🧵NEW: We got an ABSURD letter from Alvin Bragg @ManhattanDA today. He doesn't want to comply with the law and produce records about his communications with outside groups about the political targeting of @realDonaldTrump. #TrumpIndicment
Should we sue him?
Unpacking this response—it seems that Bragg doesn’t like transparency or any sort of business recording keeping. Keep in mind that he is targeting Trump for a records issue himself...
Ironic, we know.
On the topic of business records, the NY DA cannot search emails office wide?
The city is on fire with crime, and they say they don't have the ability to search their own emails?
Sketchy.
Records from 2022 are on “back-up” tapes?! How convenient! Also, how often does the DA’s office delete records?
Now this one is even more sketchy. Translating this from lawyerspeak:
Here @ManhattanDA cites the Grand Jury as a reason to not produce records with outside parties (like his comms with Members of Congress). These records aren't subject to the Grand Jury deliberations. It's a totally bogus excuse, especially when they are leaking like a sieve

🚨Biden’s Own DOJ Threw Red Flag on Autopenned Pardons 🚨
NEW DOCS FROM @EagleEdMartin show Biden’s own DOJ warned against autopenned clemency awards.
@realdonaldtrump should refuse to release inmates that received this illegal clemency and re-arrest those already released.
On Jan. 17, 2025, President Biden autopenned three warrants giving clemency to almost 2,500 people, including murderers, drug traffickers, and gang members.
One warrant awarded clemency to hundreds of federal inmates for “offenses described to the Department of Justice.”
The top career official at DOJ wrote an email to Biden Admin officials calling this autopenned warrant “highly problematic.”
Biden's DOJ had no clue what POTUS intended and called on him to clear the record.
It's HIGHLY UNUSUAL to see demands of the WH like this from the DOJ.
The US intel community (IC) is in its 2nd decade of failure viz the CCP - enough time for spooks brandishing IC credentials to enter Congress
They haven’t learned basic lessons and will fight necessary reforms
Let's review the players/failures🧵
Abigail Spanberger (@SpanbergerForVA), a CIA officer turned congress woman, is now running to be Virginia’s governor.
Despite a long record of the CCP buying bad US leadership, campaign finance records show Spanberger took 50K from a CCP-connected Chinese automotive magnate.
Spanberger also failed to recognize risks of the Bidens' CCP entanglement. She voted against an impeachment inquiry despite:
- the Bidens receiving millions from CCP intel operatives
- Joe's involvement with the operatives
- DOJ intentionally hiding these Biden connections
Weeks after Trump defeated Biden, China won approval to host the 2026 APEC economic forum.
FOIA shows US diplomats overcome by events: decisions were put off for weeks then passed to Jake Sullivan and Joe
In the end China left with the prize.
The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a forum for trade between Pacific nations.
These relationships are key to US security since China under the CCP is growing its influence, non-only Asia but also in South/Central America, by expanding mercantilistic relationships👇
State Dept. and US Trade Representative (USTR) officials understood at least a month before APEC 2024 that China would seek to host in 2026.
Through redactions we see both groups sought to block China or, at least, to gain some concessions in return for allowing China to host.
Investigating the social media of 50501 - a key organizer of “No Kings” protests - shows
- widespread connections to communist groups
- stronger connections to radicals than to the Left's mainstream
The Left is at a turning point🧵
Corporate media is aware of these connections but refuses to report on them.
Instead of performing independent analysis, they just repeat the talking points of 50501. 👇👇
Besides connections to communist groups, we found connections between 50501 and the Singham network - a known CCP influence operation. 50501 accounts followed Singham entities including ANSWER and Code Pink.
Here’s an example of Code Pink’s hard pivot on China following receiving millions from Singham’s network.
Prosecutors coordinated with Hunter's lawyers on media inquiries about slow-walking of investigation.
DOJ circulated a "proposed statement" drafted by Hunter's lawyers - the statement was designed to be hidden from FOIA.

Oversight Project’s lawyers have obtained communications from David Weiss’s lethargic Hunter Biden investigation.
The docs corroborate IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely’s account of DOJ slow-walking. They also show DOJ and Hunters’ team coordinated on media inquiries like this one 👇

In response to these inquires, DOJ and Hunter’s lawyers, whose positions should have been adversarial, set up a coordination call.
