Witness: Stepien wife in labor so will substitute his deposition video for hia live testimony
Ivanka & Jared
Jason Miller: Giuliani intoxicated & said Trump should declare victory, they stole it
Stepien: Fox called AZ for Biden.He was surprised. Spoke to Giuliani. Stepien thought they shld say nothing except votes still bein counted. #TFG disagreed and said this was a fraud, "frankly we did win the election."
Stirewalt: Former Fox: TFG had no fact basis for that claim.
.@RepZoeLofgren qs Stirewalt. Explains Red Mirage -History shows Republicans win election day and Democrats win mail vote because that is how each group votes. Plays clip of Barr confirming that mail vote would go for Democrats.
Stepien says he told Trump early returns would be positive but mail vote wouldn't so it would be a long night, a process, have to wait and see.
Clip of Trump: contradicting campaign aides and lying by claiming fraud.
Stepien had McCarthy who agreed w him talk to T & tell T same
Stirewalt: He's proud Fox had best forecasts & made early call that was correct & they beat the competition--Biden won AZ. Knew it was significant . Not surprised bec of their polling before. Moved to calling other critical states. No chance of enough votes changing vote outcome.
Stepien knew there was little chance of victory and told that to Trump.

Clips from Barr deposition: avalanche of fraud allegations, all checked out by DOJ, completely bogus, based on total misinformation, no substance. Told T that on 12.23 and same to Jared & Meadows who he asked how long T would keep up fake fraud allegations. T kept it up on Fox.
Barr deposition: TFG says there was big vote dump in Detroit. Barr told him facts, incl that T did better in Detroit than 2016. Raised idiotic claims about Dominion voting machines and said it was disservice to voters. Next day T releases lies anyway about dump and Dominion...
Dominion report had no supporting proof, amateurish, if T believed it, Bar says "T was detached from reality." Barr also says 2000 Mules movie ridiculous, lacking evidence of widespread vote harvesting, just noral traffic passing ballot boxes.

1/Just listened to my #SistersInLaw co-host @JoyceWhiteVance answering great questions from @JoyAnnReid. I admire both & almost always agree with Joyce, but I'm with Joy on the issue of AG Garland's slow pace. Justice delayed creates impression that Trump is above the law &...
2/...lets his lies infect upcoming primaries. Similiarly, the delay in acting on a clear case of obstruction of Congress by @MarkMeadows puts him above the law &,even if he's about to be indicted for a substantive crime, inaction on his obstr emboldens others to not cooperate,...
3/Joyce is right that there may be cases in development, and one could be announced tomorrow and we wouldn't & shouldn't know (don't want AG to violate rules I criticized Comey for doing) but many crimes were committed in plain sight and require action now.

1/Too many good things to say in 1 tweet about why Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson should be confirmed so please read this full thread.
1st, one of our nation’s brightest legal minds with exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character, and unwavering dedication to the rule of law
2/* Brings new diversity to SCOTUS as the first black female justice & only the 2nd to have criminal defense experience as a public defender & member of Sentencing Commission, + personal experience on both sides of the law as a relative of police officers & a convicted criminal
3/* She has all the traditional qualifications to become a Justice: Harvard and a SCOTUS clerkship (for Justice Breyer, whom she is nominated to replace)
* She's a top jurist with more experience on the federal bench (incl DC Circuit) than almost all of her predecessors

1/ #Jan6thCommittee votes to hold @MarkMeadows in contempt. This is the right decision, but commentators saying that Meadows has a stronger case for ExecPriv than Bannon are wrong. Both have ZERO basis for claiming privilege. Here's why - and it's worth reading the full thread.
2/ There are many reasons why neither Bannon or Meadows has a legitimate ExecPriv claim. 1st, ExecPriv only covers convesations with the president about the job of the president. Planning a coup and overturning the results of an election are not part of the job of any president.
3/ That alone ends the issue, but there's more. 2nd, SCOTUS' #Watergate decision giving my team President Nixon's tapes also made clear that even where conversations are about policy and privileged, ExecPriv gives way to overriding national interests like those involved here.

1/I was too upset by SCOTUS abortion arguments to tweet. I can't repeat Mississippi's arguments to overrule Roe because they are ridiculous. Lawyers for the clinics & the US (Rikelman & SG Prelogar) were brilliant and made almost all the points needed, but it fell on deaf ears...
2/ Here are my random reactions to Dobbs arguments:
If Roe is overruled, it would be the 1st reversal of an existing constitutional right. Past cases have expanded not contracted rights. Abortion has been a right for nearly 50 yrs - during which Republican party and Federalist...
3/ Federalist Society have worked to eliminate it. Compaing overruling segregation to overruling Roe is ridiculous. One ended a Constitutional violation, the other takes away a Constitutional right without anything changing in law, fact, or medicine...

SCOTUS disappoints -- as expected -- again. SB8 clearly deprives pregnant people of a right guaranteed to them by the Constitution and enshrined in Supreme Court jurisprudence. Why not say so or at least allow stay until you say so, which ultimately you must.
People who can be pregnant and want reproductive healthcare or an abortion include transwomen and people is therefore the properly inclusive terminology.
