#MattyDickPics confesses he's getting a partisan selection of files.

So embarrassing to be so easily manipulated by Elmo like this. Image
For those asking how #MattyDickPics got his name -- it has been a long time since his first embarrassing failures in his Twitter propaganda.

BREAKING: The next piece of the puzzle was that #MattyDickPics wailed that Twitter took down nonconsensual dick pics posted by Guo Wengui. Image
And the next piece of the puzzle is we caught you lying about efforts to protect the vote.

emptywheel.net/2023/01/11/mat…
The next piece of the puzzle is @JamesComer revealed you were lying about censorship.

@JamesComer Holy shit this is exceptional.

#MattyDickPics has decided to hire "people to chase down" the details he didn't check before he went on a Twitter rant. Because that's how he does "journalism."

Fucking hilarious. Just fucking hilarious. Image
@JamesComer #MattyDickPics, who hasn't retracted any of about 7 egregious errors in his little Twitter rants, lectures others about revisiting their actual journalism. Image
Watch #mattydickpics engage in the kind of propaganda tactics he claims to be critiquing.

Just RIDICULOUS that he thinks he's fooling anyone but Elmo stans. Image
One more thing about #mattydickpics' wails that other journalists won't pick up on his rat turds? This "Hamilton 68" thing he wants others to use as "leads"? Was reported in real time 5 years ago.

Also, she claims there has been little judicial scrutiny of this, ignoring the 4 precedents and Hunter Biden's similar challenge rejected by 2 Trump appointees.
Oh also: If she's right, statutes of limitation on Trump's alleged crimes go until 2027.

Hunter Biden's started expiring last year.
The hubris of someone with the confidence that these services rendered will be rewarded with a gratuity in a year's time. Image

Some amusing bits about the media frenzy.

1) We've talked about little but Biden's age since January. Yet certain hacks with a gripe claim they were the only one telling that secret that led all the news.
2) CREDIBLE stories -- that is, the ones that quote people on the record and/or very specifically described people anon, rather than just inventing a conspiracy retroactively based on feels -- all describe a decline since January, and more in recent months.
3) MANY of the people posing as journalists appear not to understand there are two questions: Does he drop from the race, does he drop from the presidency.

Given that the more detailed reports are about STAMINA and speaking (not dementia), those are different things.

Journalists (who should be smarter than right wing propagandists) all seem to be missing something about the MAL filing.

This blue leatherbound box is where these classified files were taken from -- the source of the famous pic released last August.

If you don't understand that, you understand almost nothing abt the filing.Image
Image
Image
How do we know the blue leatherbound box = the classified docs in the August box?

Warrant returns are your friend!!

So are item numbers, in which this box is IDed as item 2 and its contents 2A. Image
Why does it matter that that blue leatherbound box = the August picture = Item 2?

Because that's one of the central things they're fighting over, and certain right wing propagandists are lying about.

Q pertains to treatment of cover sheets.

DOJ releases new pictures of Trump's stolen document boxes getting dumped.

Aileen Cannon is doing her best to prevent a trial before the election, but by all means make sure we get more pictures like this one (my annotations). This box had the most sensitive docs found.

DOJ reiterates their assertion that the cover sheets in the famous photo, AND close to 50 empty cover folders, were in the blue leatherbound box when they found it.

Let's correct the false claims here.
1) Egypt National Bank convinced Beryl Howell they complied with this subpoena -- it's unclear how the Chinese records resolved.
2) Mueller didn't tank this investigation. After a long subpoena fight, he handed it over to DCUSAO.
3) That's precisely the same thing he did with Roger Stone investigation: After year-long subpoena delay, he handed over still ongoing investigation into whether Stone conspired w/RU on CFAA.
4) We know what happened to Stone investigation: Barr killed it, Trump killed it more.
5) We don't know, for sure, what happened to suspected Egyptian funding (via way of China??) investigation; it was killed in same weeks when Barr was killing most of the rest of Mueller. It's possible that refusal to subpoena Trump Org killed it.

Reupping: Judge Hernán Vera denies Garrett Ziegler's MTD against Hunter Biden's lawsuit.

I'm still seeing people wildly misrepresent this lawsuit. It is not abt distributing data. It is about HACKING it.

emptywheel.net/2024/06/21/gar…
There was an iPhone--one central to the gun case against Hunter--saved ONLY in iTunes (not iCloud), and protected by a password. Ziegler admits he accessed it -- lots of journos have relied on him doing so. Q is whether doing so was accessing Hunter's data.
It'll be an interesting legal case (Ziegler is arguing that bc Hunter never owned the hard drive on which he, Ziegler, obtained the PWD-protected iPhone content, it is not Hunter's data). But it'll be still more interesting discovery.
