1/ Thread: January 6th - Looking Back. We knew almost all of this way back on January 7th, 2021.
* Photos surfaced of Jacob 'QAnon Shaman' Chansley with Rudy Giuliani in Nov 2020. Behind Rudy in the photo is Bernie Kerik who has been close to Giuliani since about the 1980s.
2/ Kerik was NYPD Commish when Rudy was Mayor of NY & received a Trump pardon in early 2020 for several felonies from years earlier. Kerik was also on a #FightBack Foundation Board soliciting donations to combat the 'radical left' with Lin Wood, yes the 'execute Mike Pence' guy.
3/ Kyle Rittenhouse's initial lawyer John Pierce was also on the Board, but stepped down after his financial issues were revealed. Rittenhouse eventually fired Pierce who now reps J6 defendants and Proud Boys. Pierce made an interesting Rittenhouse related tweet the night of J6.
4/ Pierce has referred to his ex-client Giuliani as a 'good friend'. Giuliani left a voice mail for the wrong Senator on Jan 6 - he meant it for Sen. Tuberville - where Rudy expresses a desire to delay certification of the presidential election results.
5/ What did the Capitol breach accomplish? It slowed certification. And then we also have a former John Pierce client, George Papadopoulos, who tweeted about a '1776 moment' on Jan 5th and appears to have subseuently deleted the tweet.
6/ And then again on the night of J6, the Proud Boy, Giuliani, Lin Wood, George Papadoupolous and apparently Enrique Tarrio (see tweets below) and more connected lawyer added more on social media.
7/ More has come to light. Chansley was sentenced and is in prison. He's hired Pierce for a potential appeal. 'Trial by Combat' Giuliani met w/ the Committee. More on the '1776 moment' has come out. Enrique Tarrio - indicted for 'seditious conspriacy' - is now in this mix.
8/ According to the New Yorker, six days after the Capito Riot, Pierce arranged a meeting with Enrique Tarrio and his then client Rittenhouse. The article refers to Tarrio as Pierce's 'purported client.'
9/ A year and a half later, there is so much out there about J6. Almost all the information in this thread was known as early as Jan 7th, 2021, just one day after the Capitol attack. The Committee has done a ton of work. The hearings are must see television. Will you tune in?

So Terrence Bradley - Nathan Wade's divorce lawyer - worked hand in hand with Trumpian lawyer Ashleigh Merchant for months to get Fani Willis and Wade. And Merchant conveniently cherry-picked from hundreds of now revealed text messages. Interesting.

ajc.com/politics/this-…
Now we know why Bradley didn't want to take the stand. He was secretly working to screw over his former client and law partner, as well as Willis . And both he and Merchant agreed she would keep his name and gossip out of it, but then Merchant subpoenaed him anyway. Unbelievable.
And a really telling revelation from the texts - that should be game over - is Bradley and Merchant specifically discussed getting someone to submit a sworn affidavit which Merchant could use in her effort to disqualify Willis. They came up w/ no one. Instead she relied on gossip

JUST IN: :Jack Smith says again Trump DC trial should not be televised. It is a scathing 4-page filing worth a read. A few nuggets

* 'He desires instead to create a carnival atmosphere from which he hopes to profit by distracting'.
* Although the defendant proclaims that his goal is for the American public to watch the proceedings in this case, he has consistently made clear his desire to delay the trial in this case or to ensure that one does not happen at all.'
* 'If the defendant sought sunlight as he claims, he should welcome the opportunity to put the Govt. to its proof at trial. Instead...he will continue to attempt to avoid answering for his criminal conduct in the courtroom while...publicly grandstanding on the Court's docket.'

George Santos tells a federal court he'd rather be locked up than release the identities of the suretors of his $500K bond. He says if the identities are revealed 'the suretors are likely to suffer great distress, may lose their jobs, and God forbid, may suffer physical injury.'
Here's a link to a 3-page letter from his lawyers. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

1/ BOOM - Former GOP officials file friend of the court brief with the 11th Circuit saying Judge Cannon got it wrong. The TOC reflects the core arguments, including that an ex-President is entitled to no greater protection under the law than any other citizen.
2/ A friend of the court brief is an 'amicus' brief. It's filed by people who are not a party to the case - not the DOJ, not Trump - who believe they have an interest in the court's decision. So they ask a court - here the 11th Circuit - to also consider their legal arguments.
3/ The 'friends of the court' or 'Amici' here are: Ex-federal & state officials Donald Ayer, John Bellinger III, Gregory Brower, John Farmer Jr., Stuart Gerson,Peter Keisler, Alan Charles Raul, Olivia Troye, William F. Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman. Short bios below.
