9/ LOL
Me two weeks ago:
Special Counsel's Office Today:
...wait for it...
10/ You knew it was coming . . .
11/ Next portion of brief argues it is premature to decide materiality now b/c that is typically a jury question. Durham's team then notes that all of Sussmann's case law involved challenges to materiality after case presented at trial or even post-conviction.
12/ Durham's team then distinguishes all of that case law before noting that even under Sussmann's argument the lie impacted decision to open investigate:
13/ Yup. As I said...visualize GIF
14/ As I also said, if this was "part of job" and norm, why are they using Sussmann to go to FBI instead of the tech folks or Joffe doing directly!
15/ This point about Joffe using Sussmann to go to FBI/CIA applies equally to him using Sussmann to go to DOJ IG. WHY? And there Sussmann said on behal of an anon client? WHY? You'd want DOJ IG to know it was someone w/ connections who was reliable, wouldn't you?
22/ In sum, Motion to Dismiss will be denied. This response not only devastated Sussmann's brief but also exposed the Sussmann Cheering Squard that launched the "no materaility" chant in unison when the indictment broke as clowns. I'm looking at you @lawfareblog
23/ Other than that, nothing knew BUT this "among the Internet data" reminds me that there was more targetted. It came up in another filing or media piece but can't remember what that was so I'll have to dig that up.
24/24 And the stressing that Joffe went to FBI before so why not know I think shows the DOJ IG is more significant than I thought. ...and I thought it was pretty big....digging more there. END

Liz Murrill is Rep. AG in LA. After she pointed out New Orleans officials were violating state criminal law, local officials indicted her & set $400,000 bail bond. Yet another example of big city Dems in red state using rigged grand jury system to target Republicans. 1/
2/ Fortunately, the Louisiana Supreme Court stepped in to stop this farce. It took them less than 24 hours.
THREADETTE: SCOTUS issued opinion today in case where group representing immigration judges sought to challenge in federal court rule that they had to get a supervisor's approval before speaking re immigration issues. 1/
2/ The full opinion (which is short) and Justice Thomas's concurrence are must-reads because IMNSHO they are SCOTUS first group slap to rouge judges. supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf…
🔥Pending before SCOTUS right now is petition for cert in what is one of most consequential constitutional cases related to liberty in the form of a free-market. And yet, few have taken notice of the case. In short, EPA decided who to give market share to based on "equity." 1/
@NCLAlegal 3/3 Here is the docket for those interested. It is truly appalling unelected bureaucrats are deciding whose business to kill--including taking their market share to give to so-called disadvantaged folks who never built business w/ sweat equity.
