THEAD But also this: Reviewing now.
2/ It is up at courtlistener too: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ Snicker:
4/ For non-lawyers this is the standard:
5/ Bam. Or as I said at the time:
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?
16/ If you aren't up on the IG angle, read her: thefederalist.com/2022/01/31/spe…
17/ Great point here:
18/ Pass the popcorn please..
19/ No, this isn't overreach Durham explain:
20/ And yes, the comparison to an ex i absurd!
21/ This should leave a mark:
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

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.

2/ This is SO nuts: U.S. does not have custody of the aliens, so to allow them to bring a "habeas" case makes no sense! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
