THREAD BREAKING: Sussmann's attorney's aren't happy with Durham. Filed today.
2/ Just posting pages here and then will comment:
3/ continued:
4/ Now this is interesting. So if none of the data was after Trump was president, why was it provided to show Trump was using a Russian phone? Because Trump was at the Executive Office? This footnote makes no sense.
5/ Oh, poor Sussmann. You spread lies about Trump for 5 years and now Trump exposes you...🎻🎻
6/ I don't think this tack, however, is the wisest...."Oh, we didn't charge you with conspiracy, did we..."
7/ OMgosh...so the campaign is claiming Sussmann did not go to FBI on behalf of Hillary Clinton campaign. Now, this is getting good.
8/ It wouldn't surprise me if the court is inclined to grant the motion and caution Durham not to file additional detail. Although the Durham will have a chance to respond to the Motion to Strike, which should be interesting.
9/9 The biggest take-away, however is this: The press has starting covering this in a way it hasn't before and that is huge! Sussmann's chronies had no issue leaking to the NYT in September re the EOP, but now that they can't control the narrative, Shut. It. Down.
Post-Twit: I must admit I'm bummed they didn't single out my two articles in their motion, but then again, they were so solid & devasting they likely didn't want to bring any more attention to them.
Post-Twit 2: Also, from strategy angle, this wasn't wise b/c now the press is going to cover it MORE. Had Sussmann stayed silent, it would have likely died down in a day. UNLESS he succeeds in getting court to tell Durham to cut it out.
Post-Twit 3: Okay I should have just waited until I knew I was done. From the indictment. So here's Sussmann's defense. Sussmann's attorne to Clinton Campaign Person: Did you tell Sussmann to go to FBI w/ this info.
Answer: No. Closing: "He may have defrauded the campaign
PT4: but he didn't lie to Baker.
Durham's Cross: Did you authorize Sussmann to go to the press with this story? Did you authorize Sussman to do X, Y, Z. This defense is going to open up a huge can of worms for Clinton Campaign!

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump scores another SCOTUS victory in Birthright Citizenship Case (NOT ON MERITS) but on whether a universal injunction is permitted. HUGELY significant in every case with universal injunctions. 1/ Reading now. Analysis to follow Image
2/ SCOTUS punts on whether universal relief is necessary in the lawsuit brought by state given the difficulty in providing the states full relief, leaving that to lower court. This punt though doesn't change significance of case before here & in every other case against Trump. Image

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Judge Breyer wades in again re Trump's federalizing of California National Guard in case Newsom brought. Image
2/ Judge rejects Trump's argument that there cannot be a Posse Comitatus claim given 9th Cir. ruling that Trump could federalize national guard. Judge rejects Trump's request to transfer case to L.A. arguing public interest is to keep with him since he's already up on case.
3/ Court grants expedited discovery on issues related to what troops are doing for purpose of Posse Comitatus claim. So rulings all in favor of Newsom and kicking merits on Posse Comitatus out a month until discovery ends.

🚨SCOTUS delivered Trump another victory earlier today while I was shopping with DS. This case concerned the removal of illegal aliens ordered removed to third countries, with SCOTUS staying injunction barring such removal. 1/
2/ Dissent again rests on not liking what Trump did and ignoring numerous jurisdictional issues. supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…
3/ Beyond resolving issue of aliens in limbo in South Sudan, SCOTUS decision gives Trump & DHS ability to push more forcefully for voluntarily removals.

🚨LIVE COVERAGE here of Preliminary Injunction hearing before Judge Breyer on Newsom's lawsuit to commander National Guard from Trump. Trump Administration had requested stay of proceedings pending 9th Cir. decision but Breyer refused. 1/
2/ Breyer claimed facts on ground and changes would be relevant to PI hearing. Watch for him to sidestep 9th Cir. slap down by framing changes on ground as so substantial that no matter how much deference Trump gets he couldn't federalize troops.
3/ Hearing was suppose to start at 10 PT. Hasn't started yet. Here's link as DH has me picking up a plumbing part so I might not be able to cover depending on when it starts. (At least it's at an old hardware store which has new old stock--which I love--not Lowe/Home Depot.

🔥🔥🔥Grassley letter reviews FBI ordered records destroyed in September 2020. This does NOT conform to records preservation requirements...you know thing FBI raided Mar-a-Lago for! 1/ Image
3/ Still trying to put puzzle together but letter of 5/5 provides solid hints. It'd seem that the destroyed record was related to Biden-Ukraine corruption & to fake briefing Dems had FBI do to falsely frame Grassley & Johnson as peddling Russian disinfo. grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
