🍑BREAKING: ⁦Exclusive from ⁦@maddow⁩. Donald Trump’s lawyers have met in person with Fulton County prosecutors in connection with his pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger to “find” votes to falsify 2020 election results. Big step. Image
Another detail. Rachel reminded us of Donald’s unhinged statement from December happened within days of attorneys meeting with Fulton County prosecutors Image
Gwen Keyes Fleming, former DeKalb County DA provides perspective to @maddow. This meeting in context signals that things are moving along. Also says she served with Republicans and Democrats and they would not make decisions based on political affiliation of the defendant. Image
Fleming also said that Donald’s statement lashing out at democratic prosecutors is an attempt to cast doubt and undermine the investigation.

Fantastic speech by @VP Harris

"January 6 reflects the dual nature of Democracy; it's fragility and its strength. The strength of Democracy is the Rule of Law . . .that elections should be free and fair, that corruption should be given no quarter. . .it empowers the people."

1/
"And the fragility of Democracy is this; if we are not vigilant. If we do not defend it, Democracy simply will not stand. It will falter and fail."

2/2
Also, moving, evocative, powerful speech from @POTUS Biden. We will be listening to this again and again in the days and years to come.

Great nations "don't bury the truth, they face up to it. We are a great nation."

I trust Merrick Garland. Words matter to him. He gave us his word.

Here are the key promises and priorities I heard:

"Those involved must be held accountable, and there is no higher priority for us at the Department of Justice."

1/
"Those who assaulted officers or damaged the Capitol face greater charges. Those who conspired with others to obstruct the vote count also face greater charges."

2/
"Overt actors and the evidence they provide can lead us to others who may also have been involved. And that evidence can serve as the foundation for further investigative leads and techniques."

🩸Jury found Elizabeth Holmes guilty on three counts of Wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud (18 U.S.C. 1343 and 1349 respectively).

We cover both offenses in my Corporate & White Collar Crime casebook (and class).

Looks like a bubble. We have been here before. “The only people to walk away unscathed are the big guys. . .If you put your money in Stablecoin, there’s no guarantee you’re going to get it back” — @SenSherrodBrown

And Senator Toomey offers up what sounds like industry talking points. Years from now, when all this comes crashing down, pundits will say “no one saw it coming” and the taxpayer-backed bailouts for the big guys will commence

Our first witness is @alexisgoldstein. Today stablecoins are traded, not used for purchases. Hard to redeem and convert to cash. Have no benefit for financial inclusion. Fees add up if you want to send to a friend or another wallet

Case can go forward against executive licensing officials who may or must take enforcement actions against the petitioners

However, SCOTUS dismissed against the court clerk, the judge, and the Texas Attorney General, and against a private individual defendant.
