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6/ Claimed 5th for whether he talked to April, Manos, or Dagon, or Sussmann; Sussmann no longer represents.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
THREADETTE: ⬇️is my play-by-play of 9th Cir. decision. Top-line: Loss to Trump AND horrible opinion b/c law is clear that "reasonable suspicion" depends on totality of circumstances & yet court prevents ICE from considering totality of circumstances. 1/
2/ District court had actually allowed for that by including "expected as permitted by law," which the 9th Cir. struck. 9th Cir. THEN, after saying ICE could consider other circumstances, actually altered injunction's language of "presence at a particular location"
3/ THIS is what 9th Cir. said was enjoined: that "whether that be a random location . . . or a location selected 'because past experiences have demonstrated that illegal aliens utilize or seek work at these locations, . . ." That ADDED a limitation of a circumstance ICE CAN consider in totality of the circumstances.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: 9th Cir. denies Trump Administration stay regarding district court's efforts to micromanage ICE "except as to a single clause" but that single clause is what allowed ICE to do it's job! Still reading so clarity to follow. 1/
2/ As I noted before one of the problems with the court's injunction is that you can't enjoin a situation where the situation depends on all of the facts and circumstances, for instance, if a voluntary encounter which needs no reasonable suspicion.
3/ On that point: That is exactly what the training is. You can see from this language the specific details needed to know whether there is or isn't reasonable suspicion.
🧵I wanted to re-read a section of Brennan's testimony to HPSCI and ended up re-reading the entire thing. There's a whole lot of lying going on!
2/ Holy crap! Brennan says there were "two" products produced--but there were three and the third one was the only one that included referenced to the Steele dossier and other fake intel!
Also, I've gotten the question of is Trump going to SCOTUS? I thought they would because d.ct.'s ruling was sooooo nutso, but the appellate court stayed the lower court's holding IJ had to give him a hearing on avoiding removal on alternative grounds. 1/
2/ IJ held removable for lying on visa application and Khalil sought a hearing on whether IJ should waive that based on loving husband/father. New Jersey judge said IJ had to give hearing on that argument. Appellate court stayed that. So he is still removable based on that.
3/ I think Trump Administration decided it wasn't worth rushing & seeking SCOTUS involvement because SCOTUS wouldn't see a "rush" risk b/c alternative basis allows it to percolate for some time. Given timing & desire to not push too much, I get it.
🔥Below is play-by-play 🧵of quick once-over of Appendix. My big picture take-away is this: The details reveal how corrupt the investigation into Trump was! They opened Crossfire Hurricane on the Presidential candidate with nothing, continued it with that nothing disproven AND 1/
2/ continued it during President's first term with more nothings and evidence that it was all fake. I care more about that fact and fact that Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Mueller, and more conspired to further hoax, along with media than that they ignored Clinton plan.
3/ This new evidence is damning of FBI's failure to investigate Lynch, Clinton, and others, and that's bad. But what's worse is what they did--target Trump to destroy his candidacy and then his presidency. It's also damning on Think Tanks & legacy media's involvement.
