1--#KamalaBusRape Case

Here are the documents I have from this case.

As a reminder for those who have not been following this, there is a man who comes to the country as an illegal alien. He is convicted of a domestic violence crime. He gets out of jail and settles in San Francisco, a sanctuary city. Somehow, he gets a job as a bus driver carting around drunk and rowdy people at night from one night club to another. He and his cousin conspire to let the illegal alien bus driver rape a married woman in her twenties. The rape is brutal. He's arrested and Kamala, when District Attorney, agrees to let him off for a ridiculously lenient 3-year prison term.

Given the 4-image limit, it will take a thread to attach all of the pages.

I want you to focus on the police officer's report of what occurred. And on the victim's impact statement given in open court.

And then ask yourself if such a prosecutor has disqualified herself from the presidency. My answer is a resounding "yes," she is disqualified.

Lastly, note that this case was not personally prosecuted by Kamala but by an assistant DA that she would have needed to sign off on -- one Adrian Ivancevich.

As I digest this document, I will post reactions.

But let me start with the first thing that jumps out at me: The document is signed as pictured below. There is no mention that Jack Smith and his subordinates are at the U.S. Department of Justice.

As if you needed any better indication that they regard themselves as an extra-constitutional Fourth Branch of government. They are no longer listing their institutional affiliation.

(Though they list their address as that building that many DOJ alums call "Main Justice" at 9th and Pennsylvania Aves., or more formally the Robert F. Kennedy Justice Building. Presumably, the name of the building is not used (and I can tell you that is standard on DOJ court filings coming out of Main Justice) because in either variant of the building's name DOJ would have to use the word "Justice.")

Now stop to think why Jack Smith might have done this: It raises the question of whether use of any Justice Department organ to go after a former President of the United States is constitutional and could comport with the Supreme Court's July 1, 2024 immunity decision in Trump v. United States.

+1 The redactions are ridiculous. None of them are designed to shield either privileged information or inadmissible evidence from public view, but instead just to ostensibly conceal identities.

But the identities pop out at you, if you’ve been following the constant news story drum beat against Trump in the MSM and you’ve read the J6 Report.

So what that means is essentially that virtually nothing is redacted. The process is a joke. The redactions are an easily penetrated smokescreen that has nothing to do with protecting witnesses.

In this connection, let me make a prediction: Norm Eisen, Brookings, Just Security, , the Brennan Center, and/or the NYT and Washington Post will issue a redactions guide before too long.

It will be in the form of a Key — P1 is such and such person, P2 is __, P3 is either __ or __, etc.

You watch. If I’m wrong, I’ll re-ripen this point and admit it. But I don’t think I will be.Lawfare.com

+2 There is a fatal admission on Page 9 of Jack Smith’s filing.

The background to understand the importance of the admission is that Smith is saying (like the J6 Cmte before him) that Trump’s criminal state of mind is established by the fact that many Trump advisors told him that he had lost the 2020 election.

That theory has always been ridiculous because advisors are just that — they advise — the President decides. Their advice is not imputable/attributable to the President’s state of mind.

But there is a little parenthetical on Page 9 that these advisors “were telling the truth that he [Trump] **did not want to hear**—that he had lost ….”

This inherently confesses that Trump disagreed with his advisors telling him he’d lost. That right there negates “the criminal mind” or what lawyers call scienter.

And without the requisite scienter or intent, Trump cannot legally be convicted of a crime.

Trump’s only “crime” is believing that he won the 2020 election, something many Americans both sophisticated and ordinary agree with.

1/4 This is Barr covering his posterior, since the informant info goes back to 2017, as John Solomon reported. He wants to lay the inaction on the Biden Administration whereas in reality, the inaction straddles both the Barr DOJ and this DOJ, with Wray as a constant across both.

https://twitter.com/AUnredacted/status/1666451464208764932

2/4 Now, the way Barr would answer your question is that he had assigned looking at Hunter Biden corruption allegations to the Delaware US Attorney, so sending Joe Biden corruption allegations to the same US Attorney seemed like a natural fit.

3/4 But what you & the American people need to ask is a logically prior question: Why would Barr ever want to send any Biden family investigations to Delaware? That's the Biden family's HOME POWER BASE. They have been instrumental in the rise of many people who hold office there.

1/x This will be a long 🧵on the topic of whether H.R. 3746's permitting reform is worth something or is basically worthless. H.R. 3746 raises the debt limit.
From here on out, I call it "the Bill."

This will no doubt be my longest thread so strap in. I'll begin with main pts.

2/x The "reforms" in H.R. 3746 (“the Bill”) will do little to solve the serious problems created by the 1970 National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and its regulations.

NEPA is a law that requires all infrastructure projects to be analyzed for their environmental effects.

3/x Worse even than Nixon's price controls, his signing the NEPA statute was one of his worst decisions.

NEPA is the go-to statute for leftist environmental groups to block infrastructure projects. You wonder why in China infrastructure sprouts up overnight but it takes 2 yrs

1/x OK, I've listened so as not to be only abstract. (This will be a long thread as I'm going to take the most salient things on point by point.)

First, there will be snark or acrimony here. I'd like to think of both @JennaEllisEsq and @josh_hammer as friends in conservatism.

https://twitter.com/josh_hammer/status/1663571741162057728

2/x Second, I think reasonable conservatives can differ in the race between Trump and DeSantis.

Third, I think DeSantis does have his merits.

Fourth, I'm not going to descend into the intercamp mud wars.

Fifth, the Jenna-Josh podcast exchange was better than I'd expected.

3/x Still, I think the points they made are thin and in particular, I don't think Jenna carried the burden to explain her switcheroo.

There were many generalities & much public-relations speak. Those things always strike me as so much diaphanous mist.

Now, on to the merits ...

1/4 Rep Raskin tells us several things about “woke” here, all of which I think is balderdash:

see around 19:50-21:00 mark.

Specifically, he says:

1) conservatives don’t know what the term means;
2) the Left doesn’t really know what it means either;

2/4 cont’d:
3) we on the Left have stopped using the term anyway, so conservatives are too late; &
4) I, Rep Raskin, have a def’n for “woke” which is “stay vigilant” because we Dems are under attack.

3/4 No, “woke” is cultural Marxism, an attack on our traditions, religious life & culture.

The Left runs from “woke” as a label now because they prefer their radical beliefs to rest inside the equivalent of an amorphous smoke screen where they can hide.
