Noteworthy how police and cooperative media orgs deploy the word “homeowner.” Property-holding doesn’t seem relevant, and there’s no way Reuters confirmed it—they don’t even have the guy’s name. Who’s to say unnamed protesters who were his victims don’t own homes?

The report also indicates police have searched his residence—a second floor unit of an apartment complex, where he lives with a roommate.

The letter from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that urges investigations of parents of trans children attaches a legal opinion signed by Texas AG Ken Paxton that analogizes consenting to gender reassignment procedures for one’s minor child to Munchausen by proxy. gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/… Image
This isn’t some stray reference in a larger discussion. It’s the core argument of the Paxton opinion for treating parental consent to gender reassignment procedures as criminally culpable, and the authors return to it repeatedly.

But the analogy obviously doesn’t work. Image
Munchausen by proxy is an old term for a disorder that manifests in the *intentional falsification* of physical or mental signs and symptoms to deceive medical professionals and obtain unnecessary medical treatment. Intentional deception is at the core of the disorder.

A NY state court hearing is kicking off on the NYAG's motion to compel testimony from former president Trump, Don Jr., and Ivanka, who've all moved to quash their subpoenas.

Streaming here: wowza.nycourts.gov/VirtualCourt/n… (pw 7349)
Trump Sr. is represented at the hearing by Alina Habba, a litigator with offices in Bedminster, NJ. Alan Futerfas is representing the adult Trump children; he previously repped Don Jr. before the Mueller investigation, as well as (a long time ago) a number of NY mafia figures.
Futerfas is monopolizing the beginning of the hearing to push the idea that the NYAG's investigation should be treated as a criminal matter, even though the AG's office has no criminal jurisdiction, because (he says) they're openly working hand-in-glove with the Manhattan DA.

News - Mazars has effectively fired the Trump Organization, citing a non-waivable conflict, and determined that Trump's financial statements from 2011-20 should not be relied on, per a letter to Alan Garten filed in court today.
The rest of the letter
I apologize for not including in my initial tweet the cryptic reference to missing information about "the Matt Calimari Jr. apartment" which Donald Bender apparently cannot get for love or money. It's amazing stuff, obv.

BuzzFeed has obtained through FOIA newly unredacted sections of the Mueller report that show the Special Counsel considered and rejected the idea of charging Donald Trump Jr. and Roger Stone with computer crimes. buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
The SCO also looked at charging J.D. Gordon for changing the Republican platform to weaken the language on supporting Ukraine—a live issue back in 2016 as much as today because that war has been going on so long—but the prosecutors decided they couldn’t prove Russian influence.
Reporting has long been that J.D. Gordon told people the direction to change the language came directly from Trump. npr.org/2017/12/04/568…

“Two individuals were arrested this morning in Manhattan for an alleged conspiracy to launder cryptocurrency that was stolen during the 2016 hack of Bitfinex, … valued at approximately $4.5 billion. Thus far, law enforcement has seized over $3.6 billion.” justice.gov/opa/pr/two-arr…
That’s just …. a lot of money for one law enforcement action.

Like, how many surveillance vans will they buy?
DAG Lisa Monaco says it’s “the department’s largest financial seizure ever.”
