THREAD: Durham's Motion to Unseal Motion in Limine granted. Tweet-reading 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
2/ Note Durham going w/ FBI received Steele reporting in or about July 2016.
3/ LOL. To this day, I STILL see Leftist claiming the dossier was mostly true/corroborated or some such nonsense.
4/ It is truly crazy that our "free press" continues to frame Trump as coordinating with Russians when in fact, Clinton campaign HIRED Russian who provided disinformation re Trump that allowed spying on Trump campaign. And, yes, you are getting my live thought bubbles as I read.
5/ Holy crap! This is dirty CHS #4 at least, adding to Steele, Halper, and Joffe, which I detailed here. thefederalist.com/2022/07/21/jus…
6/ I need to just pause for a scream now: OUR FRICKIN' GOVERNMENT PAID FOR RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION.
7/ Oh, and yeah, more Russia connections of the Clinton Campaign, but let's instead target Trump.
8/ So Danchenko fingered @SergeiMillian as Source D.
9/ So weird that Crossfire Hurricane hadn't run this angle down within hours of getting Steele's report. My gosh Putin must think America's IC is Maxwell Smart.
10/ Again, Clinton Campaign not Trump was flush with Russia connections.
11/ Read this an pause for a second to consider how surreal this is. Hillary Clinton paid to spread this sh!t about Donald Trump making this a "normal" part of our conversation.
12/ This section of the brief REALLY caught my eye. Why? Read the entire section and then...
13/ Steele going on holiday in the midst of this huge assignment always struck me as strange and Cyprus, where @GeorgePapa19 was targeted and where Alfa Bank owner (I believe) was from seemed soooo strange, but now consider Dolan & his connections & timing.
14/ Dang, now I want to re-read all of FBI & Steele's reporting to see where they pulled this trick!
15/ context to @SergeiMillian tweets: And frankly I don't blame him for not trusting FBI. Would you want to risk being arrested by Biden's men in black?
16/So Durham's going with Steele incorrectly believed and not deceived.
17/ OMgosh....They ARE Maxwell Smart! And they asked him to be a CHS.
18/ SO Clinton paid a Russian agent for dirt on Trump is take-away!
19/19 So in sum, new info of significance:
1) Danchenko CHS
2) @SergeiMillian not testifying
3) Hillary is the Russia, Russia, Russia connected on
4) And CYPRUS thread has potential to be huge.

Holy CRAP! A district court judge entered an injunction that allowed the states that had processed 100% of SNAP without authorization to keep the money! Trump is still seeking stay of lower court's order to fund SNAP with school lunch money. 1/ Image

OMgosh. This judge is BONKERS! 1/ Image
Image
2/ Here's argument: Trump Administration can't "fix" state's incompetence or its system of distributing money. And it is ridiculous to say it is arbitrary and capricious to keep money for kids food for kids food. Image
3/ How in the hell does this judge think he has the authority to force the administration to take money from another program to pay SNAP benefits? Image

THREAD on challenge to tariff: Opening this is tax. Common sense: Implausible Congress meant to let President to overhaul tariff. It is a one-way ratchet. It is a "sanction" statute, not a tariff statute.
1/
2/ Attorney: Verbs deal with embargoes but nothing about raising revenue. Many statute tariffs: Have many limits, this statute doesn't. Statutes say "tariffs" or equivalent.
Thomas: Going back to non-delegation point if, wouldn't that apply to embargoes.
Attorney: No. We aren't saying you can't delegate tariff you need to give "intelligent principles".
Justice Roberts: Foreign facing tax, but isn't that core power of Article II...and quite effective in achieving certain objectives.
Attorney: Think of this as Article I and Article II. Tariffs have foreign policy implications but founders gave that in Article I section 8 to Congress.
Justice Kavanaugh: If tariff were in the statute would that be acceptable and constitutionally permissible.
Attorney: Congress grant that authority to Presidents.
ME: WOW. He doesn't believe in non-delegation.
Justice Kavanaugh: What does Nixon stand for? Did Congress aware of that? Nixon announced in nationwide prime time speech, it wasn't a little piece of paper. Why didn't Congress change language?
Attorney: Nixon didn't rely on that statute and Nixon disagreed statute applied. The Circuit Court of Appeals decision doesn't change plain meaning. And even if Congress knew about it that doesn't help because case didn't say "unlimited authority," and use another statute. This president has torn up entire tariff architecture that Congress created.
3/ Justice Alito (?): Start with "regulate importation" would you agree that includes fees.
Attorney: NO.
Alito: "Regulate admission to park" can that include fee.
Attorney: Not helpful answer. Tries to distinguish from tariffs.
Alito: Are tariffs always revenue raising? What if imposed tariff to take effect in 90 days and agreement is reached is that a tax?
Attorney: This is obviously revenue raising. Taxation is different.
Alito: You cite many different provisions, what if imposed in an emergency?
Attorney: You need more precisions. Never has Congress added a tariff authority.

THREAD: SCOTUS Tariff argument live summary. 1/
2/ John Sauer opens with summary of why Trump has power, framing as foreign affairs.
Thomas: Ask why major question doctrine doesn't apply.
Sauer: In foreign affair context, you expect Congress to give major powers, since he has Article 2 power.
Justice Kagan (I think): What kind of Article 2 powers are you relying on.
Sauer: President has broad authority in foreign affairs.
3/ Sauer: Article 2 power PLUS sweeping delegation by Congress and we are giving you Article 1. We aren't saying it is power to tax, but to regulate.
Justice Alito (?): Damsin Moore (spelling). We said very narrow, we confined to very questions in that yet you keep citing. Different provision of federal statute.
Sauer: We don't dispute narrow opinion but say it addressed same principles that apply here.
Justice Kagan (?): I just don't understand this argument. You are saying this isn't tax but it is a tax. You are saying this is regulatory but I don't understand this argument. Or that foreign powers or even an emergency say it can do away with major questions doctrine.
Sauer: Court has never applied in foreign affair.
Justice Kagan: Could have declared a national emergency in global warning and then forgiven student loans.
Sauer: gets cut off again.
Justice Kagan: Why does Congress always use tariff and regulate but not here.
Sauer: Cites another case but cut off.
Justice Kagan: cuts off again. AUGH. I think she has a good point but can't follow because she cuts off Sauer.
