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.
The Maryland Father's attorneys sure seemed to be playing fast and loose with the facts!
2/ Garcia: "I won't plead guilty unless you deport me to Costa Rica."
DOJ: "Well, if you insist."
Garcia: "Judge you must dismiss this case because they are forcing me to plead guilty."
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Another Trump win on appeal with D.C. Circuit vacating preliminary injunction. Order isn't loading yet so details to follow. 1/
2/ Here's what the case is about:
3/ And this isn't one of the cases where things were stayed, meaning this decision now frees the Trump Administration to get back to work. The court had originally stayed a portion of the injunction, allowing Trump to fire folks but then Plaintiffs claimed Trump didn't make individualized assessment so Court of Appeals decided it wasn't going to get into that morass and just said Trump can't fire anyone (it shouldn't have and I believe one of the judge's dissented on that cop out).
