2. @emmersbrown@isaacstanbecker. You are getting your facts from someone who has a financial interest in keeping this receivership in control. If the debtor firm transferred the money to Santos, the receiver is letting him get away with it by not being in Bankruptcy where a
3. trustee can recover a preference or void a fraudulent transfer. And that lawyer you're relying on and the receiver, are law partners who both get stiffed if it is put into Bankruptcy.
4. The clock is ticking on these recoveries and delay will be fatal to recovering it.

1. Here's a PR newswire that George Devolder nka George Santos and/or his business associate did for the Ponzi scheme.
Harbor City Capital Corp. Announces Opening of New York City Office to be Fully Operational prn.to/3W9Vyin
2. Alex Wagner interviewed one of the @nytimes reporters @AlexandraBerzon who with @gr_ashford did great reporting on Santos and his money. What everyone including the @SEC_Enforcement don't seem to comprehend is a Ponzi is a criminal conspiracy.
3. People are supposed to be prosecuted for it. I've litigated around several Ponizi schemes and they were are all related to federal criminal cases. If Santos was selling these bogus bonds @NewYorkFBI should have interviewed him.
1. More canned meat from the Kremlin? Here's a post that was just released by the Russian Embassy.
2. This photo appears to be from as early as May 5, 2022. Same shirt and tie. The paper clip in his hand in today's shot is visible on the desk and the rings of the ring binder in today's shot are visible in the earlier photo.
3. I remain of the view that Putin is not in full control and Patrushev, who IMO is much more dangerous than Putin, is in power. Putin is reported to have terminal cancer and may be under treatment, incapacitated or even dead though I don't think the latter is so.
1. There's an unfortunate tendency for liberal MSM and @TheDemocrats to pitch things like the IRS defunding bill the @HouseGOP passed as something other than a wasteful stunt with zero chance to become law. Instead we amplify it and give the Fascists what the want: attention.
2. All these stunts can be turned back on the GOP by focusing on a key GOP constituency and showing how the stunt will harm them. For me family farmers represent the most movable GOP constituency who will can be made sick of the games paying in 2024 and primed to cause a
3. a rout that gerrymandering would generally prevent. We knew they would bring this to the floor and did not have a clear messaging strategy that focused on the GOP base. Instead the @HouseDemocrats made it into another infomercial to raise money. While I understand the need to
1. These dockets appear to be related to three separte grand juries that were empaneled sometime in mid 2022 based on the "gj" numbers that ended 2022 with 22-gj-52. So the 22-gj-00030 to 22-gj-00033 likely in July to Sept. Before the special counsel.
2. This one is a head-scratcher. I can't say what the appeals court is addressing in the docket entry that addresses "procedural" and "dispositive" motions. I don't know a lot about mandamus practice but that could be what this is. Anyone know?
3. Here is an excerpt from the DC Circuit internal procedures that addressed the court's original jurisdiction that I think would permit motions practice under the All Writs Act for mandamus or prohibition writ petitions.
1. The grounds they give are no doubt true but might not be the principal reason. If they were to charge him for the insurrection (and IMO that's what the law and the facts support) would they take a position that they have to defend him for it? I think not.
2. Also, this is unopposed. Not a big deal normally but when you are pretty sure prosecutors are talking to his counsel who can agree to not force DOJ to pull the trigger by Jan 17, a decision to have no objection is an easy one. Just a bread crumb but a meaningful one.
3. So assuming this is granted, I'll start 30 day clock on his charges. If they respond at the end and support defending Trump, then we may get an idea that they are not going to charge him for the insurrection.
1. Good 🧵
If the Democrats gave him the votes it would work. Just removing them with the current rules would not lower the threshold. Only death does that. But would 2/3 of the house vote to remove them? My rough math says the Dems would need 75 GOP to vote for expulsion.
2. That's a Constitutional requirement that could not be changed by House Rule. If I wanted to play the foil for the GOP hopes of an outcome that does not give the Democrats more power, I would start to circulate the idea of removing the
3. four who were referred to the the Ethics Committee. But that would include McCarthy. Make it their "Give Us Barabbas!" moment. We might get the insurgents to vote for it. If you want to start a rock fight, somebody has to throw a rock.
