Another significant discovery I include in today's piece: It appears Halper also lied to FBI about his conversations with @carterwpage Here's the summary of what Halper told the FBI. But Page in an exclusive interview with The Federalist from 2020 (BEFORE these notes were 1/
2/ released, in which Page was discussing the IG report and what the IG report said, told The Federalist. But now that we have FBI notes documenting what Halper told agents, we know it wasn't that IG responsible for "extraordinary mischaracterization"--IG was merely repeating
3/3 what FBI notes said Halper told FBI. So it was Halper who made the "extraordinary mischaracterization" to FBI re Page.

The targets of Fulton County prosecutor @FaniWillisForDA are finally fighting back, with Senator @LindseyGrahamSC and @CongressmanHice going to federal court to stop political hit job. Here's your primer on Speech or Debate Clause. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2022/07/22/ful… 1/
2/ To fully appreciate the politics at play, here's an addendum that was to side-track-y to insert in the article. In responding to Hice's Motion to Quash, Willis actually makes this argument: Image
3/ That argument is NUTSO. Congressman Hice "removed" the subpoena at issue to federal court from the state county court. That is precisely what the constitution allows and the governing statutes provide for. And the reason the constitution allows is b/c Founding Father's Image

THREADETTE. THIS is a must-read by @MZHemingway (I know that's axiomatic!) But it is. She hammers several key points @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2022/07/19/nev… First, those claiming conservative creds often aren't. Second, report frames challenges as only fraud, which they aren't and 1/
2/ then ignores most significant illegal vote issues (not fraudulent, but illegal) and pretends to address them by summarizing court cases. And third, report ignores distrust in election when potential for fraud is great, which it is with wide-spread mail-in-voting.
3/ Carter Commission made this point clear not even twenty years ago. Trump isn't the reason why people distrust 2020 outcome; the lack of reasons to trust the outcome is. Finally, a thought from me: I WISH a group would highlight the many rumors of fraud that occurred &

THREAD: So, now that Halper's attempt to toss @RealSLokhova case has failed, some thoughts on discovery I'd love for @McAdooGordon to obtain, in no particular order:
1) List of all individuals or entities contacts by Halper, his attorneys, or someone acting on his behalf, 1/
2/ or for his benefit, identifying who contacted whom, when, and providing all related documents.
2) List of all individuals or entities contacted by Halper, his attorneys, or someone acting on his behalf related to any topics in Lokhova's book.
3) Request to admit: He read book
3/ 4) Provide any notes (in whatever form) he took re book;
5) Identify anyone he spoke with re book;
6) Identify anyone he spoke with since Jan. 2016 about Lokhova;
7) List any factual errors in book;
Feel free to crowdsource the discovery list. GO:

You might have heard of HHS's letter to health care providers that they must provide abortions in case of emergency. The letter is two parts propaganda and one put legal bait-and-switch. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2022/07/13/bid… 1/
2/ And now one-part stink-eye and one-part thank you @KingMakerFT who "gave" me the assignment to write it up by raising my ire about it.
@KingMakerFT 3/ Also, an elaboration for the lawyer-geek types on a point too weedy & premature for article. EMTALA expressly preempts state law ONLY where there is a "direct conflict," that means if it is possible to comply with both federal & state law without offending federal objective,

THREAD on @MZHemingway must-read @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2022/07/01/the…, which both brings the receipts AND makes several key points missed re Jan. 6 charade. Adding a couple of my own thoughts too. 1/
2/ First & foremost: This paragraph is EVERYTHING. I feel this in my bones. Stop. The. In-Fighting.
3/ And realize the January 6 Committee is intentionally stoking the infighting by making the hearing about fraud only so it makes Barr seem as he didn't investigate fraud and in fact told others not to investigate fraud. That's a bait-and-switch. thefederalist.com/2022/06/20/why…

THREAD RANT PART II: Next tweet in thread will link to original rant, but I open with this. As much as I disapproved of @RepLizCheney participating in J6 show trial, I accepted she was acting as her conscience dictated to do right by her country. See prior tweets re Cheney. 1/ ImageImage
2/ If you enlarge those pictures you will see in first one every time I mentioned "Cheney" ever on twitter. Only prior time was to "defend" her against baseless attack BEFORE today. But @RepLizCheney has not merely been a pawn she has been a perpetrator of fraud on country &
3/ an innocent DOJ attorney who have a family to support. She knowingly and maliciously lied about him when he cooperated fully w/ committee. And has caused @washingtonpost & other outlets to repeat lies.
