THREAD: Election officials in GA, WI, MI, AZ and NV have received subpoenas from the special counsel demanding their communications with the following list of conspirators. Let’s go through the list. 1/

CHESEBRO: he’s the guy who wrote crime fraud excepted emails to Eastman planning to have congress object to GA electors so they could get a lawsuit in front of Clarence Thomas. He also said fear of 1/6 violence could motivate SCOTUS to take their case and overturn the election 2/

JUSTIN CLARK: this is the trump lawyer that was interviewed in the Bannon contempt case. He told the DoJ that Donald never invoked executive privilege for steve. He also told the 1/6 cmte that he refused to participate in the fraudulent electors scheme 3/

DIGENOVA: lawyer for “fraud guarantee”. Rudy pal. Been on my fantasy indictment team for years. He was part of organizing the fraudulent electors scheme. 4/

EASTMAN: another architect of the fraudulent elector scheme and the Pence pressure campaign. He tried desperately to keep his crimey emails from the 1/6 committee, but judge Carter said it was more likely than not that he and Donald violated 18 USC 371 & 1512c2. 5/

ELLIS: she was fired from her job as a parking ticket prosecutor and joined the Kraken strikeforce. She helped spread the big lie and coordinated legislative “hearings” in multiple swing states to push the fraudulent electors scheme. 6/

EPSHTEYN: total asshole. Advised Donald to go on offense and sue for a special master. He was part of the phony elector scheme, had a call with Donald on the morning of 1/6, and had his phone seized by the DoJ back in September. 7/

RUDY: serial farter. Giver of press conferences at landscaping companies. His hair melts. He was one of the main organizers of the elector scheme - holding fake legislative hearings, peddling the big lie, attacking election workers. His law license is suspended. 8/

KERIK: he emailed Rudy & Meadows conceding they didn’t have any evidence of voter fraud & they needed to focus on the fraudulent elector scheme. His lawyer, Parlatore, is paid by the Save America PAC - which is also under criminal investigation. Here’s Kerik in cuffs. 9/

MARKS: he coordinated the swing state pressure campaign with Mike Roman, Epshteyn, and other trump lawyers. He’s not the brightest bulb, having referred to Cleta Mitchell as Clavita, and calling Arizona Nevada. 10/

CLETA: friend of Ginni. Marks can’t say her name properly. Helped coordinate the Ellipse rally and worked on the fraudulent elector scheme. 11/

MORGAN: trump lawyer who signed off on Eastman’s SCOTUS brief on behalf of the trump campaign in support of the Texas lawsuit against the swing states. 12/

OLSEN: spoke to Donald multiple times on 1/6. It was his idea to use the justice department to overturn the election results. He called the 1/6 hearings “Soviet show trials” and sued to block a subpoena. He’s not important enough to have a photo online. 13/

OLSON: called Donald on Christmas Day 2020 and suggested martial law, firing acting AG Rosen, tampering with the DoJ, AND he’s so smart he wrote all the crime ideas down in a memo and sent it to trump. 14/

PASSANTINO: paid for by the Save America PAC. He was the scumbag that repped Cassidy Hutchinson and was paid handsomely by trump to do so until she realized he wasn’t looking out for her best interests. She fired him and hired a different lawyer, then she testified. 15/

POWELL: Kraken lawyer slapped with sanctions for bogus election lawsuits. She was at the 12/18 Oval meeting. Donald wanted to appoint her special counsel to fabricate election fraud to give the states a reason to appoint trump electors. 16/

STEPIEN: former trump campaign manager who assisted with the plot to pressure Pence to throw out electors and delay the count. 17/

TOENSING: DiGenova’s partner. Repped Fraud Gaurantee. Was part of the fraudulent electors scheme. She was included on an emails sent by Bobb updating folks on trumps effort to speak to officials in multiple states to pitch alternate electors. 18/

TROUPIS: he was a recipient of Chesebro’s fraudulent elector scheme memo. He communicated with Ron Johnson asking him to hand deliver fraudulent elector certificates. 19/

LIN WOOD: loudmouth election denier who filed multiple lawsuits to overturn the will of the people in Georgia. He’s being investigated by the state bar. He once posted that they should get a firing squad ready for the former VP. END/

THREAD: Here's what the Mueller Report has to say about Cohen: "After the FBI searched Cohen’s home and office in April 2018, the President publicly asserted that Cohen would not “flip,” contacted him directly to tell him to “stay strong,” and privately passed messages of support to him." 1/

"Cohen also discussed pardons with the President’s personal counsel and believed that if he stayed on message he would be taken care of. But after Cohen began cooperating with the government in the summer of 2018, the President publicly criticized him, called him a “rat,” and suggested that his family members had committed crimes." 2/

This is from Volume II - the Obstruction of Justice Volume. The treatment of Cohen was part of a larger pattern of obstructive behavior by Donald Trump. Eventually, Bill Bar would write a memo declining to charge Trump for Obstruction even if he weren't the president. 3/

THREAD: all in all a great summary here, but I take issue with some of the language. First, none of these electors are being treated as “dangerous criminals”. None are in pretrial detention. Several have been given leeway on violating bail conditions. And none are charged with violent crimes. 1/

The reason some have been charged and others haven’t is because some broke the law and others didn’t. It’s not because prosecutors have special feelings about whether they’re “dupes” or “dangerous criminals”. I don’t see any “dupes” being charged in any state. In PA and NM, the electors said “we will not sign something that says we are the official electors. Put some contingency langue in here” and in AZ and MI they said “fuck yeah we’re the real electors even tho we know we aren’t. Keep this quiet.” The rest took plea deals. None of that is weird or inconsistent. 2/

Also, to say Chesebro is getting off with a slap on the wrist while others aren’t doesn’t make any sense. None have gone to trial, been convicted, or received a sentence. It’s weird to compare their punishments when they haven’t been doled out. Plus, chesebro is cooperating. Generally speaking, cooperators get less jail time than non-cooperators. Third, MI just issued new search warrants for Cheaebro because his cooperation might not have been truthful, so his investigation isn’t even over. 3/

BREAKING: Merrick Garland opened an investigation into Trump as soon as he got to the DoJ in March 2021.

Actually, this news is over a month old. But I bet you haven't heard about it much in the media. 1/

According to multiple sources familiar with multiple conversations in the first months of Garland's tenure, "Garland gathered his closest aides to discuss a topic too sensitive to broach in bigger groups: the possibility that evidence from the far-ranging Jan. 6 investigation could quickly lead to former President Donald J. Trump and his inner circle." 2/

"At the time, some in the Justice Department were pushing for the chance to look at ties between pro-Trump rioters who assaulted the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, his allies who had camped out at the Willard Hotel, and possibly Mr. Trump himself." 3/

New thread. Dreeban is up for DoJ. The existing system is a balanced framework, it protects POTUS but not at the high cost of blanket immunity.

Thomas: are you saying there's no immunity for official acts? D: yes, but for today, our position is POTUS as head of art II branch can assert art II objections to criminal laws that interfere with a POTUS power or that prevent him from his constitutional functions. What petitioner wants is blanket immunity absent impeachment and conviction which has never happened in our history and we submit that isn't necessary to assure POTUS can perform his tasks.

Roberts: The DC Circuit says "a former POTUS can be prosecuted for his official acts if he's acted in defiance of the laws". Doesn't that seem tautologically true? It sounds like the circuit court is saying a POTUS can be prosecuted because he's being prosecuted. That concerns me. D: I wouldn't suggest that's the governments position. R: You know how easy it is to get an indictment. Relying on the good faith of a prosecutor and a grand jury, and if those are the only protections the court of appeals gave, and that's no longer your position, why shouldn't we send it back to the court of appeals? (That would be bad), or issue an opinion that's not the law?

D: I do support the circuit court's ruling and I think there are layered safeguard that will emiliorate the concern of chilling the POTUS. A politically driven prosecution would violate the constitution. I don't want to overstate your honors concern with relying on good faith, but that's an ingredient, and the courts stand ready to provide oversight.

R: yes but the appeals court didn't get into what acts or what documents we're talking about. Because the fact of prosecution takes away immunity according to the appeals court, they had no need to look at what acts were immune and which weren't.

D: (this is great) Well i take issue with the idea of taking away immunity. There is no immunity in the constitution unless this court creates it today.

D: one of the chief concerns of the framers was abuse of power. They departed from the British model that you could be impeached and convicted criminally at the same time. The framers created impeachment as a political remedy separate from criminal prosecution.

Alito: you recognize the POTUS has a special form of protection, that status that are applicable to everyone, they must be applied differently to POTUS sometimes:

Dreeben: it's true b/c the courts construe statutes to avoid serious constitutional questions. that's longstanding practice of OLC

A: this is more than a quarrel about special protection. If statues are interpreted differently for former presidents than that can be litigated at trial. He can make a motion to dismiss, and he may cite OLC, and the judge says lets go to trial, and that may involve great expense, and during the trial, the former president might not be able to engage in activities he wants to, and then there's a jury and appeal, so protection is greatly diluted if it takes the form you propose. Why is that better:

D: it's better because it's more balanced. Blanket immunity takes it all off the table. IF the conduct takes place at the end of a term, and impeachment is difficult, and we don't know whether a POTUS can be impeached after he leaves office...

Good morning! I'll do my best to live tweet the SCOTUS immunity arguments starting now. John Sauer, for trump, says "Without immunity, there can be no presidency." Which makes no sense because we've had plenty of presidents and no immunity 1/

He brings up some hypotheticals about drone strikes and border policy, and how every president from now on will face blackmail and prosecution. Thomas asks to clarify what the source of the immunity is. Sauer says the executive vesting clause - that it encompasses all the powers of the president. (That's wrong. The executive vesting clause actually limits the term to four years so that cuts against trump.) He then cites (and cherrypicks) Marbury v Madison 2/

Fitzgerald v Nixon "outer perimeter" gives us what the president is immune from. What if the act is appointing an ambassador, and the president took a bribe? Sauer says bribery is not an official act. (interesting, neither are other crimes). Roberts: yeah, accepting the bribe isn't the official act, appointing the ambassador is. So how do you square that? Sauer says the indictment has to be expunged of what is official and what isn't official. (lol, that's a reach) 3/

THREAD: Good morning! Oral arguments are about to begin in Fischer v US. This is the case about the interpretation of Title 18 USC 1512c2 Obstructing an Official Proceeding. I'm going to do my best to live tweet the arguments. 1/

For background, over 300 insurrectionists and trump himself are charged with 1512c2. It carries a maximum 20 year sentence. Several insurrectionists challenged the meaning of this law, but only ONE judge out of 14 went along with this nonsense. 2/

The nonsense being that the word "otherwise" connects 1512c1 and 1512c2 in such a way that the "documents" mentioned in 1512c1 apply to 1512c2. Fischer argued "since I only attacked the capitol and didn't mess with documents, I shouldn't be charged with this" 3/
