but so great to be able to help someone learn info abt their family member that they might never have known abt.

Hey @USNatArchives/@FBI, #LexLuthor is coming for ya!

1/Let me explain why we should not use term #HavanaSyndrome to describe #UnidentifiedHealthIncidents (UHI).

I have been working these cases for nearly a decade. I rep victims from @StateDept, @DeptofDefense, @CommerceGov & @CIA.

Using Havana Syndrome undermines our efforts.
2/First, I get it. Media likes a simple term to fit all examples. They don't know how else to describe what has been happening.

Respectfully, not a good enough reason.
3/These cases started LONG before Havana, Cuba in 2016. Evidence exists tracking back these symptoms & incidents 50 years. My first client #MichaelBeck, @NSAGov employee, was impacted in 1996.

1/Impt work by @WSJ showing depth of financial conflicts among fed judges. This is not new as 20 years ago my client ABPnews.com (now defunct) sought to annually create online access to these disclosure filings, something still missing.

wsj.com/articles/dozen…
2/We literally sued every sitting Fed judge to obtain access to their then current financial disclosure records. Many, not surprisingly, were unhappy with our legal efforts. The @WSJ article shows why.

cnet.com/tech/services-…
3/It was an unprecedented lawsuit that needed to be filed. These records should ALWAYS be available online, so long as proper security exists to protect safety of judges & their families (i.e., delete identifying info that could be used to dox).

1/#Trump suffers major loss in arbitration against #Omarosa for 2018 book w/ruling that NDAs are enforceable under NY law as "vague and indefinite". I litigated Trump NDA cases & these were nothing but aggressive attempts to intimidate frmr employees.

nytimes.com/2021/09/28/us/…
2/Notably, we now learn that #Trump withdrew all his claims abt #Omarosa's time in White House. In 2018, I wrote in @PostOpinions that these NDAs were unconstitutional in those circumstances.

washingtonpost.com/news/postevery…
3/Trump & his Administration repeatedly crossed the line trying to illegally silence former federal employees, as I wrote in 2019 when I was representing a former senior WH staffer fighting Trump's aggressive efforts.

BREAKING NEWS:

We rep @DHSgov #whistleblower #BrianMurphy. @January6thCmte hired #JosephMaher who allegedly unlawfully retaliated against him.

More impt, Maher is FACT witness for 1/6 event. He helped shut down DHS monitoring of domestic extremists who led coup attempt. Why?
#Maher was recently detailed to @January6thCmte from @DHSgov, where he is a top attny. He replaced our client as Acting Undersecretary of Intelligence & Analysis in 8/20. I&A is part of Intelligence Community & mission is to monitor homeland for threats

tribdem.com/news/jan-6-pan…
3/We are floored that @January6thCmte hired #Maher as senior staffer. Would 1945 Joint Committee of Congress investigating Pearl Harbor bombing have hired the Base Commander as part of its staff? Of course not!

Then why has Committee hired someone they should be investigating?
