Hi, @eliehonig,

I think you might have missed the indictment from March 8.

justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/lea…

"Although Tarrio is not accused of physically taking part in the breach of the Capitol, the indictment alleges that he led the advance planning . . .

1/
. . . and remained in contact with other members of the Proud Boys during their breach of the Capitol."

They also got a guilty plea from Joshua James for seditious conspiracy, which is not really ground level, right?

2/
Joshua James is cooperating with prosecutors, and he had direct contact with Roger Stone (on Jan. 6!!)

They also got the founder of the Oath Keepers. Also not ground level. justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-…

He was involved in leadership and planning meetings.
3/
There are some of us who think that taking down the leader and founder of a white power militia is a big deal, particularly a militia that stormed the Capitol and did a lot of damage.

He directed people in (and coordinated with one of the "stacks") but didn't go in himself.

4/

(Thread) Merrick Garland and Rule of Law

npr.org/2022/03/10/108…
This morning, Garland said the J6 investigation won't end until everyone is held accountable. (h/t @NastyOldWomyn)

It's basically what he said on Jan. 5.

This thread is so I don't have to keep repeating myself.
I'll address what Snyder calls Internet Memes and what I've called "rage-inducing simplifications." What's that? See terikanefield.com/rage-inducing-…

Screenshots #1 and 2 are some of what he said on Jan 5.

Today he said a bit more. npr.org/2022/03/10/108…

1/ ImageImage
npr.org/2022/03/10/108……

He said this investigation is the most "urgent in the history of the DOJ" (but the DOJ is still doing lots of other things.) #1

He was basically asked whether he would "shy away" from something so explosive as charging Trump himself . . . #2

The Eastman v. Jan. 6 committee saga continues.

We have another ruling: politico.com/f/?id=0000017f…

(Spoiler: It isn't good for Eastman.)

Brief recap:

🔹The J6 committee wants Eastman's emails.
🔹Eastman tried to withhold some claiming attorney-client privilege . . .

1/
(Basically, this means that Eastman is claiming that the committee can’t have these particular emails because they are privileged communication between him and his client, Donald Trump.)

He also claims work-product (privileged because written in anticipation of litigation)

2/
The committee responded by invoking the crime-fraud exception, which says there is no attorney-client privilege over legal advice was given in furtherance of illegal or fraudulent activity.

They also said no, these were not in anticipation of litigation. . .

The US thinks Russia may use chemical weapons and blame it on Ukraine as a false flag.

This⤵️is the raincoat solution: The way to inoculate the public against a firehose of lies is to put raincoats on the population.

(Refuting a lie afterward is never completely effective.)
Now everyone is waiting for the lie, and the refutation comes in advance.

It takes away the liar's advantage of first impression.

(For more on this, I'll attach a study in the next tweet.)

Here's the study: rand.org/pubs/perspecti……

The refutation proceeds the lie, which gives the refutation the advantage of first impression.

It might also work as a deterrent because Putin hates to be predictable.

Dear people who say, "There is so much evidence! Why hasn't XX been indicted?"

Explaining how the rules of evidence work and that these cases are more complicated than they appear doesn't do much.

Twitter insists. But we SEE the evidence!

So how about if I tell a story?

1/ Image
This is the story of a young (and arrogant) federal prosecutor who was absolutely sure he had a case against my client.

Indeed, the case looked airtight.

My client was caught red-handed with illegal drugs. Plus she confessed.

You can't do better than that, right?

2/
Turns out that the prosecutor didn’t get all the facts.

The facts: My client was sleeping in the backseat of a truck. In the back were illegal drugs.

The truck driver was her boyfriend. He was also married (but obviously not to her.)

For International Women’s Day, I want to tell you about Barbara Johns.

What?!

You don’t know who she was?

April 23, 1951, in Farmville, VA, she led a walkout of her segregated high school to protest the unfair and deplorable conditions of her school.

1/
After she and her classmates turned the rural town of Farmville upside down, she called in the NAACP.

The NAACP took their case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Their case was combined with cases from other states.
history.com/topics/black-h…

2/
The case was called Brown v. Board of Education the landmark case that ended segregation in America.

She led her walkout more than 4 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus, and before MLK, Jr. embraced nonviolence as the way to equality.

Well. We have three more court filings in the John Eastman-Trump-J6 saga.

Shall we read them together? 🤓

Bottom line: Eastman is in trouble. And he's not happy.

Background: The Eastman-Jan. 6 committee saga left off with
🔹Eastman is trying to keep certain emails from J-6 by claiming executive privilege

(Eastman says you can't have them because they are privileged communication between me and my client Trump.)

2/
🔹J-6 invoked the crime-fraud exception (there is no executive privilege over legal advice was given in furtherance of illegal or fraudulent activity).

The way this works is the court looks at the communications to see if the lawyer was offering help in committing a crime.
