THREAD: Breaking. Durham files Motion to Compel Clinton Campaign, DNC, and Fusion GPS to produce material w/h based on "attorney-client" privilege.
2/ In sum, Durham wants the documents w/h identified in appendix to be given to court to decide if privilege. (Reading while tweeting so bear with me). First main argument is that Fusion wasn't retained to help w/ legal advise but to get dirt & that isn't protected.
3/ Ohhh, not sure if this was public before but the white paper re Alfa is included as an exhibit.
4/ Giggle...
5/ I didn't realize this...
6/ LOL Cites Fusion's book as support.
7/ Dang... Exhibit A under seal...
8/ Okay Sleuths...what was this about. AND this makes me even more sus about Joffe's tip to OIG about someone's computer communicating a foreign ip address.
9/ So, Sussmann represented Joffe, but didn't bill him, only Clinton Campaign.
10/ Cute.
11/ While government cites criminal activity exception, Durham doesn't press that argument, but focuses on fact it wasn't legal advise.
OMfrickin' gosh: You HAVE to be kidding me! They opened an investigation based on the alternative electors that election lawyers concluded was the appropriate course based on the precise same situation involving Kennedy and Hawaii!!! 1/
2/ Here is a summary of the need for alternative electors and how to pretend this was a potential crime of fraud is NUTSO: thefederalist.com/2023/05/15/the…
3/ The memo itself makes clear it wasn't fraud! This investigation was for 3 purposes only: To destroy Trump; to destroy anyone connected with Trump; and to dissuade anyone in the future from connecting with Trump or any non-establishment politician.
3/ Here's full panel.
It was 3-0 for the decision. And I was correct when I had earlier said I thought the motions panel had Rovner and St. Eve. Hamilton is as hard left as you can get.
3/ Judge asks what document is President invoking statute?
DOJ: Says don't need any document, but says many documents that show all the reasons for activation in Portland.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump deploys California national guard that is under federal control to Portland & Portland files a second TRO. Court has set hearing for 7 p.m., which should be now. 1/
2/ But that call in says for 10 a.m. hearing...haven't succeeded in getting in.
