THREAD re Joffe's Deposition h/t @FOOL_NELSON@RyanM58699717 1/ While Joffe's claims at time of deposition he expects investigation will be over in a few weeks, apparently they said the same thing several months ago.
2/ Joffe refused to be interviewed and has not testified before the grand jury.
3/ And asked to interview him about a year ago. (the dep is from 2/11.
4/ Also subpoeaned b/f grand jury and invoked the 5th and for documents sought.
4/ Subpoena came after request for interview, but unclear how long after. Also, apparently some "memory issues" Joffe is claiming.
5/ (Sorry two 4's there.). Strange that Joffe claims A/P re business ownership? @McAdooGordon any thoughts?
6/ Claimed 5th for whether he talked to April, Manos, or Dagon, or Sussmann; Sussmann no longer represents. Joffe no longer affiliated w/ Neustar which TransUnion acquired (Joffe retired 9/19). Joffe claimed 5th on names of those at Neustar worked with him re DNS.
7/ Joffe pled 5th re whether experted in DNS data and what access he had to DNS data.
8/ Pled 5th on names. But strangely not Centerline?
9/ Interesting since he used that email. Later acknowledge it but seems to setting up point that just b/c an email uses the centergate domain doesn't mean it comes from him. Also refuses to admit he uses another email:
10/ Interesting:
11/ So more names on off list. Refuses to say if he worked with GA Tech or provided DNS
11/ Several more names mentioned some 5th other no. Refuses to discuss any work re DNS and also re policies re sharing data.
12/ (Dang I need to learn to count). Interesting another data exchange mention that's not Ops-Trust
13/ Interesting where they think April got data:
14/ Alfa's attorney then asked wheren Neustar shares DNS data and Joffe discuss 3 situations. Second (re customers) had no details provided. And pleaded 5th on company giving to researchers but then gave some texture.
15/ List of names now w/ does he know or pleds the 5th. Interesting he didn't plead 5th on Vixie since Vixie allegedly review report per reporting? Took 5th on Simpson, Sussman, Fritsch, Fusion, Seagos (Fusion employee), Perkins, Elias, didn't know: Jake Berkowitz or Baumgarten
2/ Trump Admin. prior comments indicated they would secure Strait of Hormuz & possibly take over Kharg Island to get oil moving. Last night, Trump indicated we will lead efforts to open Strait but those impacted need to join fight. Now, this may be misdirection to attack Kharg,
3/ Or Trump decided, we're not going to risk Americans' lives to do either if those in need of that oil won't step up. But we will continue the much safer bombing which will eventually (which he suggested may be about 3 weeks), lead to Strait opening b/c Iran is on last legs
4/ of weapons & leaders. Trump may well have thought Iran would be Venezuela & he'd be done within days or a few weeks, but he's making clear we will continue bombing until morale improves. He's betting on short-term pain being greatly overset by Iran's full destruction.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: @realDailyWire and @FDRLST scored a victory in their lawsuit against the State Department, filing today a Joint Motion for Entry of a Consent Decree. I was thrilled to lead this litigation with the @NCLAlegal team! 1/
3/ Un.Frickin.Real. Judge orders Trump Administration to fly folks with no right to be in America, to America. If they had a right to be here, they could go to the embassy and get a visa to enter.
