NEWS ALERT:

We just filed new fed lawsuit against #Trump & two criminal defs for wrongful death of @CapitolPolice Ofc #BrianSicknick arising from #January6th insurrection/coup attempt. #Accountability

Our legal team is: @PhilAndonianEsq @mattkaiser @noahbrozinsky @BradMossEsq
Official media release:
Any recovery from this lawsuit by Officer #BrianSicknick's estate, represented by longtime partner #SandraGarza, for his wrongful death due to #January6th is planned to be donated to charity.
I have been steeped in #January6th matters since that day.

I have been honored to represent @libradunn & @SergeantAqGo, two other heroes of #January6th, along with my colleague @DavidLaufmanLaw.
I am also very proud to represent @JulieFarnam, who was USCP Acting Intel Chief, and a lawful #whistleblower. @wbaidlaw

But let's not forget some of the battles I had with @January6thCmte regarding its Staff Director #DavidBuckley and Senior Staff Member #JoeMaher.

My comments on @January6thCmte final report which really left a lot on the table & I question why.

The #Sicknick wrongful death lawsuit has been assigned to Judge Amit P. Mehta, who has been handling many #January6th matters.

1/I have now received formal notification from @DCSAgov revoking my security clearance. No substantive reason. Solely relies on Trump the Butcher's instruction. No due process permitted though memo says "consistent with existing law" which requires it.

whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
2/I have held #securityclearance for nearly 25 years, incl having my access increased to TS/SCI in 2020 by first Trump Administration. Yet as reported I have lost access bc of 2019 representation of lawful Intelligence Community #whistleblower, i.e., for doing my job as attorney.
3/Of individuals targeted by Trump the Butcher, I am pretty much only person who actually relies upon #securityclearance for work, is non-partisan, registered Independent & reps GOP & DEM. I have been targeted simply bc I am attorney representing my clients & enforcing #RuleOfLaw

1/My statement on learning through news reports that my #securityclearance has just been revoked. Image
2/I'm honored by President Trump bestowing upon me a Red Badge of Courage, but if he and his partisan minions think this will deter me from holding them accountable to the rule of law, they are sadly mistaken.
3/By existing law, I am entitled to lawful due process, to include being informed why after 25 years of access to classified information I am suddenly untrustworthy, and I fully expect to be afforded the opportunity.

1/I understand legit debate re: #DEI & whether pendulum swung too far, too quickly.

But what happened today at @NSAGov's @NatCryptoMuseum is unacceptable. Trump Admin new DEI policy disgraces cryptological historical trailblazers & icons in community.

See two covered areas? Image
2/This is NSA's Hall of Honor. As website describes:

It was created in 1998 and "pays tribute to Americans and others who have given especially distinguished service to the United States in cryptology and its related fields."

cryptologicfoundation.org/community/cryp…
3/Hall of Honor is abt 100 people & prob 95% white males.

Covered area on left is men & people of color.

Covered area on right features women.

Items were placed in Oct 2022 & have nothing to do w/#DEI or wokeness. Reflected Museum's decision to honor those who broke barriers.

1/President Trump just issued Executive Order to revoke #securityclearances of 51 signatories, eight of whom I rep, who signed Hunter Biden laptop letter in 2020.

But here's the problems with it:

Ignore fact that no President has ever done this before.

whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
2/Presidents have ultimate authority concerning indiv's access to #classifiedinformation. No dispute. That's how Trump overrode multiple concerns by agencies during 1st term & granted access.

Since 50s Red Scare no Pres has punished clearance holders over 1st Amendment rights.
3/Although EO intent is to revoke all clearances, doesn't quite do that. Instructs Dir of National Intelligence, who is Executive Agent over clearances, to start revocation. Not sure why DNI needs to consult w/CIA. Accomplishes nothing. DNI controls appropriate database already.

1/On Friday, Jan 10th, @ODNIgov will issue new Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning #AnomalousHealthIncidents. @POTUS/WH did not ask for it. @CIA initiated it to counter recent House Intelligence Committee report that "a foreign adversary is behind some AHIs".
2/In March 2023, @ODNIgov issued ICA stating "IC’s judgment that U.S. adversaries, including Russia, were not engaged in a global campaign resulting in AHIs."



But HPSCI found it "lacked analytic integrity and was highly irregular in its formulation."dni.gov/index.php/news…
@ODNIgov 3/An IC Experts Panel earlier concluded "Pulsed electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radiofrequency range, plausibly explains the core characteristics of reported AHIs, although information gaps exist." My law firm helped secure declassification of report through #FOIA.
